Good Dishwashing Starts with HOT Water

To get dishes clean and dry, you need hot water. For good washing and drying,

the entering water must be at least 120°F. To prevent dish damage, inlet water should not exceed 150°F.

How to Test Water Temperature

Check your water temperature with a candy or meat thermometer. Turn on the hot water faucet nearest the dishwasher. Put the thermometer in a glass and let the water run continuously into the glass until the temperature stops rising. If the water temperature is below 120°F., adjust your water heater.

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 set 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

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

For best dishwashing performance, use of a rinse agent such as JET-DRY brand is recommended.

Rinse agents come in either liquid or solid form. Your dishwasher uses the liquid form.

How to fill the rinse agent dispenser. Unscrew the cap.

Add liquid rinse agent until it just reaches the bottom of lip inside the dispenser opening.

Replace cap. The dispenser automatically releases rinse agent into final rinse water.

You may check to see if you need to add rinse agent by removing the fill cap and looking into the container. You may also check the rinse agent by pressing the clear center of the fill cap 2 or 3 times. If rinse agent is drawn into the center of the fill cap, you have enough. If the center area remains clear add rinse agent.

Your dishwasher’s rinse agent container holds approximately 41⁄2 ounces. This should last about 3 months. Fill as needed.

If you accidentally spill: Wipe up the rinse

agent with a damp cloth. Don’t leave the spill in the dishwasher. It can keep your detergent from working.

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

BENCKISER CONSUMER PRODUCTS, INC.

(‘‘JET-DRY’’)

Forget to Add a Dish?

Add dishes any time during the RINSE & HOLD cycle. With other wash cycles, you can add dishes at any time BEFORE the main detergent wash portion of the cycle.

However, opening the door during any cycle lessens cleaning power. So try to load everything at the beginning.

Here’s how to add a forgotten dish:

1.Push the door latch to the left. Washing will stop.

2.Wait a few seconds until the water calms. Then open the door. WARNING: Hot vapor may rise from the opened door.

3.Add dishes you’ve forgotten.

4.Close the door and push the latch to the far right. When the door is locked, washing will continue.

NOTE: If you forgot to latch the door a reminder signal will beep until you do so.
