USING THE DISHW
A
SHER
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.
Dispensers
Use a Rinse Agent
Rinse agents, such as
Cascade
®
Platinum 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 3.5 oz. (104 ml) of rinse agent. Under normal conditions, this will last approximately
one month.
1
Make sure the dishwasher door is fully open.
2
Turn the dispenser cap counterclockwise and lift out.
3
Slowly add rinse agent until the cup is full. You may need to pause several times to allow
rinse aid to settle.
4
Clean up any spilled rinse agent with a damp cloth to prevent foam from forming inside
the dishwasher.
5
Replace the dispenser cap.
Rinse Aid Setting
The amount of rinse agent released into the final wash can be adjusted.
The factory setting is at the midpoint. If water drops or hard water spots
remain on dishes after the dry cycle,
increase the setting.
To adjust the setting
Remove the dispenser cap;
Turn the adjuster counterclockwise
to increase the amount of rinse agent,
clockwise to reduce the amount of rinse
agent.
