Adding Detergent to the Dispenser
• Remove the label on the dispenser prior to running
the dishwasher for the first time.
• The amount of detergent needed depends on the
cycle, load size, and soil level of dishes.
• Put detergent into the detergent compartment
before starting any cycle, except the Rinse cycle.
1
Push the button on the dispenser lid to open the
cover.
2
Add dishwashing detergent to the main wash
compartment until the level is between the lines
marked 15 and 25.
• Fill to over the 25 line for hard water or heavily
soiled loads.
• Fill to the 15 line for soft water or lightly soiled
loads.

Push the detergent lid to slide the lid closed until
it clicks.

If a prewash is desired, fill the recessed prewash
compartment area on the lid with detergent.
WARNING
• Dishwasher detergent and rinse aid contain
chemical components, like all other household
detergent. So, they must be kept out of the reach
of children.
CAUTION
• Use only detergent intended for dishwashers.
Incorrect detergent may cause the dishwasher to
fill with suds during operation. Excess suds may
reduce wash performance and may cause the
dishwasher to leak.
• To avoid damaging the dispenser, do not pull up
on the dispenser to close the dishwasher door.
NOTE
• After completion of the wash program, check
whether the detergent was completely washed out.
• Some dishwasher detergent tablets may become
stuck in the dispenser due to their excessive size.
Tablets can be placed onto the base of the wash tub
next to the filter before starting the cycle.
• Too much detergent can leave a film on dishes
and in the dishwasher, resulting in poor wash
performance.
• If dishwasher detergent tablets are used without
liquid rinse aid, the dishes and dishwasher interior
will have excessive moisture. Select the Extra Dry
option for better drying performance.
• Using liquid rinse aid improves drying performance
by allowing water to drain off of dishes after final
rinse.
• Do not use detergent tablets for shorter wash
cycles. The tablet may not dissolve completely,
causing detergent residue on dishes and inefficient
cleaning.
• Using a wash booster helps remove spots, residue,
and the white film caused by hard water. It does not
help remove excess detergent residue.
