Rinse Aid
Rinse aid greatly improves drying, reduces
water spots, fi lming. 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. The indicator will be dark
when full and will show clear when it is time to
refi ll.
To add liquid rinse aid, open the cover. Pour in
rinse aid until liquid touches the indicated fi ll
level. Close the cover.
Do not overfi ll since this can cause oversudsing.
Wipe up any spills with a damp cloth.
The dispenser holds enough for 11 to 66 washes,
depending on setting.

IMPORTANT
Before starting a cycle, run hot water to
clear cool water from pipe.
Deselecting the AIR DRY option in
combination with rinse aid will enhance
drying performance. The energy required to
not use the AIR DRY option costs pennies
per cycle. You may choose to select the AIR
DRY option; however you will have items in
your dish load that will not be completely
dry at the end of the cycle.

How to adjust the rinse aid dosage
Press and hold the RINSE ONLY pad for 5 seconds
until the status window shows rinse aid level.
Pressing the DELAY START pad increases the
increment level (L1 - L4).
Once the rinse-aid level reaches L4, the status
window will start back at level L1.
Pressing the START/CANCEL button or just
pausing for a few seconds confi rms the rinse
aid level setting: the status window shows the
duration of the cycle.
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 the
dishwasher.
Water Temperature
Hot water is needed for best dishwashing and
drying results. Water entering dishwasher should
o
be at least 120
F (49
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
