The cup marks are 15 mL and 25 mL, with 45 mL at full capacity. If water hardness is unknown, the manual starts at 15 mL and increases only as needed; Rinse uses no detergent. These cup amounts are not tablet doses.

When to stop
- Stop using the dishwasher for smoke, a burning smell, damaged wiring, an active leak or water near electrical equipment. Isolate power and water only from a safe, dry, accessible location; otherwise keep clear and request qualified help.
- Do not remove the pump cover, reach into the pump, open electrical panels, bypass the door interlock or move the installed dishwasher. Refer plumbing connections, installation and repairs to qualified service.
- Stop if a part is cracked, jammed, sharp, insecure or different from the matching manual. Do not force a fitting or touch hot water. Never mix cleaning products.
