Rinse Aid
 
 
 
 
 
Rinse aid greatly improves drying and reduces 
water spots and filming. Water "sheets" off 
dishes rather than forming water droplets that cling 
and leave spots. 
A dispenser, located next to the detergent cup, 
automatically releases a measured amount of 
rinse aid during the last rinse. If spotting and poor 
drying are problems, increase the amount of rinse 
aid dispensed by rotating the dial to a higher 
number. The dial is located under the dispenser 
cap. The indicator will be dark when full and will 
show clear when it is time to refill. 
To add liquid rinse aid, turn dispenser cap 1/4 turn 
counterclockwise and lift out. Pour in rinse aid until 
liquid touches the indicated fill level. Replace cap.
 
Do not overfill since this can cause over-sudsing. 
Wipe up any spills with a damp cloth.
The dispenser holds enough for 35 to 140 washes, 
depending on setting.

Water Pressure  
 
 
 
The hot water line to dishwasher must provide 
water pressure between 20 and 120 psi. 
Low water pressure may occur when laundry or 
showers are in operation. Wait until water use is 
reduced before starting dishwasher.
Water Temperature
Hot water is needed for best dishwashing and 
drying results. Water entering dishwasher should 
be at least 120° F (49° C) to give satisfactory 
results.  
 
To check water temperature entering dishwasher:
•  Turn on hot water faucet nearest dishwasher for 
several minutes to clear cool water from pipes. 
•  Hold a candy or meat thermometer in stream of 
water to check the temperature. 
•  If temperature is below 120° F (49° C), have 
a qualified person raise the hot water heater 
thermostat setting.
Important: Before starting a cycle, run hot 
water to clear cool water from pipe.
