IMPORTANT
Before starting a cycle, run hot water to
clear cool water from pipe.
Water Temperature
Hot water is needed for best dishwashing
and drying results. Water entering the
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),
hav
e a qualifi ed person raise the hot
water heater thermostat setting.
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. Turning off the HEAT DRY option;
will result in more of the dish load being
wet at the end of the cycle.
Factors Aff ecting Performance
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 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 refi ll. On models with a STATUS
window, LO will appear at the end of the
cycle indicating that it is time to refi ll.
To add liquid rinse aid, turn dispenser cap
1/4 turn counterclockwise and lift out.
Pour in rinse aid until liquid touches the
indicated fi ll level Replace cap.
Do not overfi ll 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.
Water Pressure
The hot water supply 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.
