FAQs
Do I need to add rinse aid or salt when using these tablets?

Troubleshooting
Dishes are not completely clean
Ensure the dishwasher is not overloaded. Check that the spray arms are not blocked and can rotate freely. For very hard water areas, ensure the dishwasher's salt reservoir is filled.
White residue on glasses or dishes
This could indicate a need for dishwasher salt or rinse aid. Check and refill these compartments if necessary. Ensure the rinse aid dispenser is not empty.
Tablet did not dissolve completely
Check that the tablet was placed in the correct dispenser compartment and that the dispenser door can open fully during the cycle. Ensure no items are obstructing the dispenser.
Dishwasher is not draining properly
This is a general dishwasher issue. Check the filter for blockages and clean it if necessary. Ensure the drain hose is not kinked.
Unpleasant odor in the dishwasher
Run an empty hot cycle with a dishwasher cleaner or a cup of white vinegar. Ensure the dishwasher filter is clean.
