Use a Rinse Agent
A rinse agent improves dry performance, reduces spots and prevents new film
The rinse agent dispenser holds 3.5 oz. of rinse agent. Under normal conditions, this will last approximately one month. Try to keep it full, but do not overfill.
To fill the rinse agent dispenser, make sure the dishwasher is fully open.
Turn the dispenser cap to the left and lift it out. Add rinse agent until the indicator window shows full.
Clean up any spilled rinse agent with a damp cloth. Replace the dispenser cap.
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 there is foaming, use a lower setting.
To adjust the setting, remove the dispenser cap; then turn the adjuster counterclockwise to increase the amount of rinse agent.
