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
ll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lterbeforestartingthecycle.
• Toomuchdetergentcanleavealm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nal
rinse.
• Do not use detergent tablets for shorter wash
cycles. The tablet may not dissolve completely,
causingdetergentresidueondishesandinefcient
cleaning.
• Using a wash booster helps remove spots, residue,
andthewhitelmcausedbyhardwater.Itdoesnot
help remove excess detergent residue.
