FACTORS AFFECTING PERFORMANCE
Rinse Aid
Rinse aid greatly improves drying and 
reduces water spots. 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 dispense 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 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 
dishwasher.
Water Temperature
Hot water is needed for best dishwashing and 
drying results. Water entering dishwasher 
should be at least 120
o
F (49
o
C) to give 
satisfactory results.
To check water temperature entering 
dishwasher:
•  Turn on hot water faucet nearest 
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 temperature is below 120
o
F (49
o
C), 
have a qualifi ed person raise the hot 
water heater thermostat setting.

NOTE
The use of industrial grade detergent can 
damage the heating coil and other parts of 
the dishwasher leading to damage to the 
unit and surrounding property. Use only 
household grade automatic dishwasher 
detergents.
