This dishwasher may have SmartDispense TM , a
feature which automatically dispenses liquid
automatic dishwasher detergent into each cycle
based on soil level and water hardness.
To utilize the SmartDispense TM Detergent Dispenser,
it must first be filled. Although any liquid or gel
automatic dishwashing detergent can be used in the
SmartDispense
TM system, all liquid or gel automatic
dishwashing detergents are not the same. Most
automatic dishwashing detergents are chlorine
bleach-based (such as Cascade
® or Electrasol ® )
while others contain enzymes (such as Cascade
Complete
® ).
Do not mix any chlorine bleach-based automatic
dishwashing detergent with any dishwashing
detergent containing enzymes as this could cause
the detergents to congeal and lead to blockage of
the SmartDispense
TM system. Check the detergent
label to determine if the detergent is chlorine
bleach-based or one that contains enzymes. It is
recommended that the same type of detergent be
used when refilling your SmartDispense
TM system.
CAUTION!
Absolutely do not add
powder detergent, tablets or any liquid soap or
detergent normally used for washing hands or
dishes in a sink. Only use liquid or gel detergent
specifically designed for use in an automatic
dishwasher.
To open the dispenser for filling, push down and
turn the blue cap counterclockwise until the cap is
loose. Lift cap off.
Set the door at a comfortable angle to fill the
dispenser.
Aim the detergent bottle at the opening in the door
and begin to fill.
The dispenser will hold 45 oz of liquid dishwasher
detergent (standard size bottle).
When full, replace the cap and turn clockwise until
tight. If residue is left on the door, it will be washed
off in the next cycle.
An indicator light will turn on to notify you when the
dispenser needs to be filled again. After filling, the light
will not turn off until the door is closed. A full dispenser
will last approximately 1 month for the average user.
NOTE: If you are not using SmartDispense TM and you
want to turn the LOW DETERGENT LED light off, press
the ADDED HEAT pad 5 times within 3 seconds. You will
hear 3 beeps; then the light will go off. You can turn the
light back on by pressing the ADDED HEAT pad 5 times
within 3 seconds.
