Dishwasher Dispenser
& Detergents (continued)
Rinse Aid
Rinse aid greatly improves drying and
reduces water spots and filming. 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 refill.
To add liquid rinse aid, turn dispenser cap 1/4
turn counterclockwise and lift out. Pour in
rinse aid until liquid touches the indicated fill
level. Replace cap.
Do not overfill 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.

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. Wait until water
use is reduced before starting dishwasher.
Water Temperature
Hot water is needed for best dishwashing and
drying results. Water entering dishwasher
should be at least 120°F (49°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
stream of water to check the temperature.
If temperature is below 120°F (49°C), have
a qualified person raise the hot water
heater thermostat setting.
Important: Before starting a cycle, run hot
water to clear cool water from pipe.
