NOTE: Fill amounts shown are for standard powdered detergent. Amounts may vary if you use liquid or concentrated powdered detergent. Tablet detergents should be placed in the main wash section of the detergent dispenser with the cover closed. Follow

instructions on the package when using liquid dishwasher detergent, concentrated powdered detergent or tablet detergent.

IMPORTANT: Your dishwasher is designed to use a liquid rinse aid. The use of rinse aids greatly improves drying by allowing water to drain from the dishes after the final rinse. They also prevent water from forming droplets that can dry as spots or streaks. Do not use a solid or bar-type rinse aid.

Filling the dispenser

The rinse aid dispenser holds 5 oz (150 mL) of rinse aid. Under normal conditions, this will last for about 1 to 3 months.

1.Make sure the dishwasher door is fully open.

2.Turn the dispenser knob to "Open" and lift it out.

4.Clean up any spilled rinse aid with a damp cloth.

5.Place the knob back into the opening and turn to the "Lock" position.

Rinse aid setting

The amount of rinse aid released into the final rinse can be adjusted. For most water conditions, the factory setting of 2 will give good results. If you have hard water or notice rings or calcium spots on your glasses or dishes, try a higher setting.
