FACTORS AFFECTING PERFORMANCE
Rinse Aid

reduces water spots. With it water “sheets”
off dishes rather than forming water droplets
that cling and leave spots.
A dispenser, located next to the detergent cup,
automatically releases a measured amount of
rinse aid during the last rinse. If spotting and
poor drying are problems, increase the amount
of rinse aid dispensed by rotating the dial to a
higher number. The dial is located under the
dispenser cap. The indicator will be dark when
full and will show clear when it is time to refi ll.
To add liquid rinse aid, turn dispense cap 1/4
turn counterclockwise and lift out. Pour in
rinse aid until liquid touches the indicated fi ll
level. Replace cap.
Do not overfi ll since this can cause
oversudsing. Wipe up any spills with a damp
cloth.
The dispenser holds enough for 35 to 140
washes, depending on the setting selected.
Water Pressure
The hot water line to the dishwasher must
provide water pressure between 20 and 120
psi.
Low Water pressure may occur when laundry
or showers are in operation. If you experience
poor wash performance you may need to
wait until water use is reduced before starting
dishwasher.
Water Temperature
Hot water is needed for best dishwashing and
drying results. Water entering the dishwasher
should be at least 120
o
F (49
o
C) to give
satisfactory results.
To check the temperature of the water entering
the dishwasher:
•
Turn on the hot water faucet nearest the
dishwasher for several minutes to clear
cool water from pipes.
•
Hold a candy or meat thermometer in the
water stream to check the temperature.
•
If temperature is below 120
o
F (49
o
C),
have a qualifi ed person raise the hot
water heater thermostat setting.
Deselecting the AIR DRY option in
combination with the use of rinse aid will
enhance drying performance. The energy
required when AIR DRY is deselected
costs pennies per cycle. You may choose
to select the AIR DRY option; however
you will have items in your dish load that
will not be completely dry at the end of
the cycle.
