Clean up any rinse aid spilt during
filling with an absorbent cloth to
avoid excess foaming during the
next wash. 
Only use branded rinse aid for
dishwashers. 
Never fill the rinse aid dispenser
with any other substances (e.g.
dishwasher cleaning agent, liquid
detergent). This would damage the
appliance.
