Rinse Aid

To achieve proper drying, always use a liquid rinse aid, even if your detergent
contains a rinse aid or drying additive.
Note: The dishwasher indicates low rinse aid by turning on the Rinse Aid indica-
tor light. If this light is on, you need to refill the rinse aid dispenser by following
the directions below.
Adding Rinse Aid
Add liquid rinse aid to the dispenser until the reservoir is full (see Figure 7).
Wipe up any excess rinse aid that may puddle when the dispenser reservoir
is full. The indicator light will go out a few moments after the dishwasher
door is shut. See pages 13 or 14 for instruction on how to adjust the amount
of rinse aid dispensed.
