Hot Water
To check the incoming water temperature, turn on the hot
water faucet nearest the dishwasher and let it run into a
glass in the sink. Place a candy thermometer in the glass
and check the temperature once it has stopped rising. If
the temperature is below 120 ° F (49 ° C), have a qualified
person raise the water heater thermostat setting.
Before starting the dishwasher, turn on the hot water
faucet and let it run until the water is hot. This assures
that the initial fill of water is hot.

iiiii{{:ii!i!i!i!iiiiiiiidosage. Do notdivide this amountbetweencups. Each
s
line in the detergent cup represents 3 teaspoons. Add
detergent and close the cover just before starting the
cycle. The detergent automatically dispenses.
For Auto Clean, place the recommended amount of
detergent in both the PREWASH and MAIN WASH cups
when dishes are not prerinsed. If dishes ARE prerinsed
place detergent in the MAIN WASH cup only.
For Heavy or Normal Wash, place the recommended
amount of detergent in both the PRE WASH and MAIN
WASH cups.
Light Wash requires detergent in the MAIN WASH cup
only.
Do not use detergent with Rinse Only. Leave the deter-
gent cup lid open when running Rinse Only.
Rinse Aid
Your dishwasher features an automatic rinse aid dis-
penser located near the detergent cups in the door.
The clear window in the center of the dispenser cap
allows you to see if there is rinse aid in the reservoir.
When the window is colored, there is rinse aid in the dis-
penser. When the window becomes clear, it is time to
refill the dispenser. Check the dispenser monthly.
To add rinse aid to the dispenser, turn the cap counter-
clockwise to open. Remove the cap and pour liquid rinse
aid into the opening. Replace the cap and turn it clockwise.
Use the LESS setting for soft water and the MORE set-
ting for hard water. Set the cap anywhere between these
amounts as needed.
