TOPPING UP WITH RINSE AID
Drying will be faster if you use rinse aid. The
rinse-aid indicating lamp on the panel will light
when the rinse-aid container becomes empty.*
There is also an indicator on the dispenser. See
the figure. There is sufficient rinse aid available
if the indicator is completely black. If the size
of the black dot is reduced, the container should
be topped up. Turn and lift the lid of the rinse-
aid container, to the right of the dispenser, and
fill with rinse aid until the indicator is comple-
tely black. Adjust the amount of rinse aid needed
for each run as required in accordance with the
instructions below. Remember to close the lid.
CHOOSE THE DOSE
The dispenser is normally set at 1, but it may
be necessary to adjust depending on hardness
of the water.
Open the rinse-aid lid to gain access to the
setting knob of the dispenser. Set between 1 and
6, ie, the harder the water the higher the setting.
If the water supply in your area indicates
hardness higher than 10 to 12°dH, a rinse aid
containing citric acid (acidic rinse-aid) should
preferably be used, ie, if the machine is not equip-
ped with its own water softener. Set the dispen-
ser for soft water if your machine has a softener.
Excessive use of rinse aid can result in lather.
If the water in your area is very soft, you can
suitably dilute the rinse aid with an equal amount
of water.
Too much rinse aid will cause streaks
on the dishware, while too little may re-
sult in drying marks.
