A water softener is recommended to improve water quality and dishwashing performance. Try adding more detergent at the beginning of the main wash portion of the cycle. 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. NOTE 12 FACTORS AFFECTING PERFORMANCE Rinse Aid Rinse aid greatly improves drying and reduces water spots and filming. 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 indicator will be dark when full and will show clear when it is time to refill. On models with a STATUS window, LO will appear at the end of the cycle indicating that it is time to refill. To add liquid rinse aid, turn dispenser cap 1/4 turn counterclockwise and lift out. 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. 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°F (49°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 stream of water to check the temperature. · If temperature is below 120°F (49°C), have a qualified person raise the hot water heater thermostat setting. IMPORTANT Before starting a cycle, run hot water to clear cool water from pipe. Dispenser Opening Indicator 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.
