Using th® rinse agent dispenser
Keep the rinse agent dispenser filled with a liquid
rinse agent A rinse agent greatly improves dish
drying by helping water flow off them during the last
rinse. A rinse agent also keeps water from forming
droplets and drying as spots or streaks. A small amount of rinse agent automatically releases
into the rinse water during the final rinse of each cycle.
For best drying results, check dispenser periodically
to see if it needs fiiiing.

%¥at#r temperature tips
Hot water dissolves and activates the dishwashing
detergent. Hot water also dissolves grease on
dishes and helps dry glasses spot-free. Use the
Water Heat option, if available, if you keep your
water heater at a low setting. For best dishwashing
results, water must be at least 120°F {49'’C) as it
enters the dishwasher.
NOTE: The time showing on the electronic display
will pause while water is heating, For more infor­
mation, see “Dishwasher seems to run too long"
on page 26.
To check water temperature;
1. Run hot water at the faucet closest to your dish­
washer. Let the water run for at least 1 minute,
2, Measure the water temperature with a candy or
meat thermometer, Put the thermom­
eter in the running stream of water.
3. If the water temperature at the faucet is below
120“F {49“C), have a qualified person raise the
water heater's thermostat setting.
