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 dis-
penser lid and rotating the dial to
“5” . If the dishes still are not
drying properly or are spotted,
adjust the dial to the next higher
number until your dishes are spot-free. The recommended set-
ting is
“4”. (Factory value is “4”.)
Remark!: 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.
Detergents
Detergents with 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.
Normally new pulverised detergent is without phosphate, thus
he water softener function of phosphate is not given. In this
case we recommend to fill salt in the salt container even when
the hardness of water is only 6 ∞dH. If detergents without phos-
phate were used in case of hard water often white spots appear
at 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 removed completely. In this case please
choose a program with 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 program in combination with concen-
trated detergent reduces pollution and is good for your dishes.
Detergent Tablets
Detergent tablets of different brands dissolve at different speeds.
For this reason some detergent tablets cannot dissolve and de-
velop their full cleaning power during short Programs. Therefore
please use long programs when using detergent tablets, to en-
sure the complete removal of detergent residuals.
Detergent Dispenser
The dispenser must be refilled before the start of each wash cy-
cle following the instructions provided in the Wash Cycle Table .
Your dishwasher uses less detergent and rinse aid then conven-
tional 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 dis-
solve properly.

Function of Rinse Aid
Rinse aid is automatically added during the last rinse, ensuring
thorough rinsing, and spot and streak free drying.
Attention!: Only use branded rinse aid for dishwasher. Never
fill the rinse aid dispenser with any other substances (e.g. Dish-
washer cleaning agent, liquid detergent). This would damage
the appliance.
When to Refill the Rinse Aid Dispenser
If there is no rinse-aid warning light in the control panel, you
can judge the amount of rinse-aid by the color of the optical
level indicator
“C“ located next to the cap. When the rinse-aid
container is full, the whole indicator will be dark. As the rinse-aid
diminishes, the size of the dark dot decreases. You should never
let the rinse aid get below 1/4 full.
As the rinse aid diminishes, the size of the black dot on the
rinse aid level indicator changes, as illustrated below.
