Depending on your water hardness, fill the Main Wash section
of the dispenser as shown. Fill the Pre-Wash section to the
level shown, if needed.
NOTE: Fill amounts shown
are for standard powdered
detergent. Follow
instructions on the package
when using other
dishwasher detergent.
Add Rinse Aid
■
Your dishwasher is designed to use rinse aid for good drying
performance. Without rinse aid your dishes and dishwasher
interior will have excessive moisture. The heat dry option will
not perform as well without rinse aid.
■
Rinse aid keeps water from forming droplets that can dry as
spots or streaks. They also improve drying by allowing water to
drain off of the dishes after the final rinse.
■
Rinse aid helps to reduce excess moisture on the dish racks
and interior of your dishwasher.
■
Check the rinse aid indicator. Add rinse aid when indicator
drops to “Refill” level.
■
To add rinse aid, turn the dispenser
cap counterclockwise and lift off. Pour
rinse aid into the opening until the
indicator window looks full. Replace
the dispenser cap and turn clockwise.
Make sure cap is fully locked.
NOTE: For most water conditions, the factory
setting of 2 will give good results. If you have hard
water or notice rings or spots, try a higher setting.
Turn the arrow adjuster inside the dispenser by
either using your fingers or inserting a flat-blade
screwdriver into the center of the arrow and turning.
