Rinse aid

This liquid gives the dishes a shiny  finish and 
improves drying. It is automatically added during the
hot rinse. The dispenser, which is positioned inside
the door, holds about 110 ml of rinse aid, which is 
sufficient for 16-40 dishwashing programmes, 
depending upon the dosage setting.

Filling with rinse aid

Open the container by turning the lid (A) anticlockwise.
Add rinse aid until the container is completely full
(approx. 110 ml). The indicator (B) will be completely
dark. 

Top up with rinse aid when the indicator (B) becomes
clear (approx. 70 - 80 ml).

Remember to CLOSE the lid after every refill.

Caution

Clean up any rinse aid spilt during filling with an 
absorbent cloth to avoid excess foaming during the
next wash. 

Adjusting the Dose

According to the finish and drying results obtained, 
adjust the dose of rinse aid by means of the 6 position 
selector (C) (position 1 - minimum dose, position 6 -
maximum dose). 

Gradually increase the dose if there are drops of water or
lime spots on the dishes after washing. Reduce it if there
are sticky whitish streaks on the dishes. 

Caution: Do not put liquid detergent into the rinse aid
compartment.

Use of detergent

Before starting any of the dishwashing programmes,
except for the rinse and hold programme, load the
detergent in the dispenser. 
Use only tablets, powder or liquid detergents specifically
designed for domestic dishwashers. 
Unsuitable detergents (such as those for washing by
hand) do not contain the right ingredients for machine
washing and hamper correct functioning of the 
machine. 
To open the dispenser lid, pull the catch (D). This will
open it. 

To help you to correctly
dose the right amount of
detergent, inside the con-
tainer there are two refer-
ence marks.

- MIN = 15 ml
- MAX = 30 ml

After filling the dispenser with detergent, close the lid.
At the end of any washing programme the lid is 
always open, ready for the next wash.

All the programmes with a
prewash require a small
amount of detergent of ap-
proximately 5g to be
poured in the SID located
in the centre of the upper
basket.

For the intensive programme

For this programme, suitable for particularly dirty pans
and dishes, is selected, an extra 10g of detergent must
be placed in the SID .

Pull out the basket and add detergent.

Important: Never use your dishwasher without the
SID dispenser.

Since SID also ensures correct distribution of the 
water to the upper spray arm, running the dishwasher
without it will impair the washing results.
The amount of detergent to be used varies depending
on how soiled the dishes are and the type of dishes
being washed. We recommend the amounts shown in
the «Washing programmes» chart.
Since not all detergents are the same, you should 
also consult the instructions on the packet. 
Remember that insufficient quantities of detergent will
produce poor washing results whereas an excessive
amount of detergent does not improve washing 
results and is also wasteful. 
Using no more than the correct amount of 
detergent also contributes to reducing pollution.
