Check the Water Temperature

The entering water should be at least 120°F (49°C) and
not more than 150°F (66°C) 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.

Use a Rinse Agent

Rinse agents, such as

Finish

Jet-Dry

Rinse Aid

are designed for great drying action and to protect against spots

and film build-up on your dishes, glasses, flatware, cookware, and plastic.

Filling the Rinse Agent Dispenser

The rinse agent dispenser holds 3.9 oz. (115 ml) of rinse agent. Under normal conditions, this will last approximately
one month.

Make sure the dishwasher door is fully open.

Open the dispenser door. (Rinse agent compartment is on the right side of dispenser.)

Slowly add rinse agent until the cup is full. You may need to pause several times to

allow rinse aid to settle.

Clean up any spilled rinse agent with a damp cloth to prevent foam from forming inside

the dishwasher.

Close the dispenser door.
