Using the Dishwasher
Dishwasher
Check
the Water
Temperature
The entering water should be at least 120°F and
not more than 150°F, for effective cleaning and
to prevent dish damage. Check the water
temperature with a candy or meat thermometer.
Turn on the hot water faucet nearest the
dishwasher, place the thermometer in a glass
and let the water run continuously into the glass
until the temperature stops rising.
Use a
Rinse
Agent
A rinse agent improves dry performance,
reduces spots and prevents new film buildup
on your dishes, glasses, flatware, cookware
and plastic. Jet-Dry
®
and Cascade Rinse Aid
®
are recommended rinse agents for Monogram
Dishwashers.
Filling the Dispenser
The rinse agent dispenser holds 3.5 oz. of rinse
agent. Under normal conditions, this will last
approximately one month. Try to keep it full,
but do not overfill.
1. Make sure the dishwasher is fully open.
2. Turn the dispenser knob to the left and
lift it out.
3. Add rinse agent until the indicator window
looks full.
4. Clean up any spilled rinse agent with a
damp cloth.
5. Replace the dispenser knob.
Rinse Aid Setting
The amount of rinse agent released into the final
wash can be adjusted. The factory setting is at the
midpoint. If there are rings of calcium (hard
water) spots on dishes, try a higher setting.
To adjust the setting, remove the dispenser
knob; then turn the adjuster counterclockwise
to increase the amount of rinse agent.
Forget to
Add a
Dish?
A forgotten dish can be added any time before
the main wash.
1. Unlatch the door to interrupt the cycle.
Squeeze the door latch to release the door.
2. Do not open the door until the water spray
action stops. Steam may rise out of the
dishwasher.
3. Add forgotten dishes.
4. Close the door and push it in to relatch.
