Changing the Amount of Rinse Agent 

Dispensed

See page 12 for instructions to change the amount 

of rise agent dispensed.
When to increase the amount dispensed:
•  When the dishes have water marks.
When to decrease the amount dispensed:
•  When the dishes have a sticky white/blue film.
•  When the dishes are streaked.
•  If heavy foaming occurs.
NOTE: If you have very soft water and still 

experience streaking when the dispenser is set to 

1, you can dilute the rinse agent with water up to a 

50:50 mix before pouring it into the dispenser to get 

acceptable results.

Operating Your Dishwasher 

Filling the Rinse Agent 

Dispenser

•  Rinse agent is important to the drying process 

of the dishware. It also reduces spotting. 

Dacor recommends that you keep the rinse 

agent dispenser full at all times. However, 

some customers with soft water may not 

need rinse agent. If you have soft water, your 

dishes may dry better without rinse agent.

•  If you use a dishwashing detergent containing 

a rinse agent additive, do not fill the rinse 

agent dispenser to avoid a film on the dishes.

•  When the rinse aid dispenser needs to be 

refilled, this symbol appears on the display.

•  The rinse agent dispenser must be 

properly adjusted. Too little rinse agent will allow 

spotting and drying problems. Too much rinse 

agent will cause foaming and streaking.

•  When the water hardness exceeds 3 gpg, you 

should use rinse agent with citric acid (acid rinse 

agent).

To refill the rinse agent dispenser:
1.  Press the (right) release button to open the rinse 

agent compartment lid.

2.  Carefully pour the 

rinse agent into the 

filler hole until the

rinse agent level is 

even with the end 

of the 

MAX arrow 

inside. Do  

not overfill.

3.  Wipe up any 

spillage.

4.  Close the rinse agent compartment lid firmly.
NOTE: 

After filling the 

rinse

 agent dispenser, it may 

take a few washes before the 

rinse

 agent indicator 

on the display goes off.
