Good Dishwashing Starts with HOT Water
To get dishes clean and dry, you need hot water. For good washing and drying,
the entering water must be at least
120°F. To prevent dish damage, inlet water should not exceed 150°F.
How to Test Water Temperature
Check your water temperature with a candy or meat
Helpful hints: If outside temperatures are unusually
thermometer. Turn on the hot water faucet nearest low, or if your water travels a long distance from water
the dishwasher. Put the thermometer in a glass and
heater to dishwasher, you may need to set your water
let the water run continuously into the glass until the heater’s thermostat up. If you have not used hot water
temperature stops rising. If the water temperature is
for some time, the water in the pipes will be cold. Turn
below
120°F., adjust your water heater. on the hot water faucet at the sink and allow it to run
until the water is hot. Then start the dishwasher. If
you’ve recently done laundry or run hot water for
showers, give your water heater time to recover before
operating the dishwasher.
To improve washability if the water is less than
120°F.
and you cannot adjust your water heater: Select a
longer cycle and fill both detergent cups at least
half-
full with detergent.
How to Use a Rinse Agent
The rinse agent makes water flow off dishes
quicker than usual. This lessens water spotting
and makes drying faster, too.
For best dishwashing performance, use of a rinse
agent such as JET-DRY brand is recommended.
Rinse agents come in either liquid or solid form.
Your dishwasher uses the liquid form.
How to fill the rinse agent dispenser.

on the tip of the cap. Add liquid rinse
agent until it just reaches the top of the ,
FULL line. Replace the cap. The

rinse agent into the final rinse water.
Your dishwasher’s rinse agent container holds
approximately 4fi ounces. This should last about
3 months. Fill as needed.
If you accidentally spill: Wipe up the rinse
agent with a damp cloth. Don’t leave the
spill in the
dishwasher. It can keep your detergent from working.
