Press Enter once added, or press Cancel to ignore.. ### Can I clear Add rinse aid. Press Enter once added, or press Cancel to ignore. myself? Open the rinse aid dispenser and refill it to the fill line. If it comes back, it needs a visit. ### Can this message be dismissed without adding rinse aid? Yes, Cove's own guide gives a Cancel option, though performance and spotting on glassware usually suffer until rinse aid is actually added. ### Does the detergent already include rinse aid? Some combined detergents include a form of rinse aid, but Cove's own troubleshooting for drying issues still checks that the dedicated dispenser has rinse aid in it even when a combined product is used. ### How often does the dispenser need refilling? It depends on the dosage setting and how many cycles are run; a household seeing the message often can check the dosage setting described in the user setup section of the guide. --- **[Read on the site: Cove — add rinse aid | ApplianceMaintenance.center](https://appliancemaintenance.center/error-codes/cove-add-rinse-aid/)** **[Book a visit with ApplianceMaintenance.center](https://appliancemaintenance.center/schedule/)**
