• To adjust the rinse aid setting, rotate the dispenser cover (ref. A fig. 5-04) through
a quarter turn in an anticlockwise direction and remove it.
• Then use a screwdriver to rotate the rinse aid selector to the desired position.
• Replace the cover (ref. A fig. 5-04) by turning it in a clockwise direction until it is
fully closed.
• The amount of rinse aid must be increased if the washed dishes appear dull or
feature circular stains.
• If, on the other hand, the dishes are sticky or have white streaks, it is necessary to
reduce the rinse aid setting.
5.2.3 Adding the detergent
DO NOT INHALE OR SWALLOW DETERGENT AS THIS MAY CAUSE
BURNS AND/OR PERMANENT DAMAGE TO THE NOSE, MOUTH AND
THROAT, AND EVEN LEADING TO SUFFOCATION; KEEP DETERGENT
AWAY FROM YOUR EYES. IF ONE OF THE ABOVE SITUATIONS OCCURS,
SEEK MEDICAL ASSISTANCE IMMEDIATELY.
PREVENT CHILDREN FROM COMING INTO CONTACT WITH DETER-
GENT;
KEEP THEM AWAY FROM THE DISHWASHER WHEN THE DOOR IS
OPEN AS IT MAY CONTAIN DETERGENT RESIDUES. FILL THE DISH-
WASHER JUST BEFORE STARTING THE WASHING CYCLE AND THEN
KEEP THE DETERGENT OUT OF THE REACH OF CHILDREN.
To open the detergent dispenser cover, lightly press the relative button (ref. A fig.
5-05). Add the detergent and close the cover carefully, pushing down on the arrow
(ref. B fig. 5-05). During the washing cycle, the dispenser will be opened automati-
cally.

• When a program with hot prewash is selected (see program table in the “De-
scription of Controls” manual), extra detergent must be placed in the cavity (ref.
A or B fig. 5-06, depending on models).
• Only use dishwasher-specific detergents. For optimal washing results it is impor-
tant to use a good quality detergent.
• The detergent packs must be sealed and stored in a dry place to prevent the for-
mation of lumps which may negatively affect washing results. Once opened the
detergent packs should not be kept for too long, otherwise the detergent loses
its effectiveness.
• Do not use detergents formulated for washing dishes by hand, because they
produce a great deal of foam and may negatively affect the operation of the
dishwasher.
• Add the correct amount of detergent. An insuffici t amount of detergent will
result in a partial removal of dirt from the dishes, whereas an excessive amount
is wasteful and does not improve the washing results.
• The market offers liquid and powder detergents with differing chemical compo-
sitions, which may contain phosphates, or be phosphate-free but contain natu-
ral enzymes.
• Detergents containing phosphates are more effective against grease and starch
at temperatures above 60°C (140°F).
• Enzyme detergents, on the other hand, are also effective at lower temperatures
(from 40 to 55°C / from 104 to 131°F) and are more easily biodegradable. With
enzyme detergents it is possible to obtain at low temperatures comparable re-
sults to those which can only be achieved at 65°C (149°F) using traditional de-
tergents. For the safeguarding of the environment we recommend the use of
phosphate- and chlorine-free detergents.
