Safety Instructions Operating Instructions Using the dishwasher. Check the Water Temperature The entering water should be at least 120°F and not more than 150°F, for effective cleaning and to prevent dish damage. Check the water temperature with a candy or meat thermometer. Turn on the hot water faucet nearest the dishwasher, place the thermometer in a glass and let the water run continuously into the glass until the temperature stops rising. Use Jet-Dry ® or Cascade Crystal Clear ® Rinse Agent Jet-Dry® or Cascade Crystal Clear ® rinse agents remove spots and prevent new film buildup on your dishes, glasses, flatware, cookware and plastic. Filling the Dispenser The rinse agent dispenser holds 3.5 oz. of rinse agent. Under normal conditions, this will last approximately one month. Refill when rinse agent is not visible in the indicator. Do not overfill. 1 Make sure the dishwasher door is fully open. 2 Turn the dispenser cap to the left and lift it out. 3 Add rinse agent until the indicator window looks full. Do not overfill. 4 Clean up any spilled rinse agent with a damp cloth to prevent foam. 5 Replace the dispenser cap.
