Filling the dispenser
1. If the dispenser cover is closed, open the cover by rotating
the cover latch.
2. Fill the Main Wash section with detergent. See the following
section "How much detergent to use."
3. Fill the Pre-Wash section, if needed. (See "Cycle Selection
Charts.")
4. Close the dispenser cover.
The cover will open during the cycle to dispense the
detergent.
How much detergent to use
• The amount of detergent to use depends on the hardness of
your water and the type of detergent. If you use too little,
dishes won't be clean. If you use too much in soft water,
glassware will etch.
• Water hardness can change over a period of time. Find out
your water's hardness by asking your local water department,
water softener company, or county extension agent.

+Turnthe rinse aid dispenser to a higher setting as needed. (See
"Rinse Aid Dispenser" section.) It might be necessary to use the
Hi Temp Wash option for best wash performance in very hard
water.
NOTE: Fill amounts are for standard powdered detergent.
Amounts may vary if you use liquid or concentrated powdered
detergent. Tablet detergents should be placed in the main wash
section of the detergent dispenser with the cover closed. Follow
instructions on the package when using liquid dishwasher
detergent, concentrated powdered detergent or tablet detergent.
IMPORTANT: See "Cycle Selection Charts" for which detergent
dispenser sections to use with each cycle.
IMPORTANT: Your dishwasher is designed to use a liquid rinse
aid. The use of rinse aids greatly improve drying by allowing
water to drain from the dishes during the final rinse. They also
prevent water from forming droplets that can dry as spots or
streaks. Do not use a solid or bar-type rinse aid.
Filling the dispenser
The rinse aid dispenser holds 4.8 oz (145 mL) of rinse aid. Under
normal conditions, this will last for about 1 to 3 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 the left and lift it out.

2. Indicator window
3. Add rinse aid until the indicator window looks full.
4. Clean up any spilled rinse aid with a damp cloth.
5. Replace the dispenser knob.
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.
Hot water dissotves and activates the dishwashing detergent.
Hot water atso dissotves grease on dishes and helps grasses dry
spot-free. For best dishwashing results, water shoutd be 120°F
(49°0) as it enters the dishwasher. Loads may not wash as wel 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.
