Filling the Detergent Dispenser
The detergent dispenser has one main wash cup and
one prewash cup. 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.

*Note: For very hard water, detergent alone may not be enough. 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.
