Switching the rinse aid sys-
tem off

If you find the rinse aid refill indicator
irritating, e.g. when using combined
detergents with a rinse aid compon-
ent, you can switch the rinse aid sys-
tem off.

Tip: 

The function of rinse aid is lim-

ited with combined detergents. You
will generally get better results using
rinse aid.

Suitable detergents

Only use detergents that are suitable
for dishwashers. Both separate and
combined detergents are suitable.
For optimum washing and drying res-
ults, use separate detergent, adding
"Special salt" → 

Page 29

 and "Rinse

aid" → 

Page 30

 separately.

Modern, powerful detergents mainly
use a low-alkaline formulation with
enzymes. Enzymes break down
starch and remove protein. Oxygen-
based bleaching agents are generally
used to remove coloured marks, e.g.
tea or ketchup.

Note: 

Follow the manufacturer's in-

structions for each detergent.
