Using the dishwasher.
The entering water should be at least 120°F and not more than 150°F for effective cleaning and to
prevent dish damage. Check the water temperature with a candy or meat thermometer. Turn on the
hot water faucet nearest the dishwasher, place the thermometer in a glass and let the water run
continuously into the glass until the temperature stops rising.

Filling the Dispenser
The rinse agent dispenser holds 3.5 oz. of rinse agent.
Under normal conditions, this will last approximately
one month. Try to keep it full, but do not overfill.
Make sure the dishwasher door is fully open.
Turn the dispenser
cap to the left and
lift it out.
Add rinse agent until
the indicator window
looks full.
Clean up any spilled
rinse agent with a
damp cloth.
Replace the dispenser cap.
Rinse Aid Setting
The amount of rinse agent released into the final
wash can be adjusted. The factory setting is at the
midpoint. If there are rings of calcium (hard water)
spots on dishes, try a higher setting. If there is
foaming, use a lower setting.
To adjust the setting:
Remove the dispenser cap;
then turn the adjuster
counterclockwise to
increase the amount
of rinse agent or
clockwise to reduce
the amount of rinse agent dispensed.
