Dishwasher detergent is corrosive!
Take ca re to keep it out of reach of ch ildren.
IF THEWATER ISN'T TOOHARD, YOU MAYALSO PREVENT THEFORMATIONOF DEPOSITS BY ADDING
DETERGENT.
The amount of detergent needed can vary due to differenc es in wate r hardness. To determin e the water ha rdness in
your area, c ontactyourlocal water utilityor area w ater softening company. Theharder the water,the more detergent
you may need. Remember, you should adjust the amoun t of detergent you use by small amounts until you fi nd the
correct amount.
To removehard w aterspots,try the following:
Run dishes throug h a normal wash pro gram.
Removeall metaldishware,suchascutlery, pans,etc.,
from the di shwashe r.
Donot add detergent.
Pour two cups of vi negar into a bowl and set the bowl fa ce
up on the lower rac k of the dishwasher.
Runthe dishesthroughanormalwash program.
If this doesn't wor k, try the same pr ocess with 1 / 4 cup of
citric acid crys tals in st ead of v inega r.
Use only detergen t specificall ymade for use in dishwa shers.
Keepyourdetergent fresh anddry. Don'tput powderdetergent
into the dispenser until You're ready to wash dishes.
The rinse aid is release d during the final ri nse to prevent
water from forming dr oplets on yo ur dishes tha t can leave
spots andstreaks. Italsoimproves dryingby allowing
water to"sheet"offthe dishes.
Your dishwashe rs are design ed to use liquid rinse aids .
The rinse aid dispen ser is located ins ide the door n ext to
the detergent dispense r.To f ill th e dispenser, open the
cap and pour the rinse ai d into the dispenser u ntil the l evel
indicator turns c ompletely black. The disp enser holds
about 100 ml of liqu id rinse aid.
Becareful notto overfill the dispenser,because thiscould
cause over sudsing. Wip e away any spills withadamp cloth.
Don't forge t to replace the cap be fore you clos e the
dishwasher doo r.
If you have soft wate r,youmaynot need rinse aid for it may

A measured amountof rinseaid is released during the final rinse. Aswith detergent, theamount
