Operating Your Dishwasher
Filling the Rinse Agent
Dispenser
important
•Rinse agent is important to the drying process of the dishware. It also reduces spotting. Dacor recommends that you keep the rinse agent dispenser full at all times. However, some customers with soft water may not need rinse agent. If you have soft water, your dishes may dry better without rinse agent.
•If you use a dishwashing detergent containing a rinse agent additive, do not fill the rinse agent dispenser to avoid a film on the dishes.
•When the rinse aid dispenser needs to be refilled, this symbol appears on the display.
•The rinse agent dispenser must be properly adjusted. Too little rinse agent will allow spotting and drying problems. Too much rinse agent will cause foaming and streaking.
•When the water hardness exceeds 3 gpg, you should use rinse agent with citric acid (acid rinse agent).
To refill the rinse agent dispenser:
1.Press the (right) release button to open the rinse agent compartment lid.

2.Carefully pour the rinse agent into the filler hole until the rinse agent
level is even with the end of the MAX arrow inside. Do
not overfill.
3. Wipe up any spillage.
4. Close the rinse agent compartment lid firmly.
NOTE: After filling the rinse agent dispenser, it may take a few washes before the rinse agent indicator on the display goes off.
Changing the Amount of Rinse Agent Dispensed
See page 12 for instructions to change the amount of rise agent dispensed.
When to increase the amount dispensed:
•When the dishes have water marks.
When to decrease the amount dispensed:
•When the dishes have a sticky white/blue film.
•When the dishes are streaked.
•If heavy foaming occurs.
NOTE: If you have very soft water and still experience streaking when the dispenser is set to 1, you can dilute the rinse agent with water up to a 50:50 mix before pouring it into the dispenser to get acceptable results.
