Safety first: No special safety concerns beyond normal use.

- 2. Adjust softener and rinse aid: If using multi-function tablets (3-in-1, etc.), reduce or disable separate salt and rinse aid dosing if your manual allows.
- 3. Run hot cycles: Run one or two hot cycles without dishes, using no detergent, to help remove existing film.
