STEP 2
Add Detergent
Hinged lid style
Premeasured Detergents
High-quality premeasured tablets and packs are recommended for
improved performance.
Quality tablets and packs have been proven better than powder,
liquid, or gel detergents at reducing lming on dishes. Using tablets
and packs over time will start to reduce or eliminate white lm.
They are suitable for all hardness and soil levels. Also, by using
a rinse aid, you can minimize repeat buildup of white lm (not all
packs and tablets contain rinse aid). Always place premeasured
detergents in main compartment and close the lid.
NOTE: Follow instructions on the package when using other
dishwasher detergent types.
■ Use automatic dishwasher detergent only. Add detergent
just before starting a cycle.
■ Fresh automatic dishwasher detergent results in better
cleaning. Store tightly closed detergent container in a cool
dry place.

IMPORTANT: Extremely hard water mineral deposits (15 grains
per U.S. gallon or more) can cause damage to your dishwasher
and make it difcult to achieve good results. A water softener is
recommended to avoid damage and achieve good results. You
may bring your water samples to Sears to check hardness level.
NOTE: Follow instructions on the package when using other
dishwasher detergent types.
STEP 3
Add Rinse Aid
Hinged lid style
IMPORTANT: Your dishwasher is designed to use rinse aid.
The use of rinse aid greatly improves drying by allowing water to
drain from the dishes after the nal rinse. Rinse aid also keeps
water from forming droplets that can dry as spots or streaks.
Filling the dispenser
The dispenser holds 5 oz (150 mL) of rinse
aid. Under most conditions, this will last
one to three months.
NOTE: Indicator reads correct ll level
when door is completely opened.
Add rinse aid to hinged lid
style dispenser by twisting
the dispenser cap ¼ turn
clockwise to open and lift
off. Pour rinse aid into the
opening until the indicator
level is at “Full.” Replace the
dispenser cap and turn to
“Lock.” Make sure cap is
fully locked.
Rinse Aid Setting
Your rinse aid dispenser is adjustable. For most water conditions,
the factory setting will give good results. If you have hard water
and notice calcium buildup on your dishwasher, you may want to
try a higher setting. If you notice foam in your dishwasher, use a
lower setting.
To adjust the setting:
Turn the arrow adjuster to a higher number to increase the
amount of rinse aid.
