The heat dry option will not perform as well without rinse aid. ■ Rinse aid keeps water from forming droplets that can Full dry as spots or streaks. They also improve drying by allowing water to drain off of the dishes after the final rinse. ■ Rinse aid helps to reduce excess moisture on the dish racks and interior of your dishwasher.
