Dishwasher detergent is corrosive!
Take care to keep it out of reach of children.
The amount of detergent needed can vary due to differences in waterhardness. To determine thewater hardness in
your area,contact yourlocal waterutility orareawater softening company. The harder thewater, the more detergent
you may need. Remember, you should adjust the amount of detergent you use by small amounts until you find the
correct amount.
To remove hard water spots, try the following:
Run dishes througha normalwash program.
Remove allmetal dishware,such ascutlery,pans, etc.,
from the dishwasher.
Do notadd detergent.
Pour two cups of vinegar into a bowl and set the bowl face
up on the lowerrackof the dishwasher.
Runthedishes throughanormalwash program.
If this doesn't work,try the same process with 1 / 4 cup of
citric acid crystals instead of vinegar.
Useonly detergent specifically madefor use in dishwashers.
Keep yourdetergentfresh and dry.Don'tputpowderdetergent
into thedispenser untilYou're readyto washdishes.
Therinse aid is releasedduring the final rinse to prevent
water from forming droplets on your dishes thatcanleave
spots and streaks. Italso improves drying by allowing

TO PREVENT FORMATION OF DEPOSITS, DO NOTADD TOO MUCH DETERGENT. THIS DISHWASHER HAS
SPECIALLY-DESIGNED WATER SOFTENERS.
The dispenser must be refilled before the startof each wash cycle Referto instructions under the Wash CycleTable
on page 4.This unit uses less detergent and rinse aid than most conventional dishwashers. In general, only one
tablespoon or detergent is needed fora nomral wash load.Addmore detergent as needed for heavily soiled loads.
Always add detergent just before starting the dishwasher, othervise it could get damp and not dissolve properly.
To open the dispenser, turn the cap to the "open" (left)
