*The prewash compartment is on top of the sliding door of
the dispenser.
**A full main wash compartment contains 2 Tbsp. (30 ml).
IMPORTANT: Extremely hard water mineral deposits (15 grains
per U.S. gallon or more) can cause damage to your dishwasher
and make it difficult to achieve good results. A water softener is
recommended to avoid damage and achieve good results. You
may bring your water samples to Sears to check hardness level.
NOTE: Follow instructions on the package when using other
dishwasher detergent types.

Rinse Aid
IMPORTANT: Your dishwasher is designed to use rinse aid. The
use of rinse aids greatly improves drying by allowing water to
drain from the dishes after the final rinse. They also keep water
from forming droplets that can dry as spots or streaks.
Filling the dispenser
The dispenser holds 5 oz. (150 mL) of rinse aid. Under most
conditions this will last 1 to 3 months.
1. To add rinse aid, open the rinse aid dispenser lid by gently
pushing in the center of the lid with your thumb and pulling
up on the edge.
2. Pour rinse aid into the opening until the dispenser is full. Do
not overfill.
3. Clean up any spilled rinse aid. Spilled rinse aid can create
excessive suds.
4. Then, close the dispenser by pushing down gently on the lid.
NOTE: Indicator reads correct fill level when door is completely
opened.
Rinse Aid Setting
Your rinse aid dispenser is adjustable. For most water conditions,
the factory setting will give good results. If you have hard water
and notice calcium buildup on your dishware, you may want to
try a higher setting. If you notice foam in your dishwasher, use a
lower setting.
To adjust the setting:
Turn the arrow adjuster to a higher setting to increase the
amount of rinse aid.
