Dishwasher
Dispenser &
Detergents 

(continued)

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.

Factors Affecting
Performance

Water Pressure

The hot water line to dishwasher must provide
water pressure between 20 and 120 psi.
Low water pressure may occur when laundry or
showers are in operation. Wait until water use is
reduced before starting dishwasher.

Water Temperature

Hot water is needed for best dishwashing and
drying results. Water entering dishwasher
should be at least 120°F (49°C) to give
satisfactory results.

To check water temperature entering
dishwasher:
• Turn on hot water faucet nearest

dishwasher for several minutes to clear cool
water from pipes.

• Hold a candy or meat thermometer in stream

of water to check the temperature.

• If temperature is below 120°F (49°C), have a

qualified person raise the thermostat setting.

Important: Before starting a cycle, run hot
water to clear cool water from pipe.
