Premeasured Detergents

spots or streaks.

Your rinse aid dispenser is adjustable. For most water conditions,
the factory setting of 2 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.
