Rinse Aid Dispenser

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.

Checking the dispenser

Check the center of the Fill Indicator cap. Clear means it needs filling.

Filling the dispenser

1.Make sure the dishwasher door is completely open.

2.Remove the Fill Indicator cap.

3.Add rinse aid. Fill to the smallest opening in the lower part of the dispenser. Overfilling can cause the rinse aid to leak out, and could cause oversudsing.
