Rinse Aid Dispenser
A rinseaid prevents water from forming droplets that can
dry as spots or streaks. It also improvesdrying by allowing
water to drain off of the dishes duringthe final rinseby
releasinga small amount of the rinse aid intothe rinse
water. Yourdishwasher isdesigned to use a liquid rinse
aid. Do not usea solid or bar-type rinseaid.
Rinse aid setting
The amountof rinseaid releasedintothe finalwash can be
adjusted. The factory setting isat 2. For most water
conditions set the adjuster to 1 or 2. Ifthere are ringsor
calcium (hardwater) spots on dishes, try a higher setting.
To adjust the setting
Remove the dispenser knob, then turn the adjuster inside
the dispenserto the desired setting.
Dishwasher EfficiencyTips
Hot water dissolves and activate• the dishwashing
detergent. Hot water also dissolves grease on dishesand
helps glassesdry spot-free. For bastdishwashing results,
water must be at least 120°F (49°(3)as itenters the
dishwasher. Load• may not wash as well if the water
temperature istoo low.
To check water temperature
1. Run hot water at the faucet closest to your dishwasher
for at least I minute.
2. Measure the water temperature with a candy or meat
thermometer placed in the runningstream of water.
Filling the dispenser

aid. Under normal conditions, this will lastfor about three
months. You do not have to wait untilthe dispenser is
empty to refillit. Try to keep itfull, but be careful not to
overfillit.

4. Clean up any spilled rinseaid with a damp cloth.
5. Replace the dispenser knob and turn itto CLOSED.
3. Ifthe water temperature at the faucet is below 120°F
(49°C), have a qualified person raise the water heater's

• Use a low energy,quick, or shortcycle whenever
possible. These cycles use lesshot water and energy
than the Normal wash cycle.
Use a delay feature (on some models)to run your
dishwasher during off-peak hours. Local utilities
recommend avoiding heavy usage of energy at certain
times ofday.
• Duringthe summer,run your dishwasher at night to
reduce daytime heat buildup.
• Use an air dry, or an energysaving dry option whenever
possible. Allow longer drying times (overnight) when
using these options. Use a rinse aid to improve drying.
