Rinse aid greatly improves drying, reduces water

spots, filming, and lubricates wash arm bearings

for proper rotations.  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 refill.

To add liquid rinse aid, turn dispenser cap 1/4 turn

counterclockwise and lift out. Pour in rinse aid until liquid

touches the indicated fill level. Replace cap.

Do not overfill since this can cause oversudsing.

Wipe up any spills with a damp cloth.

The dispenser holds enough for 35 to 140 washes,
depending on setting.

  Adjustable setting

The hot water line to 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 dishwasher should be at least 120°F (49°C)
to give satisfactory results.

To check water temperature entering dishwasher:

• Turn on hot water faucet nearest 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°F (49°C), have a qualified

person raise the hot water heater thermostat setting.

The HEAT DRY option in combination with rinse aid will

enhance drying performance.  The energy required

to use the HEAT DRY option costs pennies per cycle.

You may choose not to select the HEAT DRY option;

however you will have items in your dish load that
will not be completely dry at the end of the cycle.

IMPORTANT

Before starting a cycle, run hot water to clear
