Getting my pool up and running and figure I should backwash the DE filter. I know how to get the filter into backwash mode where the water and material is discharged out the waste line by pulling up on the plunger in front of the filter and rotating it. I read about then switching to rinse mode. I am not sure how to do this. Here is a pic of my setup. Thanks for any help:

The rinse position is on a multi-port valve for sand filters. It allows the dirty water remaining after a backwash to go to waste and re-settle the sand bed. Your push/pull valve is either filter or backwash only
