24 FAQs FAQs Common Product Questions Is a rinse aid required to be used? Rinse aid is strongly recommended to enhance the drying performance of the dishwasher. In order to be more energy efficient, the hybrid drying system does not utilize a heating element in order to assist in drying, so a rinse aid plays an integral role in the dry process. If a rinse aid is not used, water may remain on the dishes and the tub.

FAQs The clean light indicator on the dishwasher will stay lit for 4 minutes before turning off. You can, however, program the dishwasher so that the clean light stays on until the dishwasher door opens. Why does my dishwasher continuously beep if I open the door during a cycle or right after the cycle has finished? This is normal. The dishwasher is letting you know that the interior temperatures of the unit are hot and to use caution when placing your hands inside.
