Q: QuestionHow much jet dry fills reservoir
Asked by Anonymous.
- A:Answer We recommend using the rinse agent dispenser. A rinse aid is essential for good drying. Be sure to fill the dispenser before you use your new dishwasher. A full dispenser holds about 5 oz (150-175 mL) or rinse aid and should last about a month.^Tanisha

- A:Answer Hi there! We understand your inquiry regarding the installation of the LG 24" Front Control Built-In Tub Dishwasher (LDFN4542S). To answer your question directly, this unit is typically secured to the side cabinets or the underside of the countertop using the included mounting brackets rather than being anchored to the floor. We understand the importance of a stable installation, especially when using the 3rd Rack and Quadwash features. For countertops made of granite or other hard surfaces where top-mounting isn't ideal, side-mounting is the standard recommendation to prevent the unit from shifting forward. https://www.bestbuy.com/product/lg-24-front-control-built-in-tub-dishwasher-with-3rd-rack-quadwash-and-48dba-stainless-steel/J7G56535CW For further assistance and any specific concerns you may have, please contact us on [email protected]. —Renzo
