Factors affecting performance Using rinse aid Rinse aid greatly improves drying and reduces water spots and filming. Without rinse aid, your dishes and dishwasher interior will have excessive moisture. In addition, the heated dry option will not perform as well without rinse aid. The rinse aid dispenser, located next to the detergent cup, automatically releases a measured amount of rinse aid during the last rinse. If spotting and poor drying is a problem, increase the amount of rinse aid dispensed by rotating the dial to a higher number. The dial is located under the dispenser cap. If the rinse aid is low, the rinse aid light turns on at the beginning and end of the cycle indicating that it is time to refill. Refer to Filling the rinse aid dispenser on page 21. Water temperature Hot water is required for optimum dishwashing and drying results. Water entering the dishwasher should be at least 120° F (49° C) to achieve satisfactory results. To check the water temperature entering the dishwasher: 1 Turn on the hot water faucet near the dishwasher and let it run for several minutes. 2 Hold a thermometer (a candy or meat thermometer will work) in the water stream to check the temperature. If temperature is below 120° F (49° C), have a qualified person raise the hot water heater thermostat setting. Important: To make sure that the water entering the dishwasher is hot, run hot water from the nearest hot water faucet to clear cool water from the pipe before starting the cycle. Heat dry option CAUTION: Plastic dishes could melt/deform due to the heat, especially if placed in the lower rack. The heat dry option, when used with a rinse aid, enhances drying performance. If you do not choose the heat dry option, items in your load may not be completely dry at the end of the cycle. 22 www.insigniaproducts.com
