Rinse Aid
Rinse aid greatly improves drying, reduces
water spots, fi lming.
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 will show clear 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.
FACTORS AFFECTING PERFORMANCE
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 the
dishwasher.
The HEAT DRY option in combination with
rinse aid will enhance drying performance.
The energy required to use the HEAT DRY
option costs pennies per cycle. You may
choose not to select the HEAT DRY option;
however you will have items in your dish
load that will not be completely dry at the
end of the cycle.
How to adjust the rinse aid dosage
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.
