Rinse Aid Dispenser

IMPORTANT: Your dishwasher is designed to use a liquid rinse
aid. The use of rinse aids greatly improves drying by allowing
water to drain from the dishes during the final rinse. They also
prevent water from forming droplets that can dry as spots or
streaks. Do not use a solid or bar-type rinse aid.
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 3 months. You do not
have to wait until the dispenser is empty to refill it. Try to keep it
full, but be sure 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 should be 120°F
(49°C) as it enters the dishwasher. Loads may not wash as well if
the water temperature is too low. Water that is too hot can make
some soils harder to remove and cause certain detergent
ingredients not to function. If your water heater is located far from
the dishwasher, it may be necessary to run the hot water at the
faucet closest to the dishwasher to minimize the amount of cold
water in the water line.

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.
To save water, energy and time, do not rinse dishes before
putting them into the dishwasher.
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. This
reduces daytime heat buildup in the kitchen.
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.
If your home is equipped with a water softener, you may want
to avoid starting the dishwasher during the regeneration of
the softener, since this may contribute to poor wash
performance.
