RINSE AID
Factors Affecting Performance
Rinse aid greatly improves drying and reduces
water spots and filming. Water “sheets” off
dishes rather than forming water droplets that cling
and leave spots.
The dispenser, located next to the detergent cup,
automatically releases a measured amount of rinse
aid during the last rinse. If spotting and poor drying
are problems, increase the amount of rinse aid
dispensed by rotating the dial to a higher number.
The dial is located under the dispenser cap. The
indicator will be dark when full and will show clear
when it is time to refill.
To add liquid rinse aid, turn dispenser cap 1/4 turn
counterclockwise adn lift out. Pour in rinse aid until
liquid touches the indicated fill level. Replace cap.
Do not overfill since this can cause oversudsing.
Wipe up any spills with a damp cloth.
The dispenser holds enough for 35 to 140 washes,
depending on setting.
Not selecting the AIR DRY option in combination
with rinse aid will enhance drying performance. The
energy required to use the AIR DRY option costs
pennies per cycle. You may choose to select the
AIR DRY option; however you will have items in your
dish load that will not be completely dry at the end
of the cycle.
Water pressure should be between 20 and 120
pounds per square inch. Low water pressure
occurs most often during periods of high water
consumption, such as when laundry or showers are
being done. To determine if you have enough water
pressure, put a 2 quart container under fully
opened hot water faucet nearest the dishwasher. It
should fill in less than 14 seconds. Be sure all
other faucets are turned off during test.
Water Temperature
Hot water is needed for best dishwashing and
drying results. Water entering dishwasher should
be at least 120°F (49°C) to give satisfactory results.
To check water temperature entering dishwasher:
• Turn on hot water faucet nearest dishwasher for
several minutes to clear cool water from pipes.
• Hold a candy or meat thermometer in stream of
water to check the temperature.
• If temperature is below 120°F (49°C), have a
qualified person raise the hot water heater
thermostat setting.
Important: Before starting a cycle, run hot water to
clear cool water from pipe.
