MalnWash Pro-Wash Add Rinse Aid Your dishwasher is designed to use rinse aid for good drying performance. Without rinse aid your dishes and dishwasher interior will have excessive moisture. The heat dry option will not perform as well without rinse aid. Rinse aid keeps water from forming droplets that can 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. Check the rinse aid indicator. Add rinse aid when indicator drops to "Add" level or, when rinse aid indicator looks light. The light visual indicator means to add rinse aid, and the dark visual indicator means that there is sufficient rinse aid in the dishwasher. Dispenser with two lids - To add rinse aid, press "A" to open the cover. Fill the dispenser with rinse aid up to the dotted line. Close the cover. NOTE: For most water conditions, the factory setting of 2 will give good results. If you have hard water or notice rings or spots, try a higher setting. Turn the arrow adjuster inside the dispenser by either using your fingers or inserting a flat-blade screwdriver into the center of the arrow and turning.
