The rinse aid is released during the final rinse to prevent water from forming droplets on
your dishes that can leave spots and streaks. It also improves drying by allowing water to
sheet off the dishes. Your dishwashers are designed to use liquid rinse aids. The rinse aid
dispenser is located inside the door next to the detergent dispenser. To fill the dispenser,
open the cap and pour the rinse aid into the dispenser until the level indicator turns com-
pletely black. The volume of the rinse aid container is about 140ml. Be careful not to overfill
the dispenser, because this could cause over sudsing. Wipe away any spills with a damp
cloth. Don’t forget to replace the cap before you close dishwasher door.
Attention!
Clean up any rinse aid split during filling with an absorbent cloth to avoid excess foaming
during the next wash.
Adjusting Rinse Aid Dispenser
The rinse aid dispenser has four or six settings. Always start with the dispenser set on “4” If
spots and poor drying are problems, increase the amount of rinse aid dispensed by remov-
ing the dispenser 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
dose is factory set in position 5.
NOTE: Increase the dose if there are drops of water or lime spots on the dishes after wash-
ing. Reduce it if there are sticky whitish streaks on the dishes or a bluish film on glassware
or knife blades.
Function of Detergent
Detergents with its chemical ingredients are necessary to remove dirt, crush dirt and
transport it out of the dishwasher. Most of commercial quality detergents are suitable for
this purpose.
Concentrated Detergent
Based on their chemical composition, dishwasher can be split in two basic types:
conventional, alkaline detergents with caustic components low alkaline concentrated
detergents with natural enzymes
The use of “Eco” washing programme in conjunction with concentrated detergents reduces
pollution and is good for your dishes; these washing programmes are specially matched
to the dirt-dissolving properties of the enzymes of the concentrated detergent. For this
reason”Eco” washing programme in which concentrated detergents are used can achieve
the same results that can otherwise only be achieved using”intensive” programme.
Detergent Tablets
Detergent tablets of different brands dissolve at different speeds. For this reason some
detergent cannot dissolve and develop their full cleaning power during short programmes.
Therefore please use long programmes when using detergent tablets, to ensure the com-
plete removal of detergent residuals.
