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.

Water Pressure
Water pressure should be between 20 and 120 pounds per
square inch. Low water pressure occurs most often during
periods of high water consumption, such as when laundry
or showers are being done. To determine if you have
enough water pressure, put a 2 quart container under fully
opened hot water faucet nearest the dishwasher. It should
fill in less than 14 seconds. Be sure all other faucets are
turned off during test.
Water Temperature
Hot water is needed for best dishwashing and drying
results. Water entering dishwasher should be 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.

Factors Affecting Performance
Not selecting the AIR DRY option in combination with rinse
aid will enhance drying performance. The energy
required to use the AIR DRY option costs pennies per
cycle. You may choose to select the AIR DRY option;
however you will have items in your dish load that will not
be completely dry at the end of the cycle.
