Dishwasher Setup
Detergent
Use only detergent specifically designed for dishwashers. For best results, use fresh powdered dish-
washing detergent or detergent tabs
.
NOTICE
To avoid dishwasher damage, do not use hand dishwashing products in your dishwasher.
To avoid dishwasher damage, do not use too much detergent if your water is soft. Using too much
detergent with soft water may cause etching in glassware.
The dishwasher uses less water than most, therefore, less detergent is
required. With soft water, 1 tablespoon (15 ml) of detergent will clean
most loads. The detergent dispenser cup has lines that measure deter-
gent (Figure 1) to 1 tablespoon (15 ml) and 2 tablespoons (25 ml). 3
tablespoons (45 ml) of detergent will completely fill the detergent dis-
penser.
Note: If you do not know the hardness of your water supply, use 15 ml (1
tbsp) of detergent. Increase the amount if necessary to the least amount
required to get your kitchenware clean.
Use the measuring lines in the detergent dispenser cup as a guide to
measure the amount of detergent recommended in Table 1.
