detergents. Premeasured forms are suitable for all hardness and
soil levels. Always place premeasured detergents in the main
compartment and close the lid.
Add Rinse Aid (dispenser varies by model)
■
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. It also improves 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.
Select a Cycle (varies by model)
See “Cycle and Option Descriptions” charts in the following
section.
Heavier cycles and options affect cycle length.
Select Options (varies by model)
See “Cycle and Option Descriptions” charts in the following section.
You can customize your cycles by pressing the options desired.
Start or Resume a Cycle
■
Run hot water at the sink nearest your dishwasher until the
water is hot. Turn off water. For best dishwashing results, water
should be 120ºF (49ºC) as it enters the dishwasher.
■
For models with controls on top of
the door, select wash cycle, option
and press START/RESUME before
closing the door. Push door firmly
closed. The door latches
automatically. Select the wash
cycle, options and press START/
RESUME, or press START/RESUME to repeat the same cycle
and options as in the previous wash cycle.
■
You can add an item anytime at the beginning of the cycle.
Open the door slowly and add the item. Close the door firmly.
Press START/RESUME.
■
Check the rinse aid indicator with the door down (varies by
model). Add rinse aid when indicator drops to “Add” level.
■
Add rinse aid to hinged lid
style dispenser by twisting
the dispenser cap ¼ turn
clockwise to open and lift off.
Pour rinse aid into the
opening until the indicator
level is at “Full.” Replace the
dispenser cap and turn to
“Lock.” Make sure cap is
fully locked.
¼ turn clockwise to lock
■
To add rinse aid to sliding lid
style dispenser, open the
rinse dispenser lid by gently
pushing in the center of the
lid with your thumb and
pulling up on the edge. Pour
rinse aid into the opening
until the dispenser is full.
Then, close the dispenser
by pushing down gently
on the lid.

NOTE:
For most water conditions, the factory setting 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.
Higher numbers dispense more rinse aid. You should change this
setting only a little at a time and then run a few cycles before
changing it again because just enough rinse aid is more effective
than too much.
