No rinse aid Is a new solid rinse aid needed or does
the rinse aid dispenser need filling?

Drying with Energy Saver Dry option Allow more time when drying without
heat, or dry with heat. Plastic items
may need towel drying.
Black marks on dishes Aluminum utensils rubbing against
items during washing Use care in loading aluminum utensils,
