OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Rinse Aid
Rinse aid greatly improves drying,
reduces water spots, filming. 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 refill.
To add liquid rinse aid:
1.
Lift up the rinse aid cover to open.
2. Fill the rinse aid dispenser with
liquid rinse aid until the liquid
reaches the indicated fill level. DO
NOT overfill.
3. Press the rinse aid cover down firmly
to close.
4. 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.

NOTE
The HEAT DRY option in combination
with rinse aid will enhance drying per-
formance. The energy required to use
the HEAT DRY option costs pennies per
cycle. You may choose not to select the
HEAT DRY option; however you will have
items in your dish load that will not be
completely dry at the end of the cycle.

Pressing the START button or just
pausing for a few seconds confirms 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 be at least 120°F
(49°C) to give 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°F (49°C),
have a qualified person raise the hot
water heater thermostat setting.
