and lift it out.
2. Pour the rinse aid into the dispenser, being careful not to overflow.
3. Replace the cap by inserting it aligned with “open” arrow and turning it to the “clos e” (right)
arrow.
Be careful not to overfill the dispenser, because this could cause over sudsing. Wipe away any spills
with a damp cloth. Don’t forget to replace the cap before you close the dishwasher door. If you have soft
water, you may not need rinse aid because it may cause a white film to develop on your dishes.
Adjusting Rinse Aid Dispenser
A measured amount of rinse aid is released during the final rinse. As with detergent,
the amount of rinse aid needed for your dishes depends on the hardness of the water
in your area. Too much rinse aid can result in lather of foaming and cause cloudiness
or streaks on your dishes. If the water in you area is very soft, you may not need rinse
aid. If you do, you can dilute the rinse aid with an equal amount of water.
The rinse aid dispenser has six settings. Always start with the dispenser set on “1”. If there are rings of
calcium (hard water) spots on dishes and drying problems, increase the amount of rinse aid dispensed
by removing the dispenser lid and rotating the dial to “2”. IF the dishes still are not drying properly or are
spotted, adjust the dial to the next higher number until your dishes are spot-free. We suggest you to set
on”4”.
When To Refill The Rinse Aid Dispenser
When dispenser needs to be refi lled the rinse aid warning indicator
will be ON. If there is no rinse aid warning indicator on the control
panel, you can judge the amount of rinse aid by the following means.
The black dot on the rinse aid dispenser indicates the amount of rinse
aid in th e dispenser. As the rinse aid diminishes, the size of the black
dot decreases. You should never let the rinse aid get below ¼ full.
