Cautions and notes for using rinse aid:

 • It is recommended to use only liquid rinse aid. Powdered rinse aid may clog the reservoir opening and cause the dishwasher to malfunction.

 • Do not overfill the rinse aid reservoir, as this may cause the rinse aid to overflow during a cycle.

 • Do not apply detergent to the rinse aid reservoir.
