IMPORTANT: Extremely hard water mineral deposits (15 grains
per U.S. gallon or more) can cause damage to your dishwasher
and make it difcult to achieve good results. A water softener is
recommended to avoid damage and achieve good results.
NOTE: Follow instructions on the package when using other
dishwasher detergent types.
STEP 3
Rinse Aid
SLIDE
IMPORTANT: Your dishwasher is designed to use rinse aid. The
use of rinse aids greatly improves drying by allowing water to
drain from the dishes after the nal rinse. Rinse aid also keeps
water from forming droplets that can dry as spots or streaks.

Rinse Aid Setting
Your rinse aid dispenser is adjustable. For most
water conditions, the factory setting will give
good results. If you have hard water and notice
calcium buildup on your dishware, you may
want to try a higher setting. If you notice foam in
your dishwasher, use a lower setting.
To adjust the setting:
Turn the arrow adjuster to a higher number to
increase the amount of rinse aid.
