Factors Affecting Performance - Frigidaire FFID2426TD Use & Care Manual

FACTORS AFFECTING PERFORMANCE

Rinse Aid
Rinse aid greatly improves drying and
reduces water spots. 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 by rotating the dial to a
higher number. The dial is located under the
dispenser cap. The indicator will be dark when
full and will show clear when it is time to refill.
To add liquid rinse aid, turn dispense cap 1/4
turn counterclockwise and lift out. Pour in
rinse aid until liquid touches the indicated fill
level Replace cap.
Do not overfill since this can cause
oversudsing. Wipe up any spills with a damp
cloth.
The dispenser holds enough for 35 to 140
washes, depending on setting.

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
dishwasher.
Water Temperature
Hot water is needed for best dishwashing and
drying results. Water entering dishwasher
should be at least 120
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
have a qualified person raise the hot
water heater thermostat setting.
IMPORTANT
Before starting a cycle, run hot water
to clear cool water from pipe.

NOTE
The use of industrial grade detergent can
damage the heating coil and other parts of
the dishwasher leading to damage to the
unit and surrounding property. Use only
household grade automatic dishwasher
detergents.
