Dishwasher Dispenser & Detergents
Rinse Aid
Rinse aid greatly improves drying, reduces water
spots, fi lming, and lubricates wash arm bearing for
proper rotation. With it 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. The indicator will be dark when full and
the status window will show LOW RINSE when it is
time to refi ll.
Do not overfi ll since this can cause oversudsing.
Wipe up any spills with a damp cloth.
The dispenser holds enough for 11 to 66 washes,
depending on setting.
To add liquid rinse aid, open the cover. Pour in
rinse aid until liquid touches the indicated fi ll level.
Close the cover.

Water Pressure
The hot water line to dishwasher must provide
water pressure between 20 and 120 psi.
Low water pressure may occur when laundry or
showers are in operation. If you experience poor
wash performance you may need to wait until water
use is reduced before starting dishwasher.
How to adjust the rinse aid
dosage
The rinse aid dosage is shown in the Status
Window. Press and hold the RINSE pad for 5
seconds until the Status Window shows L1, L2,
L3 or L4, RINSE pad illuminates with white light,
while the other pads are off. Pressing “RINSE” pad
will change the levels. Once the Rinse-aid level
reaches L4, the level will go back to L1 and start
the count over. Press START pad to save setting,
the setting will be shown for 10 seconds.
Water Temperature
Hot water is needed for best dishwashing and
drying results. Water entering dishwasher should
be at least 120
o
F (49
o
C) to give satisfactory results.
To check water temperature entering dishwasher:
•
Turn on hot water faucet nearest dishwasher
for several minutes to clear cool water from
pipes.
•
Hold a candy or meat thermometer in the water
stream to check the temperature.
•
If temperature is below 120
o
F (49
o
C), have
a qualifi ed person raise the hot water heater
thermostat setting.
IMPORTANT
Before starting a cycle, run hot water to clear
cool water from pipes.
Not selecting the AIR DRY option in
combination with rinse aid will enhance drying
performance. The energy required to use the
AIR DRY option saves pennies per cycle. You
may choose to select the AIR DRY option;
however you will have items in your dish load
that will not be completely dry at the end of the
cycle.
