    ,  Rinse  Aid
    R i n s e   A i dTo achieve proper drying, always use 
    a liquid rinse aid, even if your 
    detergent contains a rinse aid or 
    drying additive.
    Note: The dishwasher indicates low 
    rinse aid by turning on the Rinse Aid 
    indicator on the display 8. If this 
    indicator lights up, you need to refill 
    the rinse aid dispenser 9 by 
    following the directions below.
    Adding rinse aid
    NOTICE
    To avoid oversudsing or clogging, do 
    not overfill the rinse aid 
    dispenser 9. Wipe up any spills 
    with a damp cloth.
    1.Open the rinse aid dispenser 9 
    by pressing on the latch of the lid 
    and pull it open.
    2.Add liquid rinse aid to the 
    dispenser 9 until it is full. Do 
    not overfill.
    3.Close the lid. Lid must be fully 
    closed until it clicks in order to 
    seal.
    4.Wipe up any excess rinse aid that 
    may have puddled when the 
    dispenser reservoir is full.
    The indicator light will go out a few 
    moments after the dishwasher door 
    is shut.
    NOTICE
    Do not fill the rinse aid dispenser 9 
    with detergent. Doing so will damage 
    the dishwasher.
    Setting the amount of rinse 
    aid used
    The amount of rinse aid dispensed 
    can be set from §:‹‹ to §:‹‡. The 
    factory setting is §:‹†.
    You should only change the setting if 
    streaks remain on the dishes (lower 
    the amount), or if dishes are not 
    getting dry enough (increase the 
    amount).

    Glass and silverware 
    damage
    Causes:■Glass type.■Type of dishwasher detergent.■Water temperature of the wash 
    cycle.
    Recommendation:
    ■Use only glasses and porcelain 
    which the manufacturer 
    designates as dishwasher-safe.
    ■Use a detergent which protects 
    silverware.
    ■Use less intensive wash cycles 
    and take glass and silverware 
    out of the dishwasher as soon as 
    possible after the wash cycle 
    ends.
    Loading the racks
    For best dishwashing results, 
    observe the following when loading 
    the dishwasher:
    ■Do not pre-wash items with 
    loosely attached food soil. 
    ■Remove all food particles, bones, 
    toothpicks and excessive grease. 
    ■Pre-treat items having burned-on, 
    baked-on or starchy soils. 
    ■Load dishes in the dishwasher 
    racks so the insides of bowls, 
    pots and pans are facing the 
    spray arms. 
    ■Avoid nesting and contact points 
    between dishes. 
    ■Separate items of dissimilar 
    metals. Use care to not block 
    movement of the spray arms.
    ■Only wash household dishware 
    and kitchenware rated as 
    dishwasher-safe. 
    Refer to the Dishware Materials 
    section for more information 
    about dishware suitability.

    load the dishwasher with paper 
    products, plastic bags, packing 
    materials or anything other than 
    normal, dishwasher safe dishware 
    and kitchenware.
    Loading the upper rack
    Ensure items do not protrude through 
    the bottom of the racks and block the 
    spray arms.
    Note: When pushing the upper 
    rack 1* into the dishwasher, push it 
    until it stops against the back of the 
    tub so the upper rack spray 
    arm 12 connects to the water 
    supply at the back of the tub. Do not 
    push racks in using the door.
