13 OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS Rinse Aid Water Pressure 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 by rotating the dial to a higher number. The dial is located under the dispenser cap. The indicator will be dark when full and will show clear when it is time to refill. To add liquid rinse aid, turn dispense cap 1/4 turn counterclockwise and lift out. Pour in rinse aid until liquid touches the indicated fill level. Replace cap. 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 Hot water is needed for best dishwashing and drying results. Water entering dishwasher should be at least 120oF (49oC) to give satisfactory results. To check water temperature entering dishwasher: • Turn on hot water faucet nearest dishwasher for several minutes to clear cool water from pipes. Do not overfill since this can cause oversudsing. Wipe up any spills with a damp cloth. • Hold a candy or meat thermometer in the water stream to check the temperature. The dispenser holds enough for 35 to 140 washes, depending on setting. Dispenser Opening Indicator • 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 pipe. Dispenser Cap Drying Tip  NOTE Adjustable Setting The use of industrial grade detergent can damage the heating coil and other parts of the dishwasher leading to damage to the unit and surrounding property. Use only household grade automatic dishwasher detergents. * Select the Normal Wash and High Temp options along with a Rinse Aid agent for improved drying performance.
