Adjusting the Rinse Aid Dispenser

The rinse aid dispenser has four scales. Always start 
with the dispenser set on "3". If spots and poor drying 
are  a    problem,  increase  the  amount  of  rinse  aid 
dispensed by removing the dispenser lid and rotating 
the  dial  to  "4".  The  recommended  setting  is  "3". 
(Factory value is "3".) 

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  stains  on  your  dishes  or  a 
bluish film on glassware or knife blades.

Detergents

There are 3 sorts of detergents: 

1. With phosphate and with chlorine
2. With phosphate and without chlorine
3. Without phosphate and without chlorine 

Normally  new  pulverised  detergent  is  without 
phosphate.  Thus  the  water  softener  function  of 
phosphate is not given. In this case we recommend to 
fill salt in the salt container even when the hardness of 
water is only 6 °dH. If detergents without phosphate 
are used in the case of hard water often white spots 
appear on dishes and glasses. In this case please add 
more  detergent  to  reach  better  results.  Detergents 
without  chlorine  do  only  bleach  a  little.  Strong  and 
coloured spots will not be removed completely. In this 
case  please  choose  a  program  with  a  higher 
temperature. 

Concentrated Detergent

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

Conventional,  alkaline  detergents  with  caustic 

Ÿ

components
Low alkaline concentrated detergents with natural 

Ÿ

enzymes 

The use of“normal” washing programs in combination 
with concentrated detergents reduces pollution and is 
good  for  your  dishes;  these  wash  programs  are 
specifically matched to the dirt-dissolving properties 
of the enzymes of the concentrated detergent. For this 
reason “normal”wash programs in which 

concentrated  detergents  are  used  can  achieve  the 
same  results  that  can  otherwise  only  be  achieved 
using “intensive” programs. 

Detergent Tablets

Detergent  tablets  of  different  brands  dissolve  at 
different  speeds.  For  this  reason  some  detergent 
tablets cannot dissolve and develop their full cleaning 
power during short programs. Therefore please use 
long  programs  when  using  detergent  tablets,  to 
ensure the complete removal of detergent residuals.

Detergent Dispenser

The dispenser must be refilled before the start of each 
wash cycle following the instructions provided in the 
wash  cycle  table.  Your  dishwasher  uses  less 
detergent  and  rinse  aid  than  Conventional 
dishwasher.  Generally,  only  one  tablespoon  of 
detergent  is  needed  for  a  normal  wash  load.  More 
heavily soiled items need more detergent. Always add 
the  detergent  just  before  starting  the  dishwasher, 
otherwise  it  could  get  damp  and  will  not  dissolve 
properly.

Adding detergent to Dishwasher

If the lid is closed: press release button. The lid will 

Ÿ

spring open.
Always add the detergent just before starting each 

Ÿ

wash cycle.
Only use branded detergent aid for dishwasher.
