OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Filing the Detergent Dispenser
The detergent dispenser has one covered
and one uncovered cup. Detergent in the
uncovered cup falls into the dishwasher
when the door is closed. The covered cup
opens automatically to release deter-
gent.
• Use only fresh automatic
dishwashing detergent. Other deter-
gents 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 loca-
tion. Moist or caked detergent may
not dissolve properly.
If the cover is closed on the Main
Wash Cup open by pressing the
Cover Latch.

How much Detergent to use
The amount of detergent to use depends
on the water hardness. Water hard-
ness 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 etching to some
glassware which is surface damage that
appears like a film 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.
CAUTION
The use of industrial grade detergent
can damage the heating coil and other
parts of the dishwasher leading to
damage to the unit and surrounding
property. Use only household grade
automatic dishwasher detergents.
