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 dish washing detergent containing a rinse agent additive, do not fill the rinse agent dispenser to avoid a film on the dishes.
•The rinse agent indicator on the dispenser turns clear when it is empty.

•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.Turn the rinse agent cap

Adjusting the Rinse Agent Dispenser
The rinse agent setting is located under the rinse agent cap.
To change the setting:
1.Remove the rinse agent cap.
2.If you have spotty or improperly dried dishes, move the arrow to the next higher number. If you have streaks on your dishes, move the arrow to the next lower number. The harder the water, the more rinse agent required for acceptable results.

3.Replace the cap.
4.Check the dishes after the next wash load. Continue adjusting the rinse agent dispenser up or down according to the guidelines above until you have spot free, streak free, dry dishes.
NOTE: If you have very soft water and still experience streaking when the dispenser is set to position 1, you can dilute the rinse agent with water before pouring it into the dispenser to get acceptable results.
