Prior Using for the First Time
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 completely 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.
CAUTION:
Clean up any rinse aid split during filling with an absorbent cloth to avoid excess
foaming during the next wash.
Adjusting Rinse Aid Dispenser
Adjust the amount of rinse aid released during the rinse
operation.
You can choose one of four levels (1-4). The higher the number,
the larger the amount of rinse aid released. The factory default
is 4.

The use of a rinse aid greatly improves the drying performance after the final rinse.
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 “normal” washing programmes in conjunction with concentrated detergents reduces
pollution and is good for your dishes; these wash programmes are specially matched to the
dirt-dissolving properties of the enzymes of the concentrated detergent. For this reason “normal”
wash programmes in which concentrated detergents are used can achieve the same results that
can otherwise only be achieved using “intensive” programmes.
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 complete removal of
detergent residuals.
Detergent dispenser
The dispenser must be refilled before the start of each washing cycle following the instructions
provided in the Wash Cycle Table. Your dishwashers use less detergent and rinse aid than
conventional dishwashers. Generally, only one tablespoon of detergent is needed fora normal
wash load. Also, more heavily soiled items need more detergent. Always add the detergent just
before starting dishwasher, otherwise it could get damp and will not dissolve properly.
