Add Rinse Aid (Dispenser varies by model)
Your dishwasher is designed to use rinse aid for good drying
■
performance. Without rinse aid your dishes and dishwasher
interior will have excessive moisture. The Heat Dry option will
not perform as well without rinse aid.
Rinse aid keeps water from forming droplets that can dry as
■
spots or streaks. They also improve drying by allowing water to
drain off of the dishes after the final rinse.
Rinse aid helps to reduce excess moisture on the dish racks
■
and interior of your dishwasher.
Check the rinse aid indicator.
■
(varies by model) Add rinse aid
when indicator drops to "Add"
level.
To add rinse aid, turn the
■
dispenser cap to "Open" and
lift off. Pour rinse aid into the
opening until the indicator
level is at "Full." Replace the
dispenser cap and turn to
"Lock." Make sure cap is fully
locked.
On some models, add rinse
■
aid by opening the rinse
dispenser lid by gently
pushing in the center of the
lid with your thumb and
pulling up on the edge. Pour
rinse aid into the opening
until the dispenser is full.
Then, close the dispenser by
pushing down gently on the
lid.
NOTE: For most water conditions, the factory setting will give good
results. If you have hard water or notice rings or spots, try a
higher setting. Turn the arrow adjuster inside the dispenser by
either using your fingers or inserting a flat-blade screwdriver into
the center of the arrow and turning.

Select a Cycle (cycles vary by model)
Efficient dishwashers run longer to save water and energy, just as
driving a car slower saves gas. Cycle times may increase or
decrease depending on selections. Estimated cycle times after
calibration are listed in the "Cycle and Options Descriptions" chart
in the following section. Select the desired cycle by pressing the
Cycles button. Each time you press the Cycles button it will
advance to the next available cycle.

The indicator light will glow blue for
wash, red for dry, or green for cycle
