The use of rinse aids greatly improves drying by allowing water to drain from the dishes after the final rinse. They also keep water from forming droplets that can dry as spots or streaks. Do not use a solid or bar-type rinse aid. 4. 5. Filling the dispenser The rinse aid dispenser holds 5 oz (150 mL) of rinse aid.
Hot water dissolves and activates the dishwashing detergent. Hot water also dissolves grease on dishes and helps glasses dry spot-free. For best dishwashing results, water should be 120°F (49°C) as it enters the dishwasher. Loads may not wash as well if the water temperature is too low. Water that is too hot can make some soils harder to remove and cause certain detergent ingredients not to function.
Anytime during a cycle, press CANCEL/DRAIN. Your dishwasher starts a 2-minute drain, if needed, and clears all indicators. Let the dishwasher drain completely. You can customize your cycles by pressing an option. If you change your mind, press the option again to turn off the option, or select a different option if desired. NOTE: If your dishwasher does not need draining, the dishwasher stops and clears all indicators. You can change an option anytime before the selected option begins.
Delay start Drying Select this option to run your dishwasher at a later time or during off-peak hours. You can add items to the load anytime during the delay countdown. After adding items, close the door firmly until it latches. The delay countdown will not continue if the door is not latched. Press START/RESUME. If the door is unlatched, the Start/Resume indicator flashes. The delay countdown stops until you latch the door and press START/RESUME. To delay the start 1. Press DELAY for a 4-hour delay.

DISHWASHERCARE Cleaning the exterior In most cases, regular use of a soft, damp cloth or sponge and a mild detergent is all that is necessary to keep the outside of your dishwasher looking nice and clean. If your dishwasher has a stainless steel exterior, a stainless steel cleaner is recommended. Cleaning the interior Hard water minerals can cause a white film to build up on the inside surfaces, especially just beneath the door area. Do not clean the dishwasher interior until it has cooled.
TROUBLESHOOTING First try the solutions suggested here and possibly avoid the cost of a service call... • Dishwasher • Dishwasher is not operating properly Is the cycle complete? does not run or stops during a cycle Is the Start/Resume indicator flashing? Opening the door or interrupting the power stopped the cycle. Close the door and press START/RESUME.
