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.

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.

Add Rinse Aid
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 "Add" level or, when rinse aid indicator looks light. The
light visual indicator means to add rinse aid, and the dark visual
indicator means that there is sufficient rinse aid in the
dishwasher.
Dispenser with one lid - To add
rinse aid, turn the dispenser
cap to "Refill" 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.

Dispenser with two lids - To add rinse
aid, press "A" to open the cover. Fill
the dispenser with rinse aid up to the
dotted line. Close the cover.
NOTE: For most water conditions, the
factory setting of 2 will give good results.
If you have hard water or notice rings or
spots, try a higher setting. Turn the arrow
adjuster inside the dispenser by either
using your fingers or inserting a flat-blade
screwdriver into the center of the arrow
and turning.
