Checking the dispenser
Check the center of the fill indicator cap. Clear means it
needs filling.
OR
Or you can remove the fill indicator cap. If an "E" is visible,
the dispenser is empty.
Filling the dispenser
The rinse aid dispenser holds 6 oz (175 mL) of rinse aid.
Under normal conditions, this will last for about 3 months.
You do not have to wait until the dispenser is empty to refill
it. Try to keep it full, but be sure not to overfill it.
1. Make sure the dishwasher door is completely open.
2. Remove the fill indicator cap.
3. Add rinse aid. Fill to the smallest opening in the lower
part of the dispenser. Overfilling can cause the rinse aid
to leak out, and could cause oversudsing.
4. Clean up any spilled rinse aid with a damp cloth.
5. Replace the fill indicator cap. Close tightly.
Hot water dissolves and activates the dishwashing
detergent. Hot water also dissolves grease on dishes and
helps glasses dry spot-free. For best dishwashing results,
water should be 120°F (49°C) as it enters the dishwasher.
Loads may not wash as well if the water temperature is too
low. Water that is too hot can make some soils harder to
remove and cause certain detergent ingredients not to
function. If your water heater is located far from the
dishwasher, it may be necessary to run the hot water at the
faucet closest to the dishwasher to minimize the amount of
cold water in the water line.
To check water temperature
1. Run hot water at the faucet closest to your dishwasher
for at least 1 minute.
2. Place a candy or meat thermometer in a glass
measuring cup.
3. Check the temperature on the thermometer as the
water is running into the cup.
Additional efficiency tips
• To save water, energy and time, do not rinse dishes
before putting them into the dishwasher.
• Use a delay feature to run your dishwasher during off-
peak hours. Local utilities recommend avoiding heavy
usage of energy at certain times of day.
During the summer, run your dishwasher at night. This
reduces daytime heat buildup in the kitchen.
Use a rinse aid to improve drying.
Use cycles or options that add extra heat to the wash
or rinse portion of the cycle only when needed.
If your home is equipped with a water softener, you
may want to avoid starting the dishwasher during the
regeneration of the softener, since this may contribute
to poor wash performance.
