Factors affecting performance
Using rinse aid
Rinse aid greatly improves drying and reduces water spots and filming.
Without rinse aid, your dishes and dishwasher interior will have excessive
moisture. In addition, the heated dry option will not perform as well
without rinse aid. The rinse aid dispenser, located next to the detergent
cup, automatically releases a measured amount of rinse aid during the
last rinse.
If spotting and poor drying is a problem, increase the amount of rinse aid
dispensed by rotating the dial to a higher number. The dial is located
under the dispenser cap.
If the rinse aid is low, the rinse aid light turns on at the beginning and end
of the cycle indicating that it is time to refill. Refer to Filling the rinse aid
dispenser on page 21.
Water temperature
Hot water is required for optimum dishwashing and drying results. Water
entering the dishwasher should be at least 120° F (49° C) to achieve
satisfactory results.
To check the water temperature entering the dishwasher:
1 Turn on the hot water faucet near the dishwasher and let it run for
several minutes.
2 Hold a thermometer (a candy or meat thermometer will work) in the
water stream to check the temperature. If temperature is below
120° F (49° C), have a qualified person raise the hot water heater
thermostat setting.
Heat dry option
The heat dry option, when used with a rinse aid, enhances drying
performance. If you do not choose the heat dry option, items in your load
may not be completely dry at the end of the cycle.
Important: To make sure that the water entering the dishwasher is hot, run hot
water from the nearest hot water faucet to clear cool water from the pipe before
starting the cycle.
CAUTION: Plastic dishes could melt/deform due to the heat, especially if placed
in the lower rack.
