Why is rinse aid important and how do I add it?

Rinse aid is essential for good drying performance—without it, dishes will have excessive moisture and spotting will occur. To add rinse aid, turn the dispenser cap to 'Open' and lift it off, pour rinse aid into the opening until the indicator reaches 'Full,' then replace the cap and turn to 'Lock,' ensuring it is fully locked.
