Rinse aids prevent water from forming droplets that can dry as spots or streaks. They also improve drying by allowing water to drain off of the dishes during the final rinse by releasing a small amount of the rinse aid into the rinse water. Your dishwasher is designed to use a liquid rinse aid. Do not use a solid or bar-type.

Filling the dispenser

The rinse aid dispenser holds 4.8 oz (145 mL) of rinse aid. Under normal conditions, this will last for about three months. Rinse aid is released through an opening in the dispenser. When latched properly, the cover remains closed. The cover should be opened only when refilling the dispenser. You do not have to wait until the dispenser is empty to refill it. Try to keep it full, but be careful not to overfill it.

1.Make sure the dishwasher door is fully open.

2.Open the dispenser by pushing the cover latch.

NOTE: Fill amounts shown are for standard powdered detergent. Amounts may vary if you use liquid or concentrated powdered detergent. Follow instructions on the package when using liquid dishwasher detergent or concentrated powdered detergent. If you use detergent tablets, use one whole tablet in the Main Wash section only, for all loads and water hardness levels.

The amount of rinse aid released into the final wash can be adjusted. The factory setting is at 2. For most water conditions, set the adjuster to 1 or 2. If there are rings or calcium (hard water) spots on dishes, try a higher setting.

To adjust the setting

Open the dispenser cover. Turn the adjuster inside the dispenser to the desired setting.
