Use a Rinse Agent

A rinse agent improves dry performance, reduces spots and prevents new film buildup on your dishes, glasses, flatware, cookware and plastic.

Fill the rinse agent chamber by rotating the round cap counterclockwise and remove. Fill chamber to maximum level. Replace and lock the cap into place.

To check if rinse agent is needed: a solid black indicator indicates sufficient rinse agent; a clear indicator indicates a low level and requires adding more rinse agent.

• A full dispenser should last about one month.

•If rinse agent spills, wipe it up immediately. It can keep your detergent from working.

•If after washing you notice cloudy spots, streaks or water marks on the glassware, and the rinse agent dispenser is not empty, it may be necessary to increase the dispenser settings. To do so, remove the cap and using a butter knife, rotate the indicator arrow to a higher number. Replace the cap when done.

•If glasses appear smeared or there is foam present on the bottom of the glasses or the bottom of the machine, select a lower dosage number.

•For softened water, reduce dispenser setting.

Detergents

Use only detergent specifically made for use in dishwashers. Keep your powdered detergent fresh and dry. Don’t put powder detergent into the dispenser until you’re ready to wash dishes.

The amount of detergent to use depends on whether your water is hard or soft. With hard water, you need extra detergent. With soft water, you need less detergent.

Protect your dishes and Chef’s Washer by contacting your water department and asking how hard your water is. Twelve or more grains is extremely hard water. A water softener is recommended. Without it, lime can build up in the water valve, which could stick while open and cause flooding. Too much detergent with soft water can cause a permanent cloudiness of glassware, called etching.

To open the detergent compartment, push the lever latch inward.

When using automatic dishwashing detergent tabs, place one tab in the main cup and close.

Be sure the Cycle Status Indicators (on some models) are not lit before adding detergent. Otherwise, the detergent cup will not close and latch properly. Add detergent, then close the main cup.

NOTE: To open detergent cup after it has been closed, push the lever latch inward.
