*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.
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. Rinse aid also keeps 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.
NOTE: Indicator reads correct fill level when
door is completely opened.
1. To add rinse aid, open the
rinse 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.

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 number to
increase the amount of rinse aid.
