Factors Affecting Performance - Kenmore 587.1401 Serie Guía De Uso Y Cuidada

Dishwasher Dispenser & Detergents
Soft Water
(0-3 grains)
2 teaspoons
(each cup-
1/4 full)
Note: For very hard water, detergent alone may not be enough. A water softener is
recommended to reduce detergent use and to improve water quality and dishwashing
performance. Otherwise, try adding more detergent at the beginning of the main wash portion
of the cycle. As a rule, use 1 teaspoon for each grain above 12. Unlatch the door, open slowly
and add detergent to the bottom of the tub. Close the door to latch and the dishwasher will
continue through the cycle.
Factors Aff ecting Performance
Rinse Aid
Rinse aid greatly improves drying,
reduces water spots, fi lming, and
lubricates wash arm bearing for proper
rotation. With it water "sheets" off dishes
rather than forming water droplets that
cling and leave spots.
A dispenser, located next to the detergent
cup, automatically releases a measured
amount of rinse aid during the last
rinse. If spotting and poor drying are
problems, increase the amount of rinse aid
dispensed by rotating the dial to a higher
number. The dial is located under the
dispenser cap. The indicator will be dark
when full and will show clear when it is
time to refi ll.
To add liquid rinse aid, turn dispenser cap
1/4 turn counterclockwise and lift out.
Pour in rinse aid until liquid touches the
indicated fi ll level Replace cap.
Do not overfi ll since this can cause
oversudsing. Wipe up any spills with a
damp cloth.
The dispenser holds enough for 35 to 140
washes, depending on setting.

Water Pressure
The hot water supply line to dishwasher
must provide water pressure between 20
and 120 psi.
Low Water pressure may occur when
laundry or showers are in operation. If
you experience poor wash performance
you may need to wait until water use is
reduced before starting the dishwasher.
