Rinse aid 

Rinse aid is automatically added during the last rinse, ensuring
thorough rinsing, and spot and streak free drying. 
The dispenser, which is positioned inside the door, holds about
110 ml of rinse aid, which is sufficient for 16 - 40 dishwashing
programmes, depending upon the dosage setting. 

Filling with rinse aid

1. Open the container by pressing the release button (A). 

2. Add the rinse aid until the container is completely full. The 

maximum level for filling is indicated by "max". 

Ensure that the lid is closed after every refill. 

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

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

Adjusting the dose 

According to the finish and drying results obtained, adjust the
dose of rinse aid by means of the 6 position selector (position
1 minimum dosage, position 6 maximum dosage). 

The dose is factory set in
position 4.

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.

Top up the rinse aid when REFILL RINSE AID appears in the
display.

This occurs only during the setting mode and at the end of the
washing programme, during the progress of the washing
programme the indication for rinse aid refilling is not active.

If you are using dishwasher detergent that already contains 
rinse aid, the detergent including the rinse aid must be 
placed in the detergent compartment. In this case the 
rinse aid dispenser must be deactivated in order to avoid a 
double dosage.

Deactivation/activation of the rinse aid
dispenser

Factory setting: rinse aid dispenser activated.

Follow the instructions given in the paragraph "The control
panel", how to set the various options. 

Press more times the option selection button until the
message RINSE AID is displayed; to deactivate the dosage
select NO.
