Dispensers
Check the Water Temperature
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.
Use a Rinse Agent
High quality rinse agents such as
Power Dry™ Rinse Aid or
are designed for great drying action and to protect against
spots and film build-up on your dishes, glasses, flatware,
cookware, and plastic.
NOTE: You may hear some unusual, high-pitched
beeping when rinse aid is being dispensed. This is
normal.
When to Fill the Rinse Agent Dispenser
If the indicator glows or flashes
bright red, refill rinse aid.
If the indicator glows or flashes
dimly or not at all, you do not need
to refill, there is enough rinse aid
for the wash.
NOTE: Lighter colored rinse
aids will not dim the indicator as
effectively as darker ones.
Filling the Rinse Agent Dispenser
The rinse agent dispenser holds 1.7 oz. of rinse agent.
Under normal conditions, this will last approximately one
month.
The rinse aid dispenser is on the inside of the drawer,
underneath the detergent dispenser.

Rinse Aid Setting
You may need to adjust the amount of rinse aid
dispensed in each wash to suit your water conditions.
The lowest setting is 0 (off), the highest is 5.
If there is excessive foam at the end of the wash, reduce
the setting.
If dishes are wet or streaky after drying, increase the
setting.
If you live in a hard water area and you have no water
softener installed in your water supply or built into your
dishwasher, we recommend adjusting the rinse aid
setting to 5.
