Dishwasher Dispenser & Detergents RINSE AID Rinse aid greatly improves drying and reduces water spots and filming. It causes the water to “sheet” off of dishes rather than form water droplets that cling and leave spots. The rinse aid dispenser, located next to the detergent cup, automatically releases a measured amount of rinse aid during the last rinse.
Before starting a cycle, run hot water to clear cool water from pipe. Factors Affecting Performance WATER PRESSURE The hot water line to the dishwasher must provide water pressure between 20 and 90 pounds per square inch (psi). Low water pressure may occur when laundry or showers are in operation.
IMPORTANT Read before operating your dishwasher! Care of Glass Trap Filter Your dishwasher is equipped with a state of the art wash system. Periodically, the Glass Trap Filter and Large Food Particle Trap may need to be cleaned to maximize wash performance.
Care of Drain Air Gap If a drain air gap was installed for your built-in dishwasher, check to make sure it is clean so the dishwasher will drain properly. A drain air gap is usually mounted on the sink at the countertop and can be inspected by removing the cover.
