Benefits of using a Rinse Aid

  • Rinse aid greatly improves drying, reduces water spots, filming. With it, water “sheets” off dishes rather than forming water droplets that cling and leave spots.
  • NOTE: Not selecting the AIR DRY option in combination with rinse aid will enhance drying performance. The energy required to use the AIR DRY option saves pennies per cycle. You may choose to select the AIR DRY option; however you will have items in your dish load that will not be completely dry at the end of the cycle.

How to add/refill Rinse Aid

  • The dispenser is located next to the detergent cup, automatically releases a measured amount of rinse aid during the last rinse.
  • The indicator will be dark when full and will show clear when it is time to refill. To add liquid rinse aid, open the cover. Pour in rinse aid until liquid touches the indicated fill level. Close the cover.
  • Be careful to not overfill since this can cause oversudsing. Wipe up any spills with a damp cloth.
  • NOTE: If spotting and poor drying are problems, increase the amount of rinse aid dispensed.
