What to Check First

  1. Do you want to know exactly how to use a dedicated detergent for your dishwasher?
  2. The dishwasher sprays water strongly to remove any food left on the dishes. At this time, you need to add detergent in the correct way to avoid bubbles or stains being left on the dishes.
  3. When washing begins, the detergent dispenser lid automatically opens and the detergent falls to the bottom of the tub and dissolves in the water. If, however, any water is left around the detergent dispenser or if you put the detergent in with wet hands, the detergent sticks to the detergent dispenser because of the water even though the lid opens. Before you add the detergent, wipe off any water left in the detergent dispenser and your hands using a dry cloth.
  4. If the lid of the detergent dispenser is not properly closed after you add the detergent, the detergent might leak even before you start washing. After you add the detergent, make sure that you push the lid of the detergent dispenser until it clicks into place.
  5. This guide was created for all models, so the images or content may be different from your product.
