RINSE AID DISPENSER

The regular use of liquid rinse aid gives the best drying results. Rinse aids prevent water from forming droplets on surfaces that can dry as spots, or streaks, and keep metal from tarnish- ing. They also improve drying by allowing wa- ter to drain off the dishes during the final rinse. The dishwasher is designed to use a liquid rinse aid. Do not use a solid, or bar-type.

The rinse aid dispenser is located on the front inside of the drawer underneath the detergent dispenser.

Filling The Dispenser

The rinse aid dispenser holds 1.7 oz. (50.28 mL) of rinse aid. Under normal conditions, this will last for about 1 to 2 months. Try to keep it full, but do not overfill it.

To fill the dispenser:

1.Turn the plug counterclockwise and re- move it.

2.Pour the rinse aid into the circular open- ing. NOTE: Be careful not to spill any rinse aid into the drawer. Clean any spillage to prevent excess foaming. Failure to clean rinse aid spillages may result in a service call, which will not be covered by warranty.

How Much Rinse Aid To Use

The regulator may need adjusting to suit the water conditions. The lowest setting is “1” and the highest is “5.” For hard water situations, the rinse aid should be set to its highest setting (5).

NOTE: If there is excessive foam at the end of the wash, reduce the setting. If dishes are wet or streaky after drying, increase the setting.

3.Install the plug back into the original posi- tion.

Rinse Aid Indicator

If the rinse aid indicator light is red, refill the dispenser. If the rinse aid indicator light is not lit, there is enough rinse aid for the wash. You do not have to wait until the dispenser is empty to refill it.
