adding rinse aid
Rinse aid helps to ensure water does not cling and leave marks on crockery during the drying phase
and helps crockery dry faster after it has been washed. Only pour rinse aid that is for domestic
dishwashers into the reservoir. This model is designed to use liquid rinse aids only.
Please follow the steps below to pour the rinse aid into the storage reservoir, and the amount will
dispense automatically.
1. Turn the cap and open as indicated.
2. When the cap open marking is aligned, you
may lift the cap up.
3. Pour the rinse aid in until the level indicator
turns completely black in colour and close
the cap.
4. Be careful not to overfill the reservoir. Wipe
up any spills.
adjusting the rinse aid reservoir
The rinse aid reservoir has six settings. Both the recommended
setting and the factory setting is “4”. If the dishes are not drying
properly or are spotted, adjust the dial to the next higher number
until your dishes are spot-free.
• If the water hardness in your area is soft, you may not need rinse aid as it may cause
white film to develop on your dishes.
• If you decide to use a detergent tablet, you do not need to add rinse aid into the rinse
aid reservoir.
• Rinse aid warning indicator will illuminate when the reservoir is running out of rinse
aid and requires refilling.
• Alternatively, you can judge the amount of rinse aid by checking the rinse aid indicator
next to the reservoir cap. When the indicator is black, it means it is full. When it is
clear, it means it is almost empty.
• If there is some rinse aid residue left in the washing
compartment or your dishes, turn the rinse aid
dispenser dial to 1.
