Operating Instructions
Adjusting Rinse Aid Dispenser
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.
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.
There are 3 types 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.
Concentrated 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 a 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.

Operating Instructions
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.
Adding Detergent to Dispenser
A. For main wash detergent.
B. For pre-wash detergent.
Fill in Detergent
1. Fill the detergent dispenser with detergent. The marking indicates the dosing levels.
Note: Please observe the manufacturers dosing and storage Recommendations as stated on the
detergent packaging.
2. Close the lid and press until it locks in place.
3. If the dishes are heavily soiled, place an additional detergent dose in the pre-wash detergent
chamber. This detergent will take effect during the pre-wash phase.
NOTE:
• If the lid is closed: push the latch to open.
• Always add the detergent just before starting each wash cycle. Only use branded detergent and
rinse aid for dishwasher.
• Please be aware that soiling levels and water hardness can affect wash results.
•
Please observe the manufacturer's recommendations on the detergent packaging.
WARNING
Dishwasher detergent is corrosive. Take care to keep it out of reach of children.
