Troubleshooting Tips

Filling the Dispenser

The rinse agent dispenser holds 3.5 oz. of rinse agent. Under normal conditions, this will last approximately one month. Refill when rinse agent is not visible in the indicator. Do not overfill.

1Make sure the dishwasher door is fully open.

2Turn the dispenser cap to the left and lift it out.

3Add rinse agent until the indicator window looks full. Do not overfill.

4Clean up any spilled rinse agent with a damp cloth to prevent foam.

5Replace the dispenser cap.

Rinse Aid Setting

The amount of rinse agent released into the final wash can be adjusted. The factory setting is at the midpoint. If there are rings of calcium (hard water) spots on dishes, try a higher setting. If you observe foam in the final rinse, try a lower setting.

To adjust the setting

Remove the dispenser cap, then turn the adjustable setting dial counterclockwise to increase the amount of rinse agent or clockwise to reduce the amount of rinse agent dispensed.
