Adding Detergent and Rinse Agent
Detergent
To avoid dishwasher damage, do not
use hand dishwashing products in your
dishwasher.
Use only detergent specifically designed
for dishwashers. For best results, use fresh
powdered dishwashing detergent.
This dishwasher uses less water so you need to
use less detergent. With soft water, 1 tablespoon
(15ml) of detergent will clean most loads. The
detergent dispenser cup has lines that measure
detergent to 1 tablespoon (15ml) and 1.75
tablespoons (25ml). 3 tablespoons (45ml)
of detergent will completely fill the detergent
dispenser cup.
To avoid dishware damage, do not use too
much detergent if your water supply is soft.
Using too much detergent in soft water may
cause etching in glassware.
NOTE: If you do not know the hardness of your
water supply, use 15ml of detergent. Increase
the amount of detergent, if necessary, to the
least amount required to get your dishware and
kitchenware clean.
Use the measuring lines in the detergent
dispenser cup as a guide to measure the amount
of detergent recommended in Table 1.
