USE RINSE AID FOR DRIER, CLEARER DISHES

Rinse aid is a drying agent that helps improve dishwasher drying performance and reduce water spots on dishes. It only needs to be refilled once every several washes. Many all-in-one detergent packs contain small amounts of rinse aid, but regular liquid rinse aid should still be used. 

 

WHAT DOES RINSE AID DO?

Rinse aid is dispensed during the final rinse of the cycle to help water run off dishes and the interior of the unit, promoting better drying. This reduces the formation of water droplets that leave behind spots, as well as streaks and white residue.
