Rinse Agent
A rinse agent causes water to flow off the dishes more quickly,
preventing droplets that dry as spots and improving drying
performance. Rinse agent come in solid and liquid forms. Your
dishwasher’s rinse agent dispenser uses the liquid form. Rinse agent
used with soft water can cause a cloudy film on dishes.
Filling the Rinse Agent Dispenser
Drying will usually be better if you use a rinse agent. To fill the dispenser,
open the cap and pour the rinse agent into the dispenser up to the knob
for dosage setting. The dispenser will hold approximately four ounces of
liquid rinse agent.
Adjusting the Dosage of Rinse Agent
The rinse agent dosage is set by the manufacturer and is dispensed
automatically into the final rinse. If necessary, the rinse agent dosage can
be adjusted by inserting a screwdriver inside the filler hole where the
adjustment device is set on “2.” It is recommended that the dial be
adjusted only one number at a time.
Note:
For soft water conditions, it may be necessary to reduce the
rinse agent dosage setting.
Note:
Too much rinse agent is not advisable as this might result in the
formation of foam, especially if the dishwasher is connected to a cold
water supply.

Operation
Use only a detergent designed for an automatic dishwasher. Never use
oven cleaners or other caustic cleaners not designed for dishwashers.
These will damage the stainless steel interior, filters and pump
components of your dishwasher. Never use soap, laundry detergent or
handwashing detergent in your dishwasher, as they are too mild and
will cause severe over-sudsing. The foam product prevents the
dishwasher from working properly and may cause damage to the
dishwasher.
WARNING: Dishwasher detergent is corrosive. Keep out of
reach of children. If swallowed, drink plenty of water or milk.
DO NOT induce vomiting. Seek medical advice without delay.
If dishwasher detergent gets into eyes, rinse immediately with
plenty of water.
Storing the Detergent
For best results, keep your detergent container tightly closed after each
use, out of reach of children and stored in a cool, dry place.
Storage
under the sink is not advisable for powdered detergent, because this
area is generally too warm and moist to keep detergent fresh.
