 Dishwasher 

Operating Your Dishwasher 

•  Do not use hand dishwashing detergents. They will create 

excessive foaming that interferes with proper operation. 

•  To make sure the detergent dissolves properly, fill the 

detergent dispenser just prior to starting your dishwasher. 

Detergent will harden if it sits too long. 

•  Store dry detergent in a cool dry place to prevent caking. 
•  Use a liquid rinse aid for best results (See page 15). 
 

 If the detergent dispenser lid is closed, press the release 

button to open it. 

 The detergent dispenser has 2 compartments: The 

smaller pre-wash compartment, and the main wash 

compartment. 

 The pre-wash compartment empties into the dishwasher 

when the door is closed. The main wash compartment 

releases detergent automatically during the main wash 
cycle. 

 Fill the pre-wash cup to the top. 

 See the table below for the amount of detergent to use in 

the main wash cup. The amount of detergent required 

depends on the hardness of the water in your area. 

Harder water requires more detergent. Water hardness is 
measured in grains per gallon (gpg). Do not use too little 

detergent for your water hardness. Doing so can cause 

poorly cleaned dishes, filming, or spotting. If you use too 

much detergent, you can cause a permanent film called 

etching. To find out the water hardness in your area, 

contact your water company.  

 After loading both compartments, close the dispenser lid. 

 Detergent alone may not be enough for water hardness 

above 12. For maximum cleanness you may need to use 

a water softener. Or you may add additional detergent 

about 20 minutes after starting your dishwasher. As a 

rule, add 1 teaspoon for each grain above 12: 
1.  Open the door. The dishwasher will stop operating. 
2.  Wait a moment for the steam to clear. 
3.  Without touching any of the hot surfaces or racks, pour additional 

dishwashing detergent into the bottom of the dishwashing compartment. 

4.  Close the door. Push on the door handle to make sure that the door is 

completely shut. After a short pause, operation will resume.
