Select a Cycle (cycles vary by model)
See "Cycle and Option Descriptions" charts in the following
section.
Heavier cycles and options affect cycle length. Some cycles and
options will take up to 31/2hours to complete.
Add Rinse Aid
• Your dishwasher is designed to use rinse aid for good drying
performance. Without rinse aid your dishes and dishwasher
interior will have excessive moisture. The heat dry option will
not perform as well without rinse aid.
• Rinse aid keeps water from forming droplets that can
dry as spots or streaks. They also improve drying by
allowing water to drain off of the dishes after the final
rinse.
• Rinse aid helps to reduce excess moisture on the dish
racks and interior of your dishwasher.
• Check the rinse aid indicator. Add rinse aid when indicator
drops to "Add" level.
