DETERGENT AND RINSE AID
IMPORTANT:
Extremely
hard water
mineral deposits
(15 grains per U.S. gallon or more) can cause damage
to your
dishwasher
and make it difficult
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.
IMPORTANT:
Use only automatic
dishwashing
detergent.
Hand dishwashing
detergent
will produce excessive suds and
overflow
out of the dishwasher.

Premeasured
Detergents
Many
detergents
now come in premeasured
forms (gel
packs, tablets, or powder
packs). These forms are suitable for
all hardness and soil levels. Always
place premeasured
detergents
in the main compartment
and close the lid.
Using dishwasher
detergent
tablets
and packs have been
proven better than powder,
liquid or gel detergents
to reduce
filming
on your dishes. By using these tablets
and packs, over
time this will start to reduce or eliminate
white film. Also, by
using a rinse aid you can minimize
repeat buildup
of white
film.

IMPORTANT:
Your dishwasher
is designed
to use a liquid
rinse aid. The use of rinse aids greatly
improves
drying by
allowing
water to drain from the dishes after the final rinse.
They also keep 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 1 to 3 months.
1.
Turn the knob
to the REFILL position
and
remove.
2.
Pour rinse aid
into the opening
until the indicator
points
to
FULL. Do not overfill.
3. Clean up any spilled rinse aid. Spilled
rinse aid can
create excessive suds.
4.
Replace the knob and turn to the LOCI< position.
NOTE: Indicator
reads correct
fill level when door is
completely
opened.
Rinse Aid Setting
Your rinse aid dispenser is adjustable.
For most water
conditions,
the factory
setting of 3 will give good results. If
you have hard water
and notice calcium
buildup
(water
spots) on your dishware,
you may want to try a higher setting.
If you notice foam in your dishwasher,
use a lower setting.
