Premeasured Detergents

Many detergents now come in premeasured forms (gel packs, tablets, or powder packs). These forms are suitable for all hardness and soil levels. Always place premeasured detergents in the main cup and close the lid.

IM PORTANT:

Extremely hard water mineral deposits (15 grains per U.S. gallon or more) can cause damage to your dishwasher and make it

difficult to achieve good results. A water softener is recommended to avoid damage and achieve good results. You may bring your water samples to Sears to check hardness level.

IM PORTANT:

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.

Filling the dispenser

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

1.Turn the knob to the REFILL position and remove.

2.Pour rinse aid into the opening until the indicator points to FULL. Do not overfill.

3.Clean up any spilled rinse aid. Spilled rinse aid can create excessive suds.

4.Replace the knob and turn to the LOCK position.

NOTE: Indicator reads correct fill level when door is completely opened.

Rinse Aid Setting

Your rinse aid dispenser is adjustable. For most water conditions, the factory setting of 2 will give good results. If you have hard water and notice calcium buildup on your dishware, you may want to try a higher setting.

Refill

To adjust the setting

1.Turn the knob to the REFILL position and remove.
