NOTE :
Clean up any rinse aid spilled while during filling with an absorbent cloth to avoid excessive foaming during the
next wash. Don’t forget to replace the cap before you close dishwasher door.
The rinse aid dispenser has six or four settings. Always start with the
dispenser set on "4". 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 "5". If the dishes still are not drying properly or are
show spots, adjust the dial to the next higher lever until your dishes
are spot-free. The recommended setting is "4". (Factory value is "4".)
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.

B. Detergent
Detergents have chemical ingredients that are necessary to remove dirt, crush dirt and transport it out of the
dishwasher. Most of the commercial quality detergents are suitable for this purpose.
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. 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.
Conentrated Detergent
Based on their chemical composition, detergents can be split in two basic types:
• Conventional, alkaline detergents with caustic components
• Low alkaline concentrated detergents with natural 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.
Proper Use of Detergent
Use only detergent specifically made for the use in dishwashers. Keep your detergent fresh and dry. Don’t put
powdered detergent into the dispenser until you’re ready to wash dishes.
WARNING!
Dishwasher detergent is corrosive! Take care to keep it out of reach of children.
