RINSE AID DISPENSER

The rinse aid is released during the final rinse to prevent water from forming droplets on your dishes that can leave spots and streaks. It also improves drying by allowing water to “sheet” off the dishes.

ASKO dishwashers are designed to use liquid rinse aids. The rinse aid dispenser is located inside the door next to the detergent dispenser. (See illustration on page 3.) To fill the dispenser, open the cap and pour the rinse aid into the dispenser until the level indicator turns completely black. The dispenser holds about four ounces of liquid rinse aid.

Be careful not to overfill the dispenser, because this could cause oversudsing. Wipe away any spills with a damp cloth. Don’t forget to replace the cap before you close the dishwasher door.

If you have soft water, rinse aid may cause a white film to develop on your dishes. You may not need rinse aid.

NOTE: If you use a dishwashing detergent with a rinse aid additive, you should not fill the rinse aid dispenser. This could cause a film on your dishes.

ADJUSTING THE AMOUNT OF RINSE AID DISPENSED

A measured amount of rinse aid is released during the final rinse. As with detergent, the amount of rinse aid needed for your dishes depends on the hardness of the water in your area. (See page 5.) Too much rinse aid can result in lather or foaming and cause cloudiness or streaks on your dishes. If the water in your area is very soft, you may not need rinse aid. If you do, you can dilute the rinse aid with an equal amount of water.

The rinse aid dispenser has six settings. Always start with the dispenser set on “1.” If spots and poor drying are problems, increase the amount of rinse aid dispensed by removing the dispenser lid and rotating the dial to ”2.” If the dishes still aren’t drying properly or are spotted, adjust the dial to the next higher number until your dishes are spot-free.

NOTE: Only adjust the dial one number at a time.

WHEN TO REFILL THE RINSE AID DISPENSER

The black dot on the rinse aid dispenser indicates the amount of rinse aid in the dispenser. As the rinse aid diminishes, the size of the black dot decreases. You should never let the rinse aid get below 1/4 full.
