[. . . ] ­ If crystal or delicate glasses will be washed frequently, connect the dishwasher to cold, rather than hot water. 27 Operating the dishwasher Operating the dishwasher Adding detergent Use only powdered detergents or tablets formulated for residential dishwashers. The cover will always be open at the end of a wash program (except "Rinse & Hold"). Generally, filling the dispenser with 1 ½ tablespoons (25 ml) of detergent is enough for a thorough cleaning. If dishes are extra dirty, or if food has dried on the dishes, a program containing a prewash cycle should be selected. Add an extra tablespoon (15 ml) of detergent to compartment I in the center of the dispenser, or place directly on the inner door panel. They can cause burns in the mouth and throat if swallowed, or inhibit breathing. Keep children away from detergent and from the dishwasher when the door is open. To prevent children from coming into contact with dishwasher detergent, do not fill the detergent dispenser until you are ready to run the dishwasher. Capacities: Compartment I (prewash) holds a maximum of 3/4 ounce (20 ml) and Compartment II (main wash) holds a maximum of 2 3/4 ounces (70 ml) when completely filled. The horizontal marks in Compartment II indicate levels of approximately 3/4, 1, and 1 1/4 ounces (20, 25 and 30 ml) respectively. ^ Press the latch on the detergent dispenser. The cover will spring open. ^ Fill the dispenser with 1 ½ tablespoons (25 ml) of powder detergent, or place a detergent tablet into compartment II. 28 Operating the dishwasher Choosing a program Program selection Choose a wash program depending on the type of dishes and the degree of soiling. In most cases the "Light Wash", "Normal" or "Sani Wash" program will give excellent results. Available programs and their applications are listed in the Program Chart. The "Top Solo" feature can be used with each of these programs. For further information on "Top Solo", see "Additional features". "Energy Saver" Program Approximately 0. 20 kWh of electricity is used during this cycle. The dishwasher must be connected to hot water of at least 45 °C/115 °F for this program to clean well. The drying result may not match that of a program with a full drying cycle. The higher the temperature of the incoming water, the better the washing and drying results will be. ^ Opening the door of the dishwasher 2-3 inches (5-6 mm) at the end of the program will speed drying. 29 Operating the dishwasher Turning on the dishwasher ^ Check that the spray arms are not blocked. The "Start" indicator lights (18). Starting a program ^ When selecting a program, refer to the program chart of this booklet. ^ Turn the program selector (17) clockwise or counterclockwise to the desired program. ^ "Top Solo" can be selected now (see "Additional features").
