Rinse Aid Dispenser
Rinse aids prevent water from forming droplets that can dry as spots or streaks. They also improve drying by allowing water to drain off of the dishes during the final rinse by releasing a small amount of the rinse aid into the rinse water. Your dishwasher is designed to use a liquid rinse aid. Do not use a solid or bar-type rinse aid.

Dishwasher Efficiency Tips
Hot water dissolves and activates the dishwashing detergent. Hot water also dissolves grease on dishes and helps glasses dry spot-free. For best dishwashing results, water should be 120°F (49°C) as it enters the dishwasher. Loads may not wash as well if the water temperature is too low. Water that is too hot can make some soils harder to remove and cause certain detergent ingredients not to function. If your water heater is located far from the dishwasher, it may be necessary to run the hot water at the faucet closest to the dishwasher to minimize the amount of cold water in the water line.

Checking the dispenser
Check the center of the fill indicator cap. Clear means it needs filling.

To check water temperature
1. Run hot water at the faucet closest to your dishwasher for at least 1 minute. 2. Place a candy or meat thermometer in a glass measuring cup. Or you can remove the fill indicator cap. If an �E� is visible, the dispenser is empty.

Filling the dispenser
The rinse aid dispenser holds 6 oz (175 mL) of rinse aid. Under normal conditions, this will last for about 3 months. You do not have to wait until the dispenser is empty to refill it. Try to keep it full, but be sure not to overfill it. 1. Make sure the dishwasher door is completely open. 2. Remove the fill indicator cap. 3. Add rinse aid. Fill to the smallest opening in the lower part of the dispenser. Overfilling can cause the rinse aid to leak out, and could cause oversudsing.

3. Check the temperature on the thermometer as the water is running into the cup.

Additional efficiency tips

To save water and energy and time, do not rinse dishes before putting them into the dishwasher. Use a low energy, quick, or short cycle whenever possible. These cycles use less hot water and energy than a normal cycle. Use a delay feature (on some models) to run your dishwasher during off-peak hours. Local utilities recommend avoiding heavy usage of energy at certain times of day. During the summer, run your dishwasher at night. This reduces daytime heat buildup in the kitchen. Use the energy-saving dry option whenever possible. Allow longer drying times (overnight) when using these options. Use a rinse aid to improve drying. Use cycles or options that add extra heat to the wash or rinse portion of the cycle only when needed. Run your dishwasher with full loads. Run a rinse cycle after meals until the dishwasher is full. If your home is equipped with a water softener, you may want to avoid starting the dishwasher during the regeneration of the softener, since this may contribute to poor wash performance.
