Rinse aids prevent water from forming droplets that can dry as
spots or streaks. They also improve drying by allowing water to
drain off of the dishes during the final rinse by releasing a small
amount of the rinse aid into the rinse water. Your dishwasher is
designed to use a liquid rinse aid. Do not use a solid or bar-type.
Filling the dispenser
The rinse aid dispenser holds 4.8 oz (145 mL) of rinse aid. Under
normal conditions, this will last for about three months. You do
not have to wait until the dispenser is empty to refill it. Try to keep
it full, but be careful net to overfill it.
1. Make sure the dishwasher door is fully open.
2. Turn the dispenser knob to the left and lift it out.
O
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 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 cerfain 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.
To check water temperature
1. Run hot water at the faucet closest to your dishwasher for at
least 1 minute.
2.
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.

To save water, energy and time, do not rinse dishes before
putting them into the dishwasher.
Use a delay feature (on some models) to run your dishwasher
during off-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 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.
If your home is equipped with a water softener, you may want
to avoid starting the dishwasher during the regeneration of
the softener, as this may contribute to poor wash
performance.
