Rinse Aid Dispenser
A rinse aid prevents water from forming droplets that can
dry as spots or streaks. It also improves drying by allowing
water to drain off of the dishes during the final rinse by
releasing a small amount of the rinse aid into the rinse
water. Your dishwasher isdesigned to use a liquid rinse
aid. Do not use a solid or bar-type rinse aid.
Filling the dispenser
The rinseaid dispenser holds 5.2 oz (153,7 mL) of rinse
aid. Under normal conditions, this will last for about three
months. You do not have to wait until the dispenser is
empty to refill it. Try to keep it full, but be careful not to
overfill it.
1. Make sure the dishwasher door is fully open.
2. Turn the dispenser knob to OPEN and lift it out.
3. Add rinse aid until the indicator window looks full.
4. Clean up any spilled rinse aid with a clamp cloth.
5. Replace the dispenser knob and turn it to CLOSED.
Rinse aid setting
The amount of rinse aid released into the final wash can be
adjusted. The factory setting is at 2. For most water
conditions set the adjuster to 1 or 2. If there are rings or
calcium (hard water) spots on dishes, try a higher setting.
To adjust the setting
Remove the dispenser knob, then turn the adjuster inside
the dispenser to the desired setting.
Dishwasher Efficiency Tips
Hot water dissolves and activates the dishwashing
detergent. Hot water also dissolvesgrease on dishes and
helps glasses dry spot-free. For best dishwashingresults,
water must be at least 120°F (49°C) as it enters the
dishwasher. Loads may not wash as well ifthe water
temperature istoo low.
To check water temperature
1. Run hot water at the faucet closestto yourdishwasher
for at least 1 minute.
2. Measure the water temperature with a candy or meat
thermometer placed in the runningstream of water.
3,
If the water temperature at the faucet is below 120°F
(49°C), have a qualified person raise the water heater's
thermostat setting.
Use a low energy, quick, or shortcycle whenever
possible. These cycles use tesshot water and energy
than the Normal wash cycle.
Use a delay feature (on some models) to run your
dishwasher during off-peek hours. Local utilities
recommend avoiding heavy usage of energy at certain
times of day,
During the summer,run your dishwasher at night to
reduce daytime heat buildup.
