2. That the inlet valve is open .
3. That there is no leakage at the connections of the
conducts.

PRIOR TO USING FOR THE FIRST TIME
Before using your dishwasher for the first time:
Fill the Rinse Aid Dispenser
The rinse aid is released during the final rinse to
prevent water from forming droplets on your dishes,
which can leave spots and streaks. It also improves
drying by allowing water to roll off the dishes. Your
dishwasher is 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 completely black. The volume of
the rinse aid container is about 140ml.
Function of the Rinse Aid
Rinse aid is automatically added during the last rinse,
ensuring thorough rinsing, and spot and streak free
drying.
WARNING!
Only use branded rinse aid for dishwasher. Never fill
the rinse aid dispenser with any other substances
(e.g. Dishwasher 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.
