Rinse Aid
Rinse aid greatly improves drying and reduces water spots and filming. Water “sheets” off dishes rather than forming water droplets that cling and leave spots.
A dispenser, located next to the detergent cup, automatically releases a measured amount of rinse aid during the last rinse. If spotting and poor drying are problems, increase the amount of rinse aid dispensed by rotating the dial to a higher number. The dial is located under the dispenser cap. The indicator will be dark when full and will show clear when it is time to refill.
To add liquid rinse aid, turn dispenser cap 1/4 turn counterclockwise and lift out. Pour in rinse aid until liquid touches the indicated fill level.
Replace cap.
Do not overfill since this can cause oversudsing. Wipe up any spills with a damp cloth.
The dispenser holds enough for 35 to 140 washes, depending on setting.

Factors Affecting Performance
Water Temperature
Hot water is needed for best dishwashing and drying results. Water entering dishwasher should be 120°F to give satisfactory results. Improved performance may be obtained by raising water temperature to 140°F. Water temperature should not exceed 160°F. Check your water heater for proper temperature.
To check water temperature entering dishwasher, turn on hot water faucet nearest dishwasher for several minutes to clear cool water from water pipes. Place a glass under faucet and use a candy or meat thermometer to check temperature of the water collected.
If temperature is below 120°F (49°C), have a qualified person raise the hot water heater thermostat setting.
Do not operate the dishwasher during or just after other heavy use of hot water, such as laundry or bathing.
Important: Before starting a cycle, run hot water through faucet to clear cool water from pipe.
