Factors Affecting Performance - Frigidaire FGID2476SF1A Use & Care Manual

Rinse Aid
Rinse aid greatly improves drying, reduces
water spots, filming. With it water "sheets" off
dishes rather than forming water droplets that
cling and leave spots.
A 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. The indicator will be dark when full
and will show clear when it is time to refill.
To add liquid rinse aid:
1. Lift up the rinse aid cover to open.
2. Fill the rinse aid dispenser with liquid rinse aid
until the liquid reaches the indicated fill level.
DO NOT overfill.
3. Press the rinse aid cover down firmly to close.
4. Wipe up any spills with a damp cloth.
Indicator
The dispenser holds enough for 11 to 66 washes,
depending on setting.
IMPORTANT
Before starting a cycle, run hot water to clear
cool water from pipe.

How to adjust the rinse aid dosage
Press and hold the RINSE ONLY and DELAY START
pad for 5 seconds until the status window shows
rinse aid level. Pressing the DELAY START pad
increases the increment level (L0-L6).
Once the rinse-aid level reaches L6, the status
window will start back at level L0.
Pressing the START button or just pausing for a
few seconds confirms the rinse aid level setting:
the status window shows the duration of the
cycle.
Water Pressure
The hot water line to dishwasher must provide
water pressure between 20 and 120 psi.
Low water pressure may occur when laundry
or showers are in operation. If you experience
poor wash performance you may need to wait
until water use is reduced before starting the
dishwasher.
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 the
water stream to check the temperature.
• If temperature is below 120°F (49°C), have
a qualified person raise the hot water heater
thermostat setting.

NOTA
The HEAT DRY option in combination with
rinse aid will enhance drying performance. The
energy required to use the HEAT DRY option
costs pennies per cycle. You may choose not to
select the HEAT DRY option; however you will
have items in your dish load that will not be
completely dry at the end of the cycle.
