Operating Your Dishwasher

Filling the Rinse Agent

Dispenser

important

•Rinse agent is important to the drying process of the dishware. It also reduces spotting. Dacor recommends that you keep the rinse agent dispenser full at all times. However, some customers with soft water may not need rinse agent. If you have soft water, your dishes may dry better without rinse agent.

•If you use a dishwashing detergent containing a rinse agent additive, do not fill the rinse agent dispenser to avoid a film on the dishes.

•When the rinse aid dispenser needs to be refilled, this symbol appears on the display.

•The rinse agent dispenser must be

properly adjusted. Too little rinse agent will allow spotting and drying problems. Too much rinse agent will cause foaming and streaking.

•When the water hardness exceeds 3 gpg, you should use rinse agent with citric acid (acid rinse agent).

To refill the rinse agent dispenser:1.Press the (right) release button to open the rinse agent compartment lid.
