Good 

 

with HOT water

To get dishes clean and dry you need
hot water. To help you get water of
the proper temperature, your
dishwasher has a WASH HEAT
BOOST feature. When selected (see
page 4), this water heating feature
allows you to turn down your
household water heater and save
energy if you’re willing to let the
dishwasher run a little longer while it
heats water. For good washing and
drying, the entering water must be
between 

 and 

 To prevent

dish damage, inlet water 

 not

exceed 

How to test water temperature:

Check the water temperature inside
your dishwasher with a candy or
meat thermometer.

Let the dishwasher run through one
fill and pump out cycle, then 

 the

dishwasher fill with water the
second time, approximately 5
minutes after starting the machine.

When you hear the water stop
filling, unlatch the door and slowly
open it.

Measure the temperature of the
water in the bottom of the tub this

Remove the silverware basket and
place a candy or meat thermometer
in the water towards the middle of
the tub. If the temperature is less

than 

 you will not get good

washing results. Raise your water
heater temperature, wait 30 minutes
and test again. Higher water
temperature is needed to dissolve
grease and activate powder
detergents. If the water temperature
is less than 

 use the WASH

HEAT BOOST Option (see page 4).

Helpful hints: If outside
temperatures are unusually low, or
if your water travels a long distance
from water heater to dishwasher,
you may need to 

 your water

heater’s thermostat up. If you have
not used hot water for some time,
the water in the pipes will be cold.
Turn on the hot water faucet at the
sink and allow it to run until the
water is hot. Then start the
dishwasher. If you’ve recently done
laundry or run hot water for
showers, give your water heater
time to recover before operating the

dishwasher.

How to use a Rinse Agent

A rinse agent makes water flow off
dishes quicker than usual. This
lessens water spotting and makes
drying faster, too.

For best 

 performance,

use of a rinse agent such as JET-
DRY brand is recommended.

Rinse agents come in either liquid
or solid form. Your dishwasher’s

dispenser uses the liquid form.

How to fill the rinse agent
dispenser. Unscrew the cap. Add
the liquid rinse agent until it just
reaches the bottom of the lip inside
the dispenser opening. Replace the
cap. The dispenser automatically
releases the rinse agent into the
final rinse water.

If you accidentally spill: Wipe up
the rinse agent with a damp cloth.
Don’t 

 the spill in the

dishwasher. It can keep your
detergent from working.

If you can’t find any rinse agent,
write:

 CONSUMER

Your dishwasher’s rinse agent

container holds 

 ounces. This

should last about 3 months. Fill as
needed. Do not overfill.

How to choose and use
detergent

First, use only powder or liquid
detergents specifically made for
use in dishwashers. Other types
will cause 

Second, check the phosphate
content. Phosphate helps prevent
hard-water materials from forming

spots or film on your dishes. If your
water is hard (7 grains or more),

your detergent has to work harder.
Detergents with a higher phosphate

 will probably work better. 

the phosphate content is 

 

or less), 

 have to use extra

detergent with hard water.

Your water department can tell
you how hard your water is. So
can your county extension agent
or your area’s water softener
company. Just call and ask them
how many “grains of hardness”
there are in your water.

How much detergent should you
use? That depends. Is your water

“hard” or “soft”? With hard water,

you need extra detergent to get
dishes clean. With soft water, you
need 

 detergent.

Too much detergent with soft water
not only wastes money, it can be
harmful. It can cause a permanent
cloudiness of glassware, called

“etching.” An outside layer of glass

is etched away! Of course, this takes
some time. But why take a chance
when it’s easy to find out the

hardness of your water.

Keep your detergent fresh and
dry. Under the sink isn’t a good
place to store detergent. Too much
moisture. Don’t put powder
detergent into the dispenser until
you’re ready to wash dishes, either.
(It won’t be fresh OR dry.)

If your powder detergent gets old
or lumpy, throw it away. It won’t
wash well. Old detergent often
won’t dissolve.

If you use a liquid dishwasher

detergent, these precautions are not
necessary because 

 detergents

don’t “lump” as they age or come
in contact with water.
