FACTORS AFFECTING PERFORMANCE
Rinse Aid
Rinse aid greatly improves drying, reduces water spots, filming. 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. The indicator will be dark when full and will show clear when it is time to refill.
To add liquid rinse aid, open the cover. Pour in the rinse aid until liquid touches the indicated fill level. Close the cover.
Do not overfill since this can cause over-sudsing. Wipe up any spills with a damp cloth.
The dispenser holds enough for 11 to 66 washes, depending on the setting.
Before starting a cycle, run hot water to clear cool water from the pipe.
The HEAT DRY option in combination with rinse aid will enhance drying performance. The energy required to use the HEAT DRY option costs pennies per cycle. You may choose not to select the HEAT DRY option; however you will have items in your dish load that will not be completely dry at the end of the cycle.
How to adjust the rinse aid dosage
Press and hold the RINSE ONLY and DELAY START pad for 5 seconds until the status window shows rinse aid level. Pressing the DELAY START pad increases the increment level (L0-L6).
Once the rinse-aid level reaches L6, the status window will start back at level L0.
Pressing the START button or just pausing for a few seconds confirms the rinse aid level setting: the status window shows the duration of the cycle.
Water Pressure
The hot water line to the 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.
Water Temperature
Hot water is needed for best dishwashing and drying results. Water entering the dishwasher should be at least 120oF (49oC) to give satisfactory results.
To check water temperature entering dishwasher:
- Turn on the hot water faucet nearest the dishwasher for several minutes to clear cool water from pipes.
- Hold a candy or meat thermometer in the water stream to check the temperature
- If the temperature is below 120oF (49oC), have a qualified person raise the hot water heater thermostat setting
