NOTE: Use both sections for cycles with 2 washes. Use only the 
main wash section for cycles with 1 wash. See the “Cycle 
Selection Chart” for more details.
How much detergent to use
The amount of detergent to use depends on the hardness of 
your water and the type of detergent. If you use too little, 
dishes won’t be clean. If you use too much in soft water, 
glassware will etch.
Water hardness can change over a period of time. Find out 
your water’s hardness by asking your local water department, 
water softener company, or county extension agent.
You can order a water hardness test strip. In the 
U.S.A., call the Customer Interaction Center at 
1-800-422-1230 and ask for Part Number 4171690.
Different brands of dishwasher detergent have different 
amounts of phosphorus for softening water. If you have hard 
water and use a detergent with a phosphorous content of less 
than 8.7%, you might need to use more detergent, or use a 
detergent with a phosphorous content higher than 8.7%.
NOTE: Fill amounts shown are for standard powdered detergent. 
Amounts may vary if you use liquid or concentrated powdered 
detergent. Follow instructions on the package when using liquid 
dishwasher detergent or concentrated powdered detergent.
Rinse Aid Dispenser
Rinse aids prevent water from forming droplets that can dry as 
spots or streaks. They also improve drying by allowing water to 
drain off of the dishes during the final rinse by releasing a small 
amount of the rinse aid into the rinse water. Your dishwasher is 
designed to use a liquid rinse aid. Do not use a solid or bar-type.
Filling the dispenser
The rinse aid dispenser holds 4.8 oz (145 mL) of rinse aid. Under 
normal conditions, this will last for about three months. You do 
not have to wait until the dispenser is empty to refill it. Try to keep 
it full, but be careful not to overfill it.
1. Make sure the dishwasher door is fully open.
2. Open the dispenser by pushing the cover latch.
3. Add rinse aid until the indicator window looks full.
4. Clean up any spilled rinse aid with a damp cloth.
5. Close the cover. 
NOTE: The cover latch clicks when the cover is closed and 
latched.
Rinse aid setting
The amount of rinse aid released into the final wash can be 
adjusted. The factory setting is at 2. For most water conditions, 
set the adjuster to 1 or 2. If there are rings or calcium (hard water) 
spots on dishes, try a higher setting.
To adjust the setting
Open the dispenser cover. Turn the adjuster inside the dispenser 
to the desired setting.
