Rinse Aid Dispenser

Rinse aids prevent water from forming droplets that can
dry as spots or streaks. They also improve drying by
allowing water to drain off of the dishes during the final
rinse by releasing a small amount of the rinse aid into the
rinse water. Your dishwasher is designed to use a liquid
rinse aid. Do not use a solid or bar-type.
Checking the dispenser
Check the center of the Fill Indicator cap. Clear means it
needs filling.
Or you can remove the Fill Indicator cap. If an "E" is visible,
the dispenser is empty.
Filling the dispenser
The rinse aid dispenser holds 6 oz (175 mL) of rinse aid.
Under normal conditions, this will last for about three
months. You do not have to wait until the dispenser is
empty to refill it. Try to keep it full, but be careful not to
overfill it.
1. Make sure the dishwasher door is completely open.
2. Remove the Fill Indicator cap.
3. Add rinse aid. Fill to the smallest opening in the lower
part of the dispenser. Overfilling can cause the rinse aid
to leak out, and could cause oversudsing.
4. Clean up any spilled rinse aid with a damp cloth.
5. Replace the Fill Indicator cap. Close tightly.

Dishwasher Efficiency Tips

Hot water dissolves and activates the dishwashing
detergent. Hot water also dissolves grease on dishes and
helps glasses dry spot-free. For best dishwashing results,
water must be at least 120°F (49°C) as it enters the
dishwasher. Loads may not wash as well if the water
temperature is too low.
To check water temperature
1. Run hot water at the faucet closest to your dishwasher
for at least 1 minute.
2. Place a candy or meat thermometer in a glass
measuring cup.
3. Check the temperature on the thermometer as the
water is running into the cup.
4. If the water temperature at the faucet is below 120°F
(49°C), have a qualified person raise the water heater's
thermostat setting.
To save water and energy, do not rinse dishes before
putting them into the dishwasher.
Use a low energy, quick, or short cycle whenever
possible. These cycles use less hot water and energy
than the Normal cycle.
Use a delay feature (on some models) to run your
dishwasher during off-peak hours. Local utilities
recommend avoiding heavy usage of energy at certain
times of day.
During the summer, run your dishwasher at night to
reduce daytime heat buildup.
Use an air dry, or an energy-saving dry option
whenever possible. Allow longer drying times
(overnight) when using these options. Use a rinse aid to
improve drying.
Use cycles or options that add extra heat to the wash
or rinse portion of the cycle only when needed.
Run your dishwasher with full loads. Run a rinse cycle
after meals until the dishwasher is full.
