Filling the Dispenser
The rinse agent dispenser holds 99.4 ml of rinse agent. Under normal conditions,
this will last approximately one month. Try to keep it full, but do not overfill.

Clean up any spilled rinse agent with a damp cloth.

Rinse Aid Setting
The amount of rinse agent released into the final wash can be adjusted.
The factory setting is at the midpoint. If there are rings of calcium
(hard water) spots on dishes, try a higher setting. If you observe foam
in the final rinse, try a lower setting.
To adjust the setting
Remove the dispenser cap; then turn the adjuster counterclockwise
to increase the amount of rinse agent or clockwise to reduce the amount
of rinse agent dispensed.
Check the Water Temperature
The entering water should be at least 49°C (120°F)
and not more than 65°F (150°F) for effective
cleaning and to prevent dish damage. Check
the water temperature with a candy or meat
thermometer. Turn on the hot water faucet nearest
the dishwasher, place the thermometer in a glass
and let the water run continuously into the glass
until the temperature stops rising.
