Rinse aid keeps water from forming
droplets that can dry as spots or
streaks. They also improve drying by
allowing water to drain off of the
dishes after the final rinse.
Rinse aid helps to reduce excess
moisture on the dish racks and interior of your dishwasher.
Check the rinse aid indicator. Add rinse aid when indicator
drops to “Add” level or, when rinse aid indicator looks light. A
light visual indicator means to add rinse aid, and a dark visual
indicator means that there is sufficient rinse aid in the
dishwasher.
Dispenser with one lid - To add
rinse aid, turn the dispenser
cap to “Refill” and lift off. Pour
rinse aid into the opening until
the indicator level is at “Full.”
Replace the dispenser cap and
turn to “Lock.” Make sure cap
is fully locked.
NOTE: For most water conditions, the
factory setting of 2 will give good
results. If you have hard water or notice
rings or spots, try a higher setting. Turn
the arrow adjuster inside the dispenser
by either using your fingers or inserting
a flat-blade screwdriver into the center
of the arrow and turning.
Select a Cycle (cycles vary by model)
NOTE: Heavier cycles and options affect cycle length. Some
cycles and options will take up to 3¹⁄₂ hours to complete.
Heavy Wash – Use for heavily
soiled, hard-to-clean items.
Normal Wash – Use for normal food
soil. The energy usage label is based
on this cycle.
Quick Wash – Use for prerinsed or lightly soiled loads.
Rinse Only – (no options apply to this cycle) Do not use detergent.
This is only a rinse that keeps food from drying on your dishes and
reduces odor buildup in your dishwasher until you are ready to
wash a full load.

off.
Sanitize – (use only with Normal wash cycle; automatic with Heavy
Duty cycle) Select this option to raise the water temperature in the
final rinse to approximately 155°F (68°C). Sanitize option adds heat
and time to the cycle. This high temperature rinse sanitizes your
dishes and glassware in accordance with NSF/ANSI Standard 184
for Residential Dishwashers. Certified residential dishwashers are
not intended for licensed food establishments.

the dishwasher automatically at a later time. Select a
wash cycle and options. Press DELAY Hours. Press
