Rinse aids prevent water from forming droplets that can dry as 
spots or streaks. They also improve drying by allowing water to 
drain off of the dishes during the final rinse by releasing a small 
amount of the rinse aid into the rinse water. Your dishwasher is 
designed to use a liquid rinse aid. Do not use a solid or bar-type.

Check the center of the Fill Indicator cap. Clear means it needs 
filling.

Or you can remove the Fill Indicator cap. If an “E” is visible, the 
dispenser is empty.

The rinse aid dispenser holds 6 oz (175 mL) of rinse aid. Under 
normal conditions, this will last for about three months. You do 
not have to wait until the dispenser is empty to refill it. Try to keep 
it full, but be careful not to overfill it.

Make sure the dishwasher door is completely open.

Remove the Fill Indicator cap.

Add rinse aid. Fill to the smallest opening in the lower part of 
the dispenser. Overfilling can cause the rinse aid to leak out, 
and could cause oversudsing.

Clean up any spilled rinse aid with a damp cloth.

Replace the Fill Indicator cap. Close tightly.

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 must be at least 
120°F (49°C) as it enters the dishwasher. Loads may not wash as 
well if the water temperature is too low.

Run hot water at the faucet closest to your dishwasher for at 
least 1 minute.

Place a candy or meat thermometer in a glass measuring 
cup.

Check the temperature on the thermometer as the water is 
running into the cup.

If the water temperature at the faucet is below 120°F (49°C), 
have a qualified person raise the water heater’s thermostat 
setting.

■

To save water, energy and time, do not rinse dishes before 
putting them into the dishwasher.

■

Use a low energy, quick, or short cycle whenever possible. 
These cycles use less hot water and energy than the Normal 
Wash cycle.

■

Use a delay feature (on some models) 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 the energy-saving dry option whenever possible. Allow 
longer drying times (overnight) when using these options. 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.

■

Run your dishwasher with full loads. Run a rinse cycle after 
meals until the dishwasher is full.

■

If your home is equipped with a water softener, you may want 
to avoid starting the dishwasher during the regeneration of 
the softener, as this may contribute to poor wash 
performance.

Select the wash cycle and options desired. The dishwasher starts 
filling once you press a cycle, unless you select a delay wash. 
You can select an option as the machine is filling.

After a wash cycle, the dishwasher remembers the options used 
and uses the same options in the next wash cycle unless new 
options are selected or Cancel/Drain is selected.

A “●” shows what steps are in each cycle. Your model may have 
some or all of the cycles shown. 

Temperatures indicate where extra heat is added.

Water usage is shown in U.S. gallons/liters.

Cycle time includes dry time. An asterisk ( * ) by the cycle time 
indicates the cycle time might be longer depending on the 
temperature of the water entering the dishwasher. The cooler the 
water, the longer the cycle time. If the water is already hot 
enough, the cycle time will be as shown.
