Dishwasher Dispenser & Detergents

Rinse Aid

Rinse aid greatly improves drying and reduces water spots and filming. Water "sheets" off dishes rather than forming water droplets that cling and leave spots.

A dispenser, located next to the detergent cup, automatically releases a measured amount of rinse aid during the last rinse. If spotting and poor drying are problems, increase the amount of rinse aid dispensed by rotating the dial to a higher number. The dial is located under the dispenser cap. The indicator will be dark when full and will show clear when it is time to refill.

To add liquid rinse aid, turn dispenser cap 1/4 turn counterclockwise and lift out. Pour in rinse aid until liquid touches the indicated fill level. Replace cap.

Do not overfill since this can cause oversudsing. Wipe up any spills with a damp cloth.

The dispenser holds enough for 35 to 140 washes, depending on setting.

Factors Affecting Performance

Water Pressure

Water pressure should be between 20 and 120 pounds per square inch. Low water pressure occurs most often during periods of high water consumption, such as when laundry or showers are being done. To determine if you have enough water pressure, put a 2 quart container under fully opened hot water faucet nearest the dishwasher. It should fill in less than 14 seconds. Be sure all other faucets are turned off during test.

Water Temperature

Hot water is needed for best dishwashing and drying results. Water entering dishwasher should be 120°F (49°C) to give satisfactory results.

To check water temperature entering dishwasher:

•Turn on hot water faucet nearest dishwasher for several minutes to clear cool water from pipes.

•Hold a candy or meat thermometer in stream of water to check the temperature.

•If temperature is below 120°F (49°C), have a qualified person raise the hot water heater thermostat setting.

Important: Before starting a cycle, run hot water to clear cool water from pipe.

Not selecting the AIR DRY option in combination with rinse aid will enhance drying performance. The energy required to use the AIR DRY option costs pennies per cycle. You may choose to select the AIR DRY option; however you will have items in your dish load that will not be completely dry at the end of the cycle.
