1. The salt container must be refilled when the salt warning light in the control panel comes 
on. Though the salt container is filled enough, the indicator light may not black out before 
the salt fully dissolve. If there is no salt warning light in the control panel (for some models), 
you can judge when to load the salt into the softener by the cycles that the dishwasher had 
run (see the following schema).
2. If there are spills of the salt, a soak program could be run to.

Function of Rinse Aid

Rinse aid is automatically added during the last rinse, ensuring thorough rinsing, spot and streak 
free drying.

Attention!

Only use branded rinse aid for dishwasher. Never fill the rinse aid dispenser with any other 
substances (e.g. dishwasher cleaning agent, liquid detergent). This would damage the appliance.

When to Refill the Rinse Aid Dispenser

If there is no rinse-aid warning light on the control panel, you can judge the amount of rinse-aid by 
the color of the optical level indicator "D" located next to the cap. When the rinse-aid container is full, 
the whole indicator will be dark .As the rinse aid diminishes, the size of the dark dot decreases. You 
should never let the rinse aid get below 1 / 4 full.

As the rinse aid diminishes, the size of the black dot
on the rinse aid level indicator changes, as illustrated below.
      Full
      3 / 4 full
      1 / 2 full
      1 / 4 full - Should refill to eliminate spotting

RINSE AID DISPENSER

      

To open the dispenser, turn the cap to the "open" (left) arrow and lift it out. 

      Pour the rinse aid into the dispenser, be careful not to overfill.
      Replace the cap by inserting it aligned with "open" arrow and turning it to the  "closed" (right)
      arrow.

The rinse aid is released during the final rinse to prevent water from forming droplets on your dishes 
that can leave spots and streaks. It also improves drying by allowing water to sheet off the dishes.
Dishwashers are designed to use liquid rinse aids. The rinse aid dispenser is located inside the 
door next to the detergent dispenser. 
To fill the dispenser, open the cap and pour the rinse aid into the dispenser until the level indicator 
turns completely black. The volume of the rinse aid container is about 140ml.
Be careful not to overfill the dispenser, because this could cause over sudsing. Wipe away any spills 
with a damp cloth. Don't forget to replace the cap before you close dishwasher door.

Attention!

Clean up any rinse aid split during filling with an absorbent cloth to avoid excess foaming during the 
next wash.

Adjusting Rinse Aid Dispenser

The rinse aid dispenser has four or six settings. Always start with 
the dispenser set on "4" If spots and poor drying are problems, 
increase the amount of rinse aid dispensed by removing the 
dispenser lid and rotating the dial to "5". If the dishes still are not
drying properly or are spotted, adjust the dial to the next higher 
number until your dishes are spot-free. The dose is factory set in 
the position 5.

NOTE: 

Increase the dose if there are drops of water or lime spots on the dishes after washing. 

Reduce it if there are sticky whitish streaks on the dishes or a bluish film on glassware or knife 
blades.

Detergents with its chemical ingredients are necessary to remove dirt, crush dirt and transport it out 

of the dishwasher. Most of commercial 

quality detergents are suitable for this purpose.

Concentrated Detergent

Based on their chemical composition, dishwasher can be split in two basic types:

conventional, alkaline detergents with caustic components
low alkaline concentrated detergents with natural enzymes

The use of "Eco" washing programme in conjunction with concentrated detergents reduces pollution 
and is good for your dishes; these washing programmes are specially matched to the dirt-dissolving 
properties of the enzymes of the concentrated detergent. For this reason"Eco" washing programme 
in which concentrated detergents are used can achieve the same results that can otherwise only be 
achieved using"intensive" programme.

Detergent Tablets

Detergent tablets of different brands dissolve at different speeds. For this reason some detergent
