Wash Temperature
A rinse agent causes water to flow off the dishes morequickly,
preventing droplets that dry as spots and improving drying
performance. Rinse agent come in solid and liquid forms. Your
dishwasher’srinse agent dispenser uses the liquid form.

Filling the Rinse Agent Dispenser

Drying will usually be better if you use a rinse agent. Tofill the
dispenser, open the cap and pour the rinse agent into the
dispenserup to the knob for dosage setting. The dispenser will
hold approximately four ounces of liquid rinse agent.

Adjusting the Dosage of Rinse Agent

The rinse agent dosage is set by the manufacturer and is
dispensed automatically into the final rinse. If necessary, the
rinse agent dosage can be adjusted by inserting a screwdriver
insidethe filler hole where the adjustment device is set on “4.”
It is recommended that the dial be adjusted only one number
at a time.
NOTE:For soft water conditions, it may be necessary to reduce
the rinse agent dosage setting.
NOTE: Too much rinse agent is not advisable as this might
result in the formation of foam, especially if the dishwasher is
connected to a cold water supply.
NOTE: In areas with hard water above 12 grains, a water
softener is recommended.

Rinse Agent
Hot water dissolves and activates dishwashing detergents,
dissolves grease on dishes, and helps glasses dry spot free. If
the incoming water is extremely cold due to unusually cold
temperatures outside, if you have recentlydone laundry or run
hot water for showers, or if your water travels a long distance
from the hot water heater to the dishwasher,the running time
of the dishwasher may be longer to heat the water to the
requiredtemperature.

Checking the Wash Temperature

An incoming water t emperature of 120° F (49˚C) is
recommended.However, the Sure TempWater Heating System
will ensure the wate r temperatures are c orrect for the
cycle/options selected.
• Only start a wash when the machine is completely full.
• Do not prewash dishes. Simply scrape, load, and wash.
• Use the POTS/PANS program only for heavily soiled dishes.
• Connect the dishwasher to a cold water supply (cycle times
will be longer).
