Filling the dispenser
The rinse aid dispenser holds 5 oz (150 mL) of rinse aid. Under
normal conditions, this will last for about 1 to 3 months.
1. Make sure the dishwasher door is fully open.
2. Turn the dispenser knob to "Open" and lift it out.

4. Clean up any spilled rinse aid with a damp cloth.
5. Place the knob back into the opening and turn to the "Lock"
position.
Rinse aid setting
The amount of rinse aid released into the final rinse can be
adjusted. For most water conditions, the factory setting of 2 will
give good results. If you have hard water or notice rings or
calcium spots on your glasses or dishes, try a higher setting.

To adjust the setting
1. Remove the dispenser knob.
2. Turn the arrow adjuster inside the dispenser to the desired
setting by either using your fingers or inserting a flat-blade
screwdriver into the center of the arrow and turning.
3. Replace the dispenser knob.
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. The benefits of minimizing the amount of
cold water in the water line cannot be achieved if the Delay Wash
option is chosen.

2.
Run hot water at the faucet closest to your dishwasher for at
least 1 minute.
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 and energy and time, do not rinse dishes
before putting them into the dishwasher.
• Use a low energy, quick, or short cycle whenever possible.
These cycles use less hot water and energy than a normal
cycle.
• Use a delay feature (on some models) to run your dishwasher
during oft-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 the energy-saving dry option whenever possible. Allow
longer drying times (overnight) when using these options. 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.
• Run your dishwasher with full loads. Run a rinse cycle after
meals until the dishwasher is full.
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.
