Rinse Aid
Rinse aid greatly improves drying and reduces
water spots and filming. 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 dispenser 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
Water pressure should be between 20 and 120 pounds per
square inch. Low water pressure occurs most often during
periods of high water consumption, such as when laundry
or showers are being done. To determine if you have
enough water pressure, put a 2 quart container under fully
opened hot water faucet nearest the dishwasher. It should
fill in less than 14 seconds. Be sure all other faucets are
turned off during test.
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 stream of
water to check the temperature.
•
If temperature
is below 120°F (49°C), 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.
Not selecting the AIR DRY option in combination
with rinse aid will enhance drying performance.
The energy required to 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.
