Detergent must be added to the dispenser before the start of every cycle except RINSE ONLY. The detergent chamber holds 1.4 oz. (40 g) when full, but that is invariably too much detergent. Fill it no more than ¾ full. If the dishes are only moderately dirty, it might be possible to use even less detergent.
Press the latch button to open the detergent chamber.
Add detergent in the proper amount.
(See chart, below.)
Close the cover and be sure the latch clicks.
If pre-wash cycle is selected (in SOAK or POWER SCRUB only), add the appropriate amount of pre-wash detergent in the recess on the door cover. When you close the dishwasher door, the detergent will fall into the tub.
NOTE: Too much detergent will leave a film on the dishes.
Turn the round cap counterclockwise and remove it.
Fill the reservoir. It holds 4.8 oz. (145 ml)
Replace the cap and lock it.
Adjust the rinse-aid setting as necessary.
The factory setting for rinse aid dispensing is 3. Too little rinse aid contributes to spotting, streaking, and poor drying performance. Too much rinse aid causes foaming, which leads to poor washing performance.
How often you refill the dispenser depends upon your washing habits, including the rinse aid setting, the number of loads per month you wash, and other factors. The indicator light will illuminate at the start of a load when the level is low.
The spray intensity for the upper lower racks is programmable by the customer. By selecting SOFT SPRAY for the upper rack and STRONG SPRAY for the lower rack, you can wash delicate items like stemware on top while washing pots and pans on the bottom.
1. Press and hold SPRAY to illuminate the indicator.
2. Press SPRAY to set the intensity for the upper rack. (Strong/Medium/Soft/Off)
3. Press HALF LOAD to confirm the selection for the upper rack.
4. Press SPRAY to set the intensity for the lower rack.
5. Press HALF LOAD to confirm the selection for the lower rack.
6. Select other options.
7. Close the door.
8. The dishwasher will start.
