IMPORTANT: Extremely hard water mineral deposits (15 grains
per U.S. gallon or more) can cause damage to your dishwasher
and make it difficult to achieve good results. A water softener is
recommended to avoid damage and achieve good results.
NOTE: Follow instructions on the package when using other
dishwasher detergent types.
STEP 3
Rinse Aid
SLIDE
IMPORTANT: Your dishwasher is designed to use rinse aid. The
use of rinse aids greatly improves drying by allowing water to
drain from the dishes after the final rinse. Rinse aid also keeps
water from forming droplets that can dry as spots or streaks.
Filling the dispenser

The dispenser holds 5 oz (150 mL) of rinse
aid. Under most conditions this will last
1 to 3 months.
NOTE: Indicator reads correct fill level
when door is completely opened.

SLIDE
To add rinse aid, open the rinse
dispenser lid by gently
pushing in the center of the lid
with your thumb and pulling
up on the edge.
2. Pour rinse aid into the
opening until the dispenser
is full. Do not overfill.
3. Clean up any spilled rinse aid.
Spilled rinse aid can create excessive suds.
4. Then, close the dispenser by pushing down
gently on the lid.
Rinse Aid Setting
Your rinse aid dispenser is adjustable. For
most water conditions, the factory setting will
give good results. If you have hard water and
notice calcium buildup on your dishware, you
may want to try a higher setting. If you notice
foam in your dishwasher, use a lower setting.
To adjust the setting:
Turn the arrow adjuster to a higher number
to increase the amount of rinse aid.
