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.

Factors
Affecting
Performance
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 120°F to give satisfactory results. Improved
performance
may be obtained
by raising
water
temperature to 140°F. Water temperature should
not exceed 160°F. Check your water heater for
proper temperature.
To check water temperature
entering
dishwasher,
turn on hot water faucet nearest
dishwasher
for
several
minutes
to clear cool water from water
pipes. Place a glass under faucet
and use a candy
or meat thermometer
to check temperature
of the
water collected.
If temperature
is below
120°F (49°C), have a
qualified
person
raise the hot water heater
thermostat
setting.
Do not operate
the dishwasher
during or just after
other heavy use of hot water,
such as laundry
or
bathing.
Important:
Before
starting
a cycle, run hot
water through
faucet
to clear cool water from
pipe.
