Dishwasher - Dispenser and Detergents Guide

Issue

• Dishwasher not cleaning properly

Applies to

• Dishwashers

Solution

SmartBoost™ Clean

This dishwasher includes the SmartBoos™ Clean system. SmartBoost™ Clean features a separate spray arm that directly sprays the detergent compartment which aids in dissolving detergent faster. This reduces detergent residue left on the dishes and in the dish compartment.

Filing the detergent dispenser

The detergent dispenser has one covered cup. The covered cup opens automatically to release detergent.

To add detergent:

1. Press the dispenser cover latch to open the main wash detergent cup.
2. Add the recommended amount of detergent to the main wash cup.
3. Slide the main wash cover back over the main wash cup to close.

How much detergent to use

The amount of detergent to use depends on the water hardness. Water hardness 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.

Dosage of detergent

Place a single detergent tablet or packet into the detergent dispenser compartment.

Detergent Tips

• Use only fresh automatic dishwashing detergent. Other detergents may cause over sudsing.
• 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 location. Moist or caked detergent may not dissolve properly.
