step 2. Make sure the Cycle hdicator Did is at

Gd Dkhwastig Starts tith HOT Water
To get dishes clean and dry, you need hot water. For good washing and drying,
the entering water must beat least 120°F. To prevent dish @age, idet water shotid not exceed 150°F.
How to Test Water Temperature
Check your water temperature with a candy or meat
thermometer. Turn on the hot water faucet nearest
the dishwasher.
Put the thermometer in a glass and
let the water run continuously into the glass until the
temperature stops rising. If the water temperature is
below 120°F., adjust your water heater.
Helpfti Mnti: If outside temperatures are unusually
low, or if your water travels a long distance from water
heater to dishwasher, you may need to set your water
heater’s thermostat up.
E you have not used hot water
for some time, the water in the pipes will be cold.
~
on the hot water faucet at the sink and Mow it to mn
until the water is hot. Then start the dishwasher. If
you’ve
recentiy done laundry or run hot water for
showers, give your water heater time to recover before
operating the dishwasher.
To improve washability if
tie water is less than 120°F.
and you cannot adjust your water heater: Select a
longer cycle or the WASH ~AT BOOST option and
fill both detergent cups at least
hrdf-fu~ witi detergent.
How to Use a -e Agent
The rinse agent makes water flow off dishes
quicker than usual. This lessens water spotting
and makes drying faster, too.
For best
dishwashing performance, use of a rinse
agent such as
~T-DRY brand is recommended.
Rinse agents come in either liquid or
sofid form.
Your dishwasher uses the
hquid form.
How to fl the rinse agent dispenser:

You may check to see if you need to add rinse agent
by removing the fill cap and looking into the

some models, by pressing
