Using the 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 automati-
cally releases into the rinse water during the
final rinse of each cycle.
For best
drying
results, check dispenser periodically to
see It It needs filling.
To check dispenser:
l
Check center of Fill Indicator Cap. Clear
means it needs filling.
OR
l
Remove Fill Indicator Cap. An 'F is visible
when dispenser is empty.
To fill dispenser:
The rinse agent dispenser holds 6 ounces
(175 mL). Under normal conditions, this
lasts about 3
months.
1.
Open dishwasher door completely.
2. Remove Fill Indicator Cap.
3. Add rinse agent. Fill to smallest opening
in lower part of dispenser only. Overfilling
may cause rinse agent to leak out. This
will not harm the dishwasher, but could
cause oversudsing.

damp cloth.
5. Replace Fill Indicator Cap. Keep it closed
tightly.

dispenser is empty before refilling, but do
not overfill it. Your dishwasher is designed
