IMPORTANT: Your dishwasher is designed to use a liquid rinse aid. The use of rinse aids greatly improves drying by allowing water to drain from the dishes after the final rinse. They also keep water from forming droplets that can dry as spots or streaks. Do not use a solid or bar-type rinse aid.

Filling the dispenser

The rinse aid dispenser holds 5 oz (150 mL) of rinse aid. Under normal conditions, this will last for about 1 to 3 months.

1.Make sure the dishwasher door is fully open.

2.Turn the dispenser knob to "Open" and lift it out.

Rinse aid setting

The amount of rinse aid released into the final rinse can be adjusted. For most water conditions, the factory setting of 2 will give good results. If you have hard water or notice rings or calcium spots on your glasses or dishes, try a higher setting.

3. Replace the dispenser knob.

Hot water dissolves and activates the dishwashing detergent. Hot water also dissolves grease on dishes and helps glasses dry spot- free. For best dishwashing results, water should be 120°F (49°C) as it enters the dishwasher. Loads may not wash as well if the water temperature is too low. Water that is too hot can make some soils harder to remove and cause certain detergent ingredients not to function. If your water heater is located far from the dishwasher, it may be necessary to run the hot water at the faucet closest to the dishwasher to minimize the amount of cold water in the water line.

To check water temperature

1.Run hot water at the faucet closest to your dishwasher for at least 1 minute.

2.Place a candy or meat thermometer in a glass measuring cup.

3= Check the temperature on the thermometer as the water is running into the cup.

Additional efficiency tips

To save water, energy and time, do not rinse dishes before putting them into the dishwasher.

Use a delay feature to run your dishwasher during off-peak hours. Local utilities recommend avoiding heavy usage of energy at certain times of day.

During the summer, run your dishwasher at night. This reduces daytime heat buildup in the kitchen.

Use a rinse aid to improve drying.

Use cycles or options that add extra heat to the wash or rinse portion of the cycle only when needed.

If your home is equipped with a water softener, you may want to avoid starting the dishwasher during the regeneration of the softener, since this may contribute to poor wash performance.
