Premeasured
Detergents
Many detergents now come in premeasured forms (gel packs,
tablets, or powder packs). These forms are suitable for all
hardness and soil levels. Always place premeasured detergents
in the main cup and close the lid.
IM PORTANT:
Extremely hard water mineral deposits (15 grains per U.S. gallon
or more) can cause damage to your dishwasher
and make it
difficult to achieve good results. A water softener is
recommended
to avoid damage and achieve good results. You
may bring your water samples to Sears to check hardness level.
IM PORTANT:
Your dishwasher
is designed to use a liquid rinse aid. The use of
rinse aids greatly improves drying by allowing water to drain from
the dishes after the final rinse. They also keep water from forming
droplets that can dry as spots or streaks.
Filling the dispenser
The dispenser holds 5 oz (150 mL) of rinse aid. Under most
conditions this will last 1 to 3 months.
1. Turn the knob to the REFILL position and remove.
2. Pour rinse aid into the opening until the indicator points to
FULL. Do not overfill.
3. Clean up any spilled rinse aid. Spilled rinse aid can create
excessive suds.
4. Replace the knob and turn to the LOCK position.
NOTE: Indicator reads correct fill level when door is completely
opened.
Rinse Aid Setting
Your rinse aid dispenser is adjustable. For most water conditions,
the factory setting of 2 will give good results. If you have hard
water and notice calcium buildup on your dishware, you may
want to try a higher setting.
Lock
Refill
To adjust
the setting
1. Turn the knob to the REFILL position and remove.
2. Turn the arrow inside the dispenser to the desired setting.
3. Replace the knob and turn to the LOCK position.
