IMPORTANT:

Your dishwasher

is designed

to use a liquid rinse aid. The use of rinse aids greatly

improves

drying

by allowing

water to

drain from the dishes

after the final rinse. They also keep water from forming

droplets

that can dry as spots

or streaks.

Do not use a

solid or bar-type

rinse aid.

Filling

the

dispenser

The rinse aid dispenser

holds 5 oz (150 mL) of rinse aid. Under

normal conditions,

this will last for about

1 to 3 months.

1.

Make sure the dishwasher

door is fully open.

2.

Turn the dispenser

knob to "Open"

and lift it out.

Rinse aid setting

The amount of rinse aid released

into the final rinse can be

adjusted.

For most water conditions,

the factory

setting

of 2 will

give good results.

If you have hard water or notice rings or

calcium

spots

on your glasses

or dishes, try a higher setting.

3.

Pour rinse aid into the opening

until the indicator

points to

"Full."

Do not overfill.

(When the rinse aid indicator

drops

to

the "Add"

level, add more rinse aid.)

Add

To

adjust

the setting

1.

Remove the dispenser

knob.

2.

Turn the arrow adjuster

inside the dispenser

to the desired

setting

by either using your fingers

or inserting a flat-blade

screwdriver

into the center of the arrow and turning.

3.

Replace the dispenser

knob.

Hot water dissolves

and activates

the dishwashing

detergent.

Hot water

also dissolves

grease on dishes

and helps glasses

dry spot-

free. For best dishwashing

results, water should

be 120°F (49°@ as it enters the dishwasher.

Loads may not wash as well if the water

temperature

is too low. Water that is too hot can make some soils harder to remove and cause certain

detergent

ingredients

not to

function.

If your water heater is located

far from the dishwasher,

it may be necessary

to run the hot water at the faucet

closest

to the

dishwasher

to minimize the amount

of cold water in the water line.

To check water temperature

Additional efficiency tips

1.

Run hot water at the faucet

closest

to your dishwasher

for at

least 1 minute.

2.

Place a candy or meat thermometer

in a glass measuring

cup.

3.

Check the temperature

on the thermometer

as the water

is

running

into the cup.

•

To save water, energy and time, do not rinse dishes

before

putting

them into the dishwasher.

•

Use a delay feature to run your dishwasher

during off-peak

hours. Local utilities

recommend

avoiding

heavy usage of

energy at certain times

of day.

•

During the summer,

run your dishwasher

at night. This

reduces

daytime

heat buildup

in the kitchen.

•

Use a rinse aid to improve drying.

•

Use cycles

or options

that add extra heat to the wash or rinse

portion

of the cycle only when needed.

•

If your home is equipped

with a water softener,

you may want

to avoid starting the dishwasher

during the regeneration

of

the softener,

since this may contribute

to poor wash

performance.
