As a rule, use 1 teaspoon for each grain above 12. For very hard water, detergent alone
may not be enough and then a water softener is recommended to improve water
quality and dishwashing performance.
The HEAT DRY option in combination
with rinse aid will enhance drying
Rinse Aid
Rinse aid greatly improves drying,
reduces water spots, filming, and
lubricates wash arm bearing for proper
rotation. With it water “sheets” off dishes
rather than forming water droplets that
cling and leave spots.
performance. The energy required to use
the HEAT DRY option costs pennies per
cycle. You may choose not to select the
HEAT DRY option; however you will have
items in your dish load that will not be
completely dry at the end of the cycle.
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.
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. If
you experience poor wash performance
you may need to wait until water use is
reduced before starting dishwasher.
To add liquid rinse aid, turn dispense cap
1/4 turn counterclockwise and lift out.
Pour in rinse aid until liquid touches the
indicated fill level Replace cap.
Water Temperature
Hot water is needed for best dishwashing
and drying results. Water entering
dishwasher should be at least 120oF
(49oC) to give satisfactory results.
Do not overfill since this can cause
oversudsing. Wipe up any spills with a
damp cloth.
To check water temperature entering
dishwasher:
The dispenser holds enough for 35 to 140
washes, depending on setting.
