CAUTION
The use of industrial grade detergent can
damage the heating coil and other parts of
the dishwasher leading to damage to the
unit and surrounding property. Use only
household grade automatic dishwasher
detergents.
If the cover is closed on the Main Wash
Cup open by pressing the Cover Latch.
How much Detergent to use
The amount of detergent to use depends
on the water hardness. Water hardness is
measured in grains per gallon. Using too little
detergent can result in poor cleaning and hard
water fi lming or spotting. Using too much
detergent in soft water can cause etching
to some glassware which is surface damage
that appears like a fi lm but cannot be wiped
off. Your local water company, water softener
company or county extension agent can tell
you the water hardness in your area.

DISHWASHER DISPENSER & DETERGENTS
The detergent dispenser has one covered
and one uncovered cup. Detergent in the
uncovered cup falls into the dishwasher when
the door is closed. The covered cup opens
automatically to release detergent.
• Use only fresh automatic dishwashing
detergent. Other detergents may cause
oversudsing.
• When using automatic dishwashing
detergent tabs, place one tab in main
wash cup and close.
• Add detergent just before starting cycle.
• Store detergent in a cool, dry location.
Moist or caked detergent may not dissolve
properly.
Filing the Detergent Dispenser
As a rule, use 1 teaspoon for each grain above 12. For very hard water, detergent alone
may not be enough and then a water softener is recommended to improve water quality and
dishwashing performance.
