CLEAN The green light will display and a beep will sound to alert you that the wash cycle is complete. If the door is NOT opened, the beep will sound 4 times.
Using the dishwasher.
Check the Water Temperature
The entering water should be at least 120°F and not more than 150°F for effective cleaning and to prevent dish damage. Check the water temperature with a candy or meat thermometer.
Turn on the hot water faucet nearest the dishwasher, place the thermometer in a glass and let the water run continuously into the glass until the temperature stops rising
Use Cascade Crystal Clear® Rinse Agent
Cascade Crystal Clear® rinse agent removes spots and prevents new film buildup on your dishes, glasses, flatware, cookware and plastic.
Filling the Dispenser
The rinse agent dispenser holds 3.5 oz. of rinse agent. Under normal conditions, this will last approximately one month. Try to keep it full, but do not overfill.
- Make sure the dishwasher door is fully open.
- Turn the dispenser cap to the left and lift it out.
- Add rinse agent until the indicator window looks full.
- Clean up any spilled rinse agent with a damp cloth.
- Replace the dispenser cap.

Rinse Aid Setting
The amount of rinse agent released into the final wash can be adjusted. The factory setting is at the midpoint. If there are rings of calcium (hard water) spots on dishes, try a higher setting. If you observe foam in the final rinse, try a lower setting.
To adjust the setting
Remove the dispenser cap; then turn the adjuster counterclockwise to increase the amount of rinse agent or clockwise to reduce the amount of rinse agent dispensed.
Dish Preparation Prior to Loading
- No prerinsing of normal food soil is required if using Heavy, Normal or Speed wash cycles.
- Scrape off hard soils, bones, toothpicks, skins and seeds.
- Remove large quantities of any remaining food.
- Remove leafy vegetables, meat, trimmings and excessive amounts of grease or oil.
- Remove acidic food soils that can discolor stainless steel.
Proper Use of Detergent
Use only detergent specifically made for use in dishwashers. Cascade® Automatic Dishwashing Detergent has been approved.
Keep your detergent fresh and dry. Don't put detergent into the dispenser until you're ready to wash dishes.
The amount of detergent to use depends on whether your water is hard or soft. With hard water, you need extra detergent. With soft water, you need less detergent.
Protect your dishes and dishwasher by contacting your water department and asking how hard your water is. Twelve or more grains is extremely hard water. A water softener is recommended. Without it, lime can build up in the water valve, which could stick while open and cause flooding. Too much detergent with soft water can cause a permanent cloudiness of glassware, called etching.
Use the information in the table below as a guideline to determine the amount of automatic dishwasher detergent to place in the dispenser.
When using automatic dishwasher detergent tablets, simply place one tablet in the dispenser and close the cover.
Number of Grains | ![]() To open the wash cover, press the button and the cover will flip back. ![]() For heavily-soiled loads, use the HEAVY wash cycle and add a little extra detergent. DO NOT USE HAND DISH DETERGENT ![]() NOTE: Using a detergent that is not specifically designed for dishwashers will cause the dishwasher to fill with suds. During operation, these suds will spill out of the dishwasher vents, covering the kitchen floor and making the floor wet. Because so many detergent containers look alike, store the dishwasher detergent in a separate space from all other cleaners. Show anyone who may use the dishwasher the correct detergent and where it is stored. While there will be no lasting damage to the dishwasher, your dishes will not get clean using a dishwashing detergent that is not formulated to work with dishwashers.
