Continued use of too much detergent may

instructions for a further information. 

4.9.  Filling the detergent

Push the latch to open the dispenser and 

pour in the detergent.

4.10.  Using combined detergents

These products should be used according 

to the manufacturer’s instructions. 

Never put combined detergents into the 

interior section or the cutlery basket.

Combined detergents contain not only 

the detergent but also rinse-aid, salt 

replacement substances and additional 

components depending on the combination. 

We recommend you do not use combined 

detergents in short programmes. 

Please use powder detergents in such 

programmes.

If you encounter problems when using 

combined detergents, please contact the 

detergent manufacturer.

When you stop using combined detergents, 

make sure that water hardness and rinse 

aid settings are set to the correct level.

4.11.  Rinse-aid usage

The rinse aid helps to dry the dishes without 

streaks and stains. Rinse-aid is required for 

stain-free utensils and clear glasses. The 

rinse aid is automatically released during 

the hot rinse phase.  If rinse aid dosage 

setting set too low, whitish stains remains 

on dishes and dishes do not dry and 

washed clean. 

If rinse aid dosage setting set too height, 

you can see bluish layers on glass and 

dishes. 

4.12.  Filling the rinse-aid and setting

To fill the rinse aid compartment, open 

the rinse-aid compartment cap. Fill the 

compartment with rinse aid to the MAX level 

and then close the cap. Be careful not to 

overfill the rinse aid compartment and wipe 

up any spills.

In order to change the rinse aid level, 

follow the below steps before turning on 

the machine:

• Open the door of the machine.
• ·Turn on the machine, and press the

Programme button as soon as the

machine is turned on.

• Hold down the Programme button

until “rA” disappears. Rinse aid setting

follows water hardness setting.


The machine will display the last setting.
Change the level by pressing the

programme button.

• Turn off the machine to save the setting.
The factory setting is “4”.

If the dishes are not drying properly or are 

spotted, increase the level. If blue stains 

form on your dishes, decrease the level.
