11 The detergent dispenser The detergent dispenser has one section with a cover and one without. Put detergent in both sections for cyces with two washes. See Cyce seection chart on paw 8. Put detergent ony in the covered section for cyces with one wash. See Cyce seection chart on page 8. Push the cover down unti it is atched. Detergent in the open section fas into the dishwasher when the door is cosed. The covered section opens automaticay when the main wash starts. How much detergent to use The amount of detergent to use depends on the hardness of your water. If too itte is used, dishes won t be cean. However, if too much is used in soft water, gassware wi begin to etch. HARD-Fi one or both sections to sighty beow the top of the section (3 tabespoons) if water hardness is 8 or more grains per gaon, or 135 or more parts per miion. Leave enough space in the covered section to aow cover to cose. MEDIUM-Fi one or both sections to the top of the second step (2 tabespoons) if water hardness is 5 to 7 grains per gaon, or 85 to 119 parts per miion. SOFT-Fi one or both sections to the top of the first step (1 tabespoon) if water hardness is 0 to 4 grains per gaon, or 0 to 68 parts per miion. Find out your water s hardness by asking your oca water department, water softener company or county extension agent. Use covered section aone for cyces with one wash Cover atch Use both sections for cyces with two washes Using the rinse agent dispenser Rinse agent dispenser Keep the rinse agent dispenser fied with a iquid rinse agent. A rinse agent greaty improves the drying of dishes by heping water fow off them during the ast rinse. A rinse agent aso keeps water from forming dropets and drying as spots. Reease of a sma amount of rinse agent into the rinse water is automatic in the fina rinse of each cyce. For best drying resuts, check the dispenser periodicay to see if it needs refiing. 11

12 To check dispenser Remove dispenser cap. If dispenser is empty, an E wi be ceary visibe inside the dispenser. E shows when empty The center of the Fi Indicator cap wi be cear when dispenser needs refiing. Center wi ba cear when mpty To fi dispenser You do not have to wait unti the dispenser is empty to refi it, but do not overfi it. The dispenser wi hom 6 ounces (175 ml) of rinse agent. Under norma conditions, this wi ast about 3 months. 1. Make sure the dishwasher door is fuy open. 2. Remove the Fi Indicator cap. 3. Add rinse agent to the dispenser. Do not fi past the smaest opening in the ower part of the dispenser. f you overfi, excess rinse agent can come out. This wi not harm the dishwasher, but coukf cause over-sudsing. 4. Cean up any spied rinse agent with a damp coth. 5. Repace the Fi Indicator cap and keep it tighty cosed. NOTE: Your dishwasher is designed to use a iquid rinse agent. You do not need to use a soid or bar-type rinse agent. Quiet operating tips To avoid thumping and cattering noises during operation: Make sure ightweight bad items are secured in the racks. Make sure pot ids and handes, pizza pans, cookie sheets, etc. do not touch interior was or interfere with the spray arm s rotation or cover the spray tower. Keep rinse agent dispenser tited for best drying resuks w Do not fi past smaest opening Load dishes so they do not touch one another. NOTE: Keep sink drain pugs inserted during dishwasher operation to prevent noise transfer through drains. 12

13 Water temperature tips Hot water dissoves and activates the dishwashing detergent. Hot water aso dissoves grease on dishes and heps dry gasses spot-free. For best dishwashing resuts, water must be at east 120 F (49 C) as it enters the dishwasher. The dishwasher wi automaticay heat the water to hep washing performance. To check water temperature 1. Run hot water at the faucet cosest to your dishwasher. Let the water run for at east one minute. 2. Measure the water temperature with a candy or meat thermometer. Put the thermometer in the running stream of water. 3. If the water temperature at the faucet is beow 120 F (49 C), have a quaified person raise the water heater s thermostat setting. Energy saving tips You can hep save energy if you: Wash fu oads. Running a haf-fied dishwasher uses the same amount of eectricity and hot water as a fuy oaded machine. f your mode has the Light Wash cyce, use it whenever possibe. The cyce uses ess hot water and energy than the Norma Wash cyce. Use the Energy Saver Dry option when you don t need a rapid drying cyce. Aow onger drying times (overnight). Use a rinse agent to improve drying. Load correcty for best washing resuts. Incorrect oading may cause poor washing and the need to rewash a or part of the oad. Do not pre-rinse normay soied dishes. Seect the correct cyce for the oad and use the recommended amount of detergent for good washing resuts without hand-rinsing. Use your dishwasher during off-peak hours. Loca utiities recommend this to avoid heavy usage of energy at certain times of day. Use the Low-Energy Washing option, if avaiabe. The water heating in the main wash and fina rinse wi be reduced. NOTE: Loads may not wash as we if the water temperature is too ow. 13
