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.
■ To add rinse aid, turn the dispenser cap
to “Refill” and lift off. Pour rinse aid into
the opening until the indicator level is at
“Full.” Replace the dispenser cap and
turn to “Lock.” Make sure cap is fully
locked.
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.
