Dishwasher Dispenser & Detergents
The detergent dispenser has one covered cup.  
The covered cup opens automatically to release 
detergent.
• 
Use only fresh automatic dishwashing 
detergent.  Other detergents may 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 may not dissolve properly.
Filing the Detergent Dispenser
       CAUTION
The use of industrial grade detergent can damage 
parts of the dishwasher leading to damage to 
the unit and surrounding property.  Use only 
household grade automatic dishwasher detergent.
       NOTE
Hard water may cause lime deposit buildup 
on the interior of the dishwasher.  For cleaning 
instructions see “Removing Spots and Film” 
section.
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 fi lming or 
spotting.  Using too much detergent in soft water 
can cause etching to some glassware which is 
surface damage that appears like a fi lm but cannot 
be wiped off.  Your local water company, water 
softener company or county extension agent can 
tell you the water hardness in your area.

       NOTE
Detergent tablets and All-In-One packs may not 
dissolve completely if used with the Quick Wash 
cycles.  If one of these products are used, place 
the tab or pack directly on the bottom of the tub 
in a corner before starting the dishwasher, rather 
than placing these products in the dispenser.
