Rinse Aid
Using a rinse aid makes water flow off the dishes better. This lessens water spotting and filming and improves drying. For best dishwashing performance, using a rinse aid is recommended, Rinse aids come in either solid or liquid form. When using a solid rinse aid such as Jet Dry, fasten it to the back right corner of the lower rack. Purchase new rinse aid when the solid material dissolves and the container is empty,
Loading
the Dishwasher
Helpful Hints: Always load items on the racks so they are separated and face the center to insure the water spray will reach the soiled surfaces. Do not allow items to extend out of the racks. Make sure the movement of the upper and lower
spray arms is not blocked by items hanging below the lower rack or tall articles in the upper rack. Do not block the center area of the lower rack. A center wash tower extends through this area to improve cleaning. cups by
When using a liquid form, the rinse aid dispenser (Select Models) automatically releases a measured amount of rinse aid into the final rinse.
Insure the free flow of water to the detergent not blocking with large items. On the following various loading pages are illustrations possibilities.

To fill, turn the dispenser cap counterclockwise to open. Remove the cap and pour the liquid rinse aid into the opening. Depending on how often the dishwasher is used, it should last about three months. The level of the rinse aid should be checked periodically. An 'E' appearing in the bottom of the reservoir indicates the dispenser is empty and needs to be refilled,

Preparing
the Dishes
If this is your first dishwasher, or if you're replacing a much older model, you may wonder how much preparation your dishes need. Actually very little. Prerinsing of normal food soils is not necessary. With common sense and a little practice, you'll soon know what foods to remove. Here are some guidelines: 1. Scrape off bones, skins, toothpicks and other hard or large food solids. Remove excessive quantities of oil or grease. 2. Remove large quantities of any food. Your dishwasher has a built-in soft food disposer that chops soft food bits and flushes them away. It can handle small amounts of soft foods, but large amounts will be difficult to handle. You may hear chopping noises during the cycle. This is normal. 3. For burned-on soil, it may be necessary to pre-soak or lightly scour the item before loading. Remember to use the Rinse & Hold cycle (Select Models) for small "holding" loads. 4. Since certain foods such as mustard, mayonnaise, vinegar, lemon juice and other acidic foods can cause discoloration on stainless steel, it is recommended to rinse these soils off susceptible flatware.
