Rinse Aid
Using a rinse aid makes water flow off the dishes
better. This lessens water spotting
and filming and
improves
drying. For best dishwashing
performance,
using a rinse aid is recommended.
Rinse aids come in either solid or liquid form. When
using a solid rinse aid such as Jet Dry, fasten it to the
back right corner of the lower rack. Purchase
new
rinse aid when the solid material
dissolves
and the
container
is empty.
When using a liquid form, the rinse aid dispenser
(Select Models) automatically
releases a measured
amount of rinse aid into the final rinse.
To fill, turn the dispenser
cap counterclockwise
to
open. Remove the cap and pour the liquid rinse aid
into the opening.
Depending
on how often the
dishwasher
is used, it should last about three months.
The level of the rinse aid should be checked
periodically.
An 'E' appearing
in the bottom
of the
reservoir
indicates
the dispenser
is empty and needs
to be refilled.
Preparing
the Dishes
If this is your first dishwasher,
or if you're replacing
a
much older model, you may wonder
how much
preparation
your dishes need. Actually
very little. Pre-
rinsing of normal food soils is not necessary.
With
common
sense and a little practice, you'll soon know
what foods to remove.
Here are some guidelines:
1. Scrape off bones, skins, toothpicks
and other hard
or large food solids. Remove excessive quantities
of
oil or grease.
.
Remove large quantities
of any food. Your
dishwasher
has a built-in soft food disposer
that
chops soft food bits and flushes them away. it can
handle small amounts
of soft foods, but large
amounts
will be difficult to handle. You may hear
chopping
noises during
the cycle. This is normal.
3. For burned-on
soil, it may be necessary
to pre-soak
or lightly scour the item before loading.
Remember
to use the Rinse & Hold cycle (Select Models) for
small "holding"
loads.
4. Since certain foods such as mustard,
mayonnaise,
vinegar,
lemon juice and other acidic foods can
cause discoloration
on stainless steel, it is
recommended
to rinse these soils off susceptible
flatware.
Loading
the Dishwasher
Helpful
Hints:
Always load items on the racks so
they are separated
and face the center to insure the
water spray will reach the soiled surfaces. Do not
allow items to extend out of the racks.
Make sure the movement
of the upper and lower
spray arms is not blocked
by items hanging
below the
lower rack or tall articles in the upper rack. Do not
block the center area of the lower rack. A center wash
tower extends through this area to improve cleaning.
Insure the free flow of water to the detergent
cups by
not blocking
with large items.
On the following
pages are illustrations
showing
various
loading possibilities.
Adding
a Forgotten
Item:
For best cleaning, the forgotten
item(s) should be
added early in the cycle.
1. Unlatch
the door and wait until the sound of the
circulating
water stops.
2. Open the door and add the item(s).
3. Close the door and the cycle will continue
at the
point it was interrupted.
