Premeasured Detergents

Many detergents now come in premeasured forms (gel packs, tablets, or powder packs). These forms are suitable for all hardness and soil levels. Always place premeasured detergents in the main compartment and close the lid.

Using dishwasher detergent tablets and packs have been proven better than powder, liquid or gel detergents to reduce filming on your dishes. By using these tablets and packs, over time this will start to reduce or eliminate white film. Also, by using a rinse aid you can minimize repeat buildup of white film.

IMPORTANT: Extremely hard water mineral deposits

(15 grains per U.S. gallon or more) can cause damage to your dishwasher and make it difficult to achieve good results. A water softener is recommended to avoid damage and achieve good results. You may bring your water samples to Sears to check hardness level.

BETTER DRYING

Refill

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 keep water from forming droplets that can dry as spots or streaks.

Filling the dispenser

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

1.Turn the knob to the REFILL position and remove.

2.Pour rinse aid into the opening until the indicator points to FULL. Do not overfill.

3.Clean up any spilled rinse aid. Spilled rinse aid can create excessive suds.

4.Replace the knob and turn to the LOCK position.

NOTE: Indicator reads correct fill level when door is completely opened.

Rinse Aid Setting

Your rinse aid dispenser is adjustable. For most water conditions, the factory setting of 3 will give good results. If you have hard water and notice calcium buildup (water spots) on your dishware, you may want to try a higher setting. If you notice foam in your dishwasher, use a lower setting.
