IMPORTANT: Remove leftover food, bones, toothpicks and other 
hard items from the dishes. Remove labels from containers before 
washing.

■

Make sure that when the dishwasher door is closed no items 
are blocking the detergent dispenser.

■

Items should be loaded with soiled surfaces facing down and 
inward to the spray as shown. This will improve cleaning and 
drying results. 

■

Avoid overlapping items like bowls or plates that may trap food. 

■

Place plastics, small plates and glasses in the upper rack. 
Wash only plastic items marked “dishwasher safe.” 

■

To avoid thumping/clattering noises during operation: Load 
dishes so they do not touch one another. Make sure lightweight 
load items are secured in the racks. 

NOTE: If you do not plan to run a wash cycle soon, run a rinse 
cycle. Do not use detergent.

■

Use automatic dishwasher detergent only. Add powder, liquid 
or tablet detergent just before starting a cycle.

■

Fresh automatic 
dishwasher 
detergent results in 
better cleaning. 
Store tightly closed 
detergent container 
in a cool, dry place.

■

For optimum 
performance, tablet 
detergent is 
recommended.

■

The amount of detergent to use depends on: 

How much soil remains on the items - Heavily soiled loads 
require more detergent.

The hardness of the water - If you use too little in hard water, 
dishes won't be clean. If you use too much in soft water, 
glassware will etch.

Soft to Medium Water (0-6 grains per U.S. gallon) 
[typical water softener water and some city water] 
Medium to Hard Water (7-12 grains per U.S. gallon)
[well water and some city water]

■

Depending on your water hardness, fill the Main Wash section 
of the dispenser as shown. Fill the Pre-Wash section to the 
level shown, if needed. 

NOTE: Fill amounts shown 
are for standard powdered 
detergent. Follow instructions 
on the package when using 
other dishwasher detergent. 

■

Your dishwasher is designed to use rinse aid for good drying 
performance. Without rinse aid your dishes and dishwasher 
interior will have excessive moisture. The heat dry option will 
not perform as well without rinse aid.

■

Rinse aid keeps water from forming droplets that can 
dry as spots or streaks. They also improve drying by 
allowing water to drain off of the dishes after the final 
rinse.

■

Rinse aid helps to reduce excess moisture on the 
dish racks and interior of your dishwasher.

■

Check the rinse aid indicator. Add rinse aid when indicator 
drops to “Refill” level.

■

To add rinse aid, turn the dispenser 
cap to “Open” and lift off. Pour rinse 
aid into the opening until the 
indicator level is at “Full.” Replace 
the dispenser cap and turn to 
“Lock.” Make sure cap is fully 
locked. 

■

Make sure nothing keeps spray arm(s) from 
spinning freely. It is important for the water 
spray to reach all soiled surfaces. 

■

When loading silverware, always place sharp 
items pointing down. Mix other items 
pointing up and some pointing down.
