Rinse Aid Dispenser

IMPORTANT: Your dishwasher is designed to use a liquid rinse 
aid. The use of rinse aids greatly improves drying by allowing 
water to drain from the dishes after the final rinse. They also keep 
water from forming droplets that can dry as spots or streaks. Do 
not use a solid or bar-type rinse aid.

Filling the dispenser

The rinse aid dispenser holds 5 oz (150 mL) of rinse aid. Under 
normal conditions, this will last for about 1 to 3 months. 

1. Make sure the dishwasher door is fully open.

2. Turn the dispenser knob to “Open” and lift it out.

3. Pour rinse aid into the opening until the indicator points to 

“Full.” Take care not to overfill. (When the rinse aid indicator 
drops to the “Add” level, add more rinse aid.)

4. Clean up any spilled rinse aid with a damp cloth.

5. Place the knob back into the opening and turn to the “Lock” 

position. 

Rinse aid setting

The amount of rinse aid released into the final rinse can be 
adjusted. For most water conditions, the factory setting of 2 will 
give good results. If you have hard water or notice rings or 
calcium spots on your glasses or dishes, try a higher setting.

To adjust the setting

1. Remove the dispenser knob. 

2. Turn the arrow adjuster inside the dispenser to the desired 

setting by either using your fingers or inserting a flat-blade 
screwdriver into the center of the arrow and turning.

3. Replace the dispenser knob.

Dishwasher Efficiency Tips

Hot water dissolves and activates the dishwashing detergent. 
Hot water also dissolves grease on dishes and helps glasses dry 
spot-free. For best dishwashing results, water should be 120°F 
(49°C) as it enters the dishwasher. Loads may not wash as well if 
the water temperature is too low. Water that is too hot can make 
some soils harder to remove and cause certain detergent 
ingredients not to function. If your water heater is located far from 
the dishwasher, it may be necessary to run the hot water at the 
faucet closest to the dishwasher to minimize the amount of cold 
water in the water line.

To check water temperature

1. Run hot water at the faucet closest to your dishwasher for at 

least 1 minute.

2. Place a candy or meat thermometer in a glass measuring 

cup.
