DISHWASHER DISPENSER AND DETERGENTS
Rinse Aid
Rinse aid greatly improves drying, reduces water spots,
filming, and lubricates wash arm bearing for proper rotation.
With it water "sheets" off dishes rather than forming water
droplets that cling and leave spots.
A dispenser, located next to the detergent cup, automatical-
ly 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. The indicator will be dark
when full and the status window will show LOW RINSE
when it is time to refill.
To add liquid rinse aid, open the cover. Pour in rinse aid
until liquid touches the indicated fill level. Close the cover.
Do not overfill since this can cause oversudsing. Wipe up
any spills with a damp cloth.
The dispenser holds enough for 11 to 66 washes, depend-
ing on setting.
Indicator
Not selecting the AIR DRY option in combination with rinse
aid will enhance drying performance. The energy required
to use the AIR DRY option saves 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.
How to adjust the rinse aid dosage
The rinse aid dosage is shown in the Status Window. Press
and hold the RINSE pad for 5 seconds until the Status Win-
dow shows L1, L2, L3 or L4, RINSE pad illuminates with
white light, while the other pads are off. Pressing "RINSE"
pad this will change the levels. Once the Rinse-aid level
reaches L4, the level will go back to L1 and start the count
over. Press START pad to save setting, the setting will be
shown for 10 seconds.
Factors Affecting Performance
Water Pressure
The hot water line to dishwasher must provide water pres-
sure between 20 and 120 psi.
Low water pressure may occur when laundry or showers
are in operation. If you experience poor wash performance
you may need to wait until water use is reduced before
starting dishwasher.
Water Temperature
Hot water is needed for best dishwashing and drying re-
sults. Water entering dishwasher should be at least 120°F
(49°C) to give satisfactory results.

Turn on hot water faucet nearest dishwasher for sever-

Hold a candy or meat thermometer in the water stream
to check the temperature.
If temperature is below 120°F (49°C), have a qualified
person raise the hot water heater thermostat setting.
