Check
the dispenser
For best drying results, remove the dispenser
cap and check the dispenser periodically to see
if refilling is needed. You do not have to wait
until the dispenser is empty to refill it, but do not
overfill it.
The rinse agent dispenser will hold 7 fluid
ounces of rinse agent. Under normal conditions,
this will last about 3 months.
To fill dispenser
1. Make sure the dishwasher door is fully open.
2. Turn the dispenser cap counterclockwise to
remove.

Do not fill past the smallest opening in the
lower part of the dispenser.
If you overfill, excess rinse agent may
overflow dispenser and cause over-sudsing.
Clean up any spilled rinse agent with a
damp cloth.
Replace the fill cap and keep cap tightly
closed.
NOTE: Because your dishwasher is designed
to use a liquid rinse agent, you do not need to
use a solid or bar-type rinse agent.
Keep rinse agent
dispenser filled for

best drying results.

water heating
During the main wash portion of a cycle
(excluding RINSE HOLD) the wash water is
heated to an appropriate wash temperature.
This means that you may turn your home
water heater down to provide a minimum of
120°F (49°C) incoming water to the dish-
washer. Keeping your water heater at a lower
temperature will save you up to 10% of your
total household water heating energy costs.
Time needed
to heat water
The lower the incoming water temperature,
the longer the wash portion of the cycle will
run. This is because the cycle will continue to
wash while the water is being heated. Higher
incoming water temperatures will shorten the
water heating time.
NOTE: For best dishwashing results, water
should be at least 120°F (49°C) as it enters
the dishwasher.
To check water temperature
1. Test water at the faucet closest to your
dishwasher.
m
=
°
Run hot water for at least one minute,
into a glass set in the sink, allowing
water to overflow.
Place a candy or meat thermometer in
the glass. Read the thermometer at the
maximum setting.
If the water temperature is too low, have
a qualified person raise the setting on
your water heater, if possible.
