[. . . ] · Close door firmly to latch and resume cycle. 11 Dishwasher Dispenser & Detergents Filling the Detergent Dispenser 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 will 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 will not dissolve properly. 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 filming or spotting. Using too much detergent in soft water can cause a permanent film called etching. Your local water company, water softener company or county extension agent can tell you the water hardness in your area. Cover Main Wash Cup · · · Cover Latch Pre Wash Cup Note: If the cover is closed on the Main Wash Cup, open by pressing the cover latch.

A water softener is recommended to improve water quality and dishwashing performance. Try adding more detergent at the beginning of the main wash portion of the cycle. As a rule, use 1 teaspoon for each grain above 12. Unlatch the door, open slowly and add detergent to the bottom of the tub. Close the door to latch and the dishwasher will continue through the cycle. 12 Dishwasher Dispenser & Detergents (continued) Rinse Aid Rinse aid greatly improves drying and reduces water spots and filming. Water "sheets" off dishes rather than forming water droplets that cling and leave spots. A dispenser, located next to the detergent cup, automatically releases a measured amount of rinse aid during the last rinse. If spotting and poor drying are problems, increase the amount of rinse aid dispensed by rotating the dial to a higher number.
