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 hot water heater

thermostat setting.

Important: Before starting a cycle, run hot

water to clear cool water from pipe.
