Rinse Agent
A rinse agent causes water to flow off the dishes more quickly,
preventing droplets that dry as spots and improving drying
performance. Rinse agent come in solid and liquid forms. Your
dishwasher’s rinse agent dispenser uses the liquid form.
Filling the Rinse Agent Dispenser
Drying will usually be better if you use a rinse agent. To fill the
dispenser, open the cap and pour the rinse agent into the
dispenser up 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
inside the 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.

Use only a detergent designed for an automatic dishwasher.
Never use oven cleaners or other caustic cleaners not designed
for dishwashers. These will damage the stainless steel interior,
filters and pump components of your dishwasher. Never use
soap, laundry detergent or handwashing detergent in your
dishwasher, as they are too mild and will cause severe over-
sudsing. The foam product prevents the dishwasher from
working properly and may cause damage to the dishwasher.
WARNING: Dishwasher detergent is corrosive. Keep out of
reach of children. If swallowed, drink plenty of water or
milk. Do not induce vomiting. Seek medical advice without
delay. If dishwasher detergent gets into eyes, rinse
immediately with plenty of water.

Storing the Detergent
For best results, keep your detergent container tightly closed
after each use, out of reach of children and stored in a cool, dry
place. Storage under the sink is not advisable for powdered
detergent, because this area is generally too warm and
moist to keep detergent fresh.
