■ Depending on your water hardness, fill the Main Wash section
of the dispenser as shown. Fill the Pre-Wash section to the
level shown, if needed.
NOTE: Fill amounts shown are for
standard powdered detergent.
Follow instructions on the
package when using other
dishwasher detergent.
■ Powdered detergent is recommended for use in the drawer
dishwasher.
Add Rinse Aid
■ Your dishwasher is designed to use rinse aid for good drying
performance. Without rinse aid, your dishes and dishwasher
interior will have excessive moisture.
■ Rinse aid keeps water from forming droplets that can dry as
spots or streaks. They also improve drying by allowing water to
drain off of the dishes after the final rinse.
■ Rinse aid helps to reduce excess moisture on the dish racks
and interior of your dishwasher.
■ When the dispenser is low and needs to be
refilled, an indicator light on the control panel
will illuminate.
■ To add rinse aid, turn
the dispenser cap a
¹⁄₄
turn counterclockwise
and remove. Pour
rinse aid into the
opening until the liquid
reaches the FULL
level marking. Replace
the dispenser cap and
turn clockwise until
the cap is secure.
NOTE: For most water conditions, the factory setting of 3 will give
good results.

Start or Resume a Cycle
■ Prior to starting the dishwasher, run the water at the

a brief pause, the cycle will begin. The drawer must be closed

will flash, a tone will sound, and the dishwasher will not begin.

within 4 seconds.
■ You can add an item anytime before the main wash starts.
Open the drawer slowly and add the item. Press the START/
