Water pressure should be between 20 and 120
pounds per square inch. Low water pressure
occurs most often during periods of high water
consumption, such as when laundry or showers
are being done. To determine if you have enough
water pressure, put a 2 quart container under fully
opened hot water faucet nearest the dishwasher.
It should fill in less than 14 seconds. Be sure all
other faucets are turned off during test.

Hot water is needed for best dishwashing and
drying results. Water entering dishwasher should
be 120°F to give satisfactory results. Improved
performance may be obtained by raising water
temperature to 140°F. Water temperature should
not exceed 160°F. Check your water heater for
proper temperature.
To check water temperature entering dishwasher,
turn on hot water faucet nearest dishwasher for
several minutes to clear cool water from water
pipes. Place a glass under faucet and use a candy
or meat thermometer to check temperature of the
water collected.
If temperature is below 120°F (49°C), have a
qualified person raise the hot water heater
thermostat setting.
Do not operate the dishwasher during or just after
other heavy use of hot water, such as laundry or
bathing.
Important: Before starting a cycle, run hot
water through faucet to clear cool water from
pipe.

Rinse Aid Rinse Aid Rinse Aid
Rinse aid greatly improves drying and
reduces water spots and filming. 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.
