Rinse Aid
SLIDE
IMPORTANT: Your dishwasher is designed to use rinse aid. The
use of rinse aid greatly improves drying by allowing water to drain
from the dishes after the final rinse. Rinse aid also keeps water
from forming droplets that can dry as spots or streaks.
Filling the dispenser
Full
Add
The dispenser holds 5 oz (150 mL) of rinse
aid. Under most conditions, this will last
1 to 3 months.
NOTE: Indicator reads correct fill level
when door is completely opened.

OPEN
SLIDE
To add rinse aid, open the
rinse dispenser lid by gently
pushing in the center of the lid
with your thumb and pulling
up on the edge.
2. Pour rinse aid into the
opening until the dispenser
is full. Do not overfill.
3. Clean up any spilled rinse aid.
Spilled rinse aid can create excessive suds.
4. Close the dispenser by pushing down gently on the lid.
Rinse Aid Setting
Your rinse aid dispenser is adjustable. For most
water conditions, the factory setting will give
good results. If you have hard water and notice
calcium buildup on your dishware, you may want
to try a higher setting. If you notice foam in your
dishwasher, use a lower setting.
To adjust the setting:
Turn the arrow adjuster to a higher number
to increase the amount of rinse aid.
STEP 4
Select a Cycle
Efficient dishwashers run longer to save water and energy, just
as driving a car slower saves gas. Cycle times may increase or
decrease, depending on selections. Estimated cycle times after
calibration are listed in the “Cycle and Option Descriptions”
chart in the following section. Select the desired cycle by
pressing the Cycles keypad. Each time you press the Cycles
keypad, it will advance to the next available cycle.
Select Options
See the “Cycle and Option Descriptions” chart in the following
section.
You can customize the cycles by selecting the options desired
and pressing the Start/Resume keypad.
STEP 5
Start or Resume a Cycle
■
If needed, 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.
■
Select the wash cycle and options desired.
To repeat the same cycle and options used
previously, press the START/RESUME
keypad twice. Within 4 seconds of pressing
Start/Resume, you must firmly push the
door closed. If the door is not closed within
4 seconds, the Start/Resume LED will flash
and the cycle will not start.
■
You can add an item at the beginning of the cycle. Open the
door slowly and add the item. Press the START/RESUME
keypad and close the door firmly within 4 seconds. If the
door has been open more than 4 seconds, the LED will flash
and the dishwasher will not resume unless you press Start/
Resume again.
IMPORTANT: If the door has been opened after starting
a cycle (even during the Delay option), Start/Resume must
be pressed again.
