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 heating and drying
options will not perform as well without rinse aid.
Rinse aid keeps water from forming droplets that can dry as spots
■
or streaks. It also improves drying by allowing water to drain off
of dishes after final rinse. Rinse aid does not adhere to dishware,
and when used, it is dispensed during each cycle.
To add rinse aid, open the dispenser
■
lid by gently pushing in the center of
the lid with your thumb while lifting up
on the edge.
Pour rinse aid into the opening until
■
the indicator level shows that it is full.
Close dispenser by pushing down gently on the lid.
■
NOTE: For most water conditions, the factory setting will give
good results.
If you are experiencing poor drying performance, you may
want to try a higher setting. Turn the arrow adjuster to a
higher number to increase the amount of rinse aid.
This information covers several different models. Your dishwasher may not have all of the cycles and options described.
IMPORTANT: The sensor in your dishwasher monitors the soil level. Cycle time and/or water usage can vary as the sensor adjusts the cycle for
the best wash performance. If the incoming water is less than the recommended temperature or food soils are heavy, the cycle will automatically
compensate by adding time, heat, and water as needed.
The most versatile cycle. This cycle senses the load size, soil amount, and toughness of
soil to adjust the cycle for improved cleaning, using only the amount of water and energy
needed. The Sensor cycle is automatically selected if you first press the Start/Resume
button.Includes Heat Dry.*
Use for hard-to-clean, heavily soiled pots, pans, casseroles, and regular tableware.
Includes Heat Dry.
This cycle is recommended for daily, regular, or typical use to completely wash and dry
a full load of normally soiled dishes. This dishwasher's government energy certifications
were based on the Normal cycle with only the Heat Dry option selected.**
For fast results, the 1-Hour Wash will clean dishes using slightly more water and energy.
For improved drying, select the Heat Dry option.
NOTE: Some detergents are not recommended for short wash cycles, please refer to your
detergent packaging for more information.
This cycle quietly soaks dishes with an extended prewash which eliminates the need to
presoak dishes, saving personal time and effort. For optimal cleaning results during the
Soak & Clean cycle, add prewash detergent. Use this cycle for loads with heavy amounts
of dried-on or hard to clean baked-on food. Includes Heat Dry.
*The government energy certifications are not based on this cycle. See the Normal cycle description for the government energy certification
cycle. Using the Sensor cycle may increase your energy usage.
**No other washing and drying temperature options were selected, and the diswasher was not subjected to truncated testing. Rinse aid was
not used, and there was no detergent used in the prewash.
