CAUTION
Wipe any spilled rinsing aid with a wiping cloth, so that excessive suds are not formed in the
following wash. Do not forget to put the lid back on before closing the dishwasher door.
Setting dial (rinse)
The rinsing aid compartment has six diff erent settings. Its factory level setting is 3. If stains form on the dishes
or if there is a problem with drying the dishes, increase the released amount of the rinsing aid by removing
the lid and turning the dial to "4". If despite this step the dishes are not without stains after drying, adjust the
setting again to a higher level until the dishes are clean after drying. If rinsing aid residues remain on the
dishes, reduce the level to 1 – 2. The recommended setting is "3". (The value set by the manufacturer is "3".)
NOTE:
If there are water drops or scale stains on the dishes after the wash, increase the dosage. If there are
white stains or blueish layers on glasses or knife blades, lower the dosage.
Function of the detergent
Dishwashing detergents with their chemical additives are essential for the removal of soils, their decomposition
and removal from the dishwasher. For this purpose the majority of commercial quality dishwashing detergents
are suitable.
Dishwashing detergents
There are 3 types of dishwashing detergents:
1. containing phosphates and chlorine;
2. containing phosphates and without chlorine;
3. without phosphates and without chlorine.
New dishwashing detergents usually do not contain phosphates and so the softening function of the
phosphates is missing. In such a case we recommended the use of a softening salt even when the water
hardness is a mere 6°dH. If you use dishwashing detergents without phosphates and have hard water, this
leads to the frequent appearance of white stains on dishes and glasses. In such a case you will therefore
achieve better results if you add more dishwashing detergent. Chlorine-free dishwashing detergents whiten
only slightly. For this reason strong and colourful stains will not be completely removed. In such a case select
a program with a higher temperature.
