Add Rinse Aid
Your dishwasher is designed to use rinse aid for good drying
performance. Without rinse aid, your dishes and dishwasher interior
will have excessive moisture. The heat dry option will not perform
as well without rinse aid.
Rinse aid keeps water from forming droplets that can
dry as spots or streaks. It also improves drying by
allowing water to drain off of dishes after final rinse.
To add rinse aid, turn the
dispenser cap to "Refill" and lift
off. Pour rinse aid into the
opening until indicator level is at
"Full." Replace dispenser cap
and turn to "Lock." Make sure
cap is fully locked.
NOTE: For most water conditions,
the factory setting will give good
results.
Check water hardness level to ensure no rings
or spots on your dishware before adding rinse
aid or adjusting the factory setting.
If you are experiencing poor drying
performance, you may want to try a higher
setting.
Turn the arrow adjuster inside the dispenser to
change rinse aid setting.
This information covers several different models. Your dishwasher may not have all of the cycles and options described.
The most advanced and versatile cycle. ProWash™ cycle
senses the load size, soil amount, and toughness of soil, to
adjust the cycle for optimal cleaning using only the amount of
water and energy needed.
Use for hard-to-clean, heavily soiled pots, pans, casseroles,
and regular tableware.
This cycle is recommended to completely wash a full load of
normally soiled dishes. Selecting this cycle will default to the
options recommended for normal amounts of food soil. The
energy label is based on this cycle.
Use for lightly soiled items or china and crystal.
When you need fast results, the Express Wash will clean
dishes using slightly more water and energy. Select the Heat
Dry or ProDry™ option to speed drying times.
Use for rinsing dishes, glasses, and silverware that will not be
washed right away.
Do not use detergent.

Efficient dishwashers run longer to save water and energy, just as
