Using the Dispensers

Using the rinse agent dispenser

A rinse agent prevents water from forming
droplets that can dry as spots or streaks. It
also improves drying by allowing water to
drain off the dishes during the final rinse by
releasing a small amount of the rinse agent
into the rinse water. Your dishwasher is
designed to use a liquid rinse agent. Do not
use a solid or bar-type rinse agent.
Filling the dispenser
The rinse agent dispenser holds 5.2 fluid
ounces (153.7 mL) of rinse agent. Under
normal conditions, this will last for about
three months. You do not have to wait until
the dispenser is empty to refill it. Try to
keep it full, but be careful not to overfill it.
1. Make sure the dishwasher door is
fully open.
2. Turn the dispenser knob to Open and lift
it out.
3. Add rinse agent until the indicator window
looks full. If you overfill, the excess rinse
agent may overflow the dispenser and
cause oversudsing during the wash cycle.
4. Clean up any spilled rinse agent with a
damp cloth.
5. Replace the dispenser knob and turn it
to Closed.

Rinse agent setting

The amount of rinse agent released into the
final wash can be adjusted. The factory
setting is at 2. For most water conditions set
the adjuster to 1 or 2. If there are rings or
calcium (hard water) spots on dishes, try a
higher setting (4, 5, or 6).
To adjust setting
Remove the dispenser knob, then turn
the adjuster inside the dispenser to the
desired setting.
