Improving performance
Using rinse aid
Rinse aid greatly improves drying and reduces water spots and filming. Without rinse aid, your dishes and dishwasher
interior will have excessive moisture. In addition, the heated dry option will not perform as well without rinse aid. The rinse
aid dispenser, located next to the detergent cup, automatically releases a measured amount of rinse aid during the last
rinse.
If spotting and poor drying is a problem, increase the amount of rinse aid dispensed by rotating the dial to a higher
number. The dial is located under the dispenser cap.
If the rinse aid is low, the rinse aid light turns on at the beginning and end of the cycle indicating that it is time to refill.
Refer to Filling the rinse aid dispenser
on page 11.
Water temperature
Hot water is required for optimum dishwashing and drying results. Water entering the dishwasher should be at least 120° F
(49° C) to achieve satisfactory results.
To check the water temperature entering the dishwasher:
1 Turn on the hot water faucet near the dishwasher and let it run for several minutes.
2 Hold a thermometer (a candy or meat thermometer will work) in the water stream to check the temperature. If
temperature is below
120° F (49° C), have a qualified person raise the hot water heater thermostat setting.
Heat dry option
The heat dry option, when used with a rinse aid, enhances drying performance. If you do not choose the heat dry option,
items in your load may not be completely dry at the end of the cycle.
Water pressure
For optimum performance, the hot water supply line for your dishwasher must provide water pressure of at least 20 psi
and not more than 100 psi. You may experience low water pressure during high-demand periods, such as when laundry or
showers are in use while you are washing the dishes. To eliminate this problem, wait until hot water demand is reduced
before starting the dishwasher.
Important: To make sure that the water entering the dishwasher is hot, run hot water from the nearest hot water faucet to clear cool
water from the pipe before starting the cycle.
CAUTION: Plastic dishes could melt/deform due to the heat, especially if placed in the lower rack.
