& Detergents (continued)

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 Pressure

The hot water line to dishwasher must provide water pressure between 20 and 120 psi.

Low water pressure may occur when laundry or showers are in operation. Wait until water use is reduced before starting dishwasher.

Water Temperature

Hot water is needed for best dishwashing and drying results. Water entering dishwasher should be 120°F (49°C) to give satisfactory results.

To check water temperature entering dishwasher:

•Turn on hot water faucet nearest dishwasher for several minutes to clear cool water from pipes.

•Hold a candy or meat thermometer in stream of water to check the temperature.

•If temperature is below 120°F (49°C), have a qualified person raise the hot water heater thermostat setting.

Important: Before starting a cycle, run hot water

to clear cool water from pipe.

The Kenmore 587.14202 and 587.14209 are two top-tier models in Kenmore's impressive lineup of dishwashers, known for their high efficiency, reliability, and user-friendly features. These dishwashers are designed to cater to a variety of household needs, making them ideal for families or individuals who prioritize cleanliness and convenience in their kitchen routines.

One of the standout features of the Kenmore 587 models is their SmartWash technology. This innovative system uses dual clean sensors to detect the level of soil on the dishes, adjusting the cycle duration and intensity accordingly. This not only ensures optimal cleaning performance but also conserves water and energy, making it a more eco-friendly choice.

Another notable characteristic is the Ultra Wash system, which provides exceptional cleaning power through its multi-level spray arms. These spray arms create a powerful cascade of water that reaches even the most stubborn residue on pots, pans, and dishes. This technology guarantees a thorough clean, reducing the need for pre-rinsing.

The interior design of the 587 models is another highlight. With a spacious tub, these dishwashers can easily accommodate large loads, featuring adjustable racks and fold-down tines that offer flexible loading options for various types of dishware. This adaptability is crucial for families that frequently wash everything from delicate glassware to heavy-duty cookware.

Noise levels are a significant concern for many homeowners, and the Kenmore 587 series addresses this with its quiet operation. The models boast a sound rating of around 48 dBA, which is quieter than a typical conversation. This reduced noise level allows for a more pleasant kitchen environment, even when the dishwasher is running.

In addition, both models come equipped with a variety of wash cycles, including heavy, normal, and eco settings. The eco setting is particularly valuable for those looking to minimize their environmental impact while still achieving thorough cleaning results.

Lastly, the sleek design and stainless-steel finish add an elegant touch to any kitchen decor. With easy-to-use controls and a digital display, these dishwashers provide a seamless user experience.

In summary, the Kenmore 587.14202 and 587.14209 combine smart cleaning technology, efficient operation, and user-friendly features, making them excellent choices for anyone seeking an effective and stylish dishwasher solution.
