Factors Affecting
.................................................................................
& Detergents
(continued)
....................................................................................
Performance
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. _ will appear
at
the end of the cycle indicating
that 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
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.
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°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 at the tap to clear cool water from pipe.

The HEATED
DRY and/or
SAHARA
DRY
options
in combination
with rinse aid will
enhance
drying
performance.
The energy
required
to use these
options
costs
pennies
per cycle.
You may choose
not to select the
HEATED
DRY or SAHARA
DRY option;
however
you will have items in your dish load
that will not be completely
dry at the end of the
cycle.
