14 Dishwasher Dispenser & Detergents Rinse Aid How to adjust the rinse aid dosage Rinse aid greatly improves drying, reduces water spots, filming, and lubricates wash arm bearing for proper rotation. With it water "sheets" off dishes rather than forming water droplets that cling and leave spots. A dispenser, located next to the detergent cup, automatically releases a measured amount of rinse aid during the last rinse. If spotting and poor drying are problems, increase the amount of rinse aid dispensed. The indicator will be dark when full and will show clear when it is time to refill. To add liquid rinse aid, open the cover. Pour in rinse aid until liquid touches the indicated fill level. Close the cover. Do not overfill since this can cause oversudsing. Wipe up any spills with a damp cloth. The dispenser holds enough for 11 to 66 washes, depending on setting. The rinse aid dosage is indicated by the flashing of LEDs: HI-TEMP, SANITIZE, AIR DRY and MAX DRY. Press and hold the RINSE pad for 5 seconds untilone of the following combinations of LEDs are flashing: Level 1: HI-TEMP LED flashes Level 2: HI-TEMP and SANITIZE LEDs flash Level 3: HI-TEMP, SANITIZE and AIR DRY LEDs flash Level 4: HI-TEMP, SANITIZE, AIR DRY and MAX DRY LEDs Flash Pressing "DELAY" pad changes the Level. Once the Rinse-Aid Level reaches 4, the level will loop back to level 1. Factors Affecting Performance Water Pressure Indicator Rinse Aid Compartment The hot water line to dishwasher must provide water pressure between 20 and 120 psi. Low water pressure may occur when laundry or showers are in operation. If you experience poor wash performance you may need to wait until water use is reduced before starting dishwasher. Water Temperature Rinse Aid Cover Hot water is needed for best dishwashing and drying results. Water entering dishwasher should be at least 120oF (49oC) to give satisfactory results. Not selecting the AIR DRY option in combination with rinse aid will enhance drying performance. The energy required to use the AIR DRY option saves pennies per cycle. You may choose to select the AIR DRY option; however you will have items in your dish load that will not be completely dry at the end of the cycle. To check water temperature entering dishwasher: • Turn on hot water faucet nearest dishwasher for several minutes to clear cool water from pipes. • Hold a candy or meat thermometer in the water stream to check the temperature. • If temperature is below 120oF (49oC), have a qualified person raise the hot water heater thermostat setting. IMPORTANT Before starting a cycle, run hot water to clear cool water from pipes.
