A rinse agent greatly improves dish drying and helps pre-
vent spots or streaks. The rinse agent helps water flow off
dishes and keeps water from forming droplets. A small
amount of rinse agent automatically releases into the final
rinse water.
Keep the rinse agent dispenser filled with a liquid
rinse agent. For best drying results, periodically check
the dispenser as follows to see if it needs filling:
o Check center of rinse aid indicator cap II1 . Clear
means it needs filling.
OR
o Remove rinse aid indicator cap. An "E" is visible at the
bottom of the dispenser when empty [] .
To fill dispenser:
1. Open dishwasher door completely.
2. Remove rinse aid indicator cap.
3. Add rinse agent []. Fiii only to smallest opening in
lower part of dispenser. Overfilling may cause rinse
agent to leak ouL This wiii not harm the dishwasher,
but could cause oversudsing.
4. Clean up any spilled rinse agent with a damp cloth.
5. Replace rinse aid indicator cap. Keep it closed tightly.
NOTES:
o Your dishwasher is designed to use a liquid rinse agent.

Hot water dissolves and activates the dishwashing
detergent. Hot water also dissolves grease on dishes and
helps dry, glasses spot-free. For best dishwashing results,
water must be at bast 120°F (49°C) as it enters the
dishwasher. Loads may not wash as well if the water
temperature is too low.
NOTE: Use the Water Heat option on your dishwasher if
you keep your water heater at a low setting. The time
showing on the electronic display pauses while water is
heating. For more information, see "Dishwasher seems to
run too long" in the "Troubleshooting Guide" section.
To check water temperature:
1. Run hot water at the faucet closest to your dishwasher
for at bast 1 minute.
2. Measure the water temperature with a candy or meat
thermometer placed in the running stream of water[] .
3. If the water temperature at the faucet is below 120°F
(49°C), have a qualified person raise the water heater's
thermostat setting.
