3. Top up with rinse aid
By using rinse aid you will improve your drying result. You will also
achieve a better dishwashing result with glassware and dishes.
Press to open
1 Open the rinse aid compartment lid.
2 Carefully top up with rinse aid. Only add rinse aid to the level marked
max .
3 Wipe up any splashes of rinse aid around the compartment.
4 Close the lid firmly.
Top up rinse aid
When the rinse aid needs topping up, the above symbol lights on the
display.
After topping up, it may take a while before the symbol goes out.
NOTE!
Increase the rinse aid dosage:
• If the dishes have water marks.
Decrease the rinse aid dosage:
• If the dishes have a sticky white/blue film.
• If the dishes are streaked.
• Build-up of foam. If you have very soft water, the rinse aid can be
diluted 50:50 with water.
NOTE!
For water with a hardness greater than 10–12 °dH, you ought to use
rinse aid with citric acid (known as acid rinse aid).
Loading the dishwasher
Energy-efficient dishwashing
Run programs only with a full load
Wait to run a program until the dishwasher is full. This way you save
energy. Use the Rinse and hold program to rinse the dishes if there
are any unpleasant odours while you wait for the dishwasher to become
fully loaded.
Run programs at a lower temperature
If the dishes are only slightly dirty, you can select a program with a low
temperature.
Select Green mode
The dishwasher has different program modes. To save energy and
water, use Green mode.
Better drying results are achieved if you open the door a little once the
program has ended. (If the dishwasher is built-in, the surrounding
cabinets must be resistant to any condensation from the dishwasher.)
Do not rinse under running water
Simply scrape off large food particles before loading the dishwasher.
Choose a green detergent
Read the environmental declaration on the packaging!
Connect to cold water
Connect the dishwasher to the cold water supply if the building is
heated using oil, electricity or gas.
Connection to hot water supply
Connect the dishwasher to the hot water supply (max. 70 °C) if the
building is heated using an energy-efficient means such as district
heating, solar power or geothermal power. Choosing a hot water con-
nection cuts dishwashing times and reduces the dishwasher's energy
consumption.
NOTE!
Do not exceed the permitted water supply temperature. Certain ma-
terials used in some cookware cannot withstand high heat.
