Operating Instructions

PRIOR TO USING FOR THE FIRST TIME

A. FILL THE RINSE

AID DISPENSER

RINSE AID DISPENSER

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 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
110ml.

FUNCTION OF RINSE AID

Rinse aid is automatically added during the last rinse, ensuring thorough
rinsing, and spot and streak free drying.

ATTENTION

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 DISPENSER

The amount of rinse aid can be judged 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 black. As the rinse-aid diminishes, the size of
the dark dot decreases. You should never let the rinse aid get below 1 / 4
full.

As the rinse aid diminishes, the sizeof the black dot on the rinse aid level
indicator changes, as illustrated below.

To open the dispenser, turn the cap to the "open" (left) arrow and lift it out.

Pour the rinse aid into the dispenser, being careful not to overfill.
Replace the cap by inserting it aligned with "open" arrow and turning it to the closed (right) arrow.

ATTENTION

Clean up any rinse aid
spills during filling with
an absorbent cloth to
avoid excessive foaming
during the next wash.
Don't forget to replace
the cap before you close
dishwasher door.

Operating Instructions

PRIOR USING FOR THE FIRST TIME

ADJUSTING RINSE AID DISPENSER

The rinse aid dispenser has four settings.The recommended setting is on
"3". If the dishes still are not drying properly or are spotted, adjust the dial
to the next higher number on "4".

NOTE: Increase the dose if there are drops of water or lime spots on the
dishes after washing. Reduce it if there are sticky whitish stains on your
dishes or a bluish film on glassware or knife blades.

B. FUNCTION OF

DETERGENT

PROPER USE OF DETERGENT

• Detergents with chemical ingredients are necessary to remove dirt and

remove it from the dishwasher.

• Use only detergent specifically made for use in dishwashers. Keep your

detergent fresh and dry.

• Don't put powder detergent into the dispenser until you're ready to wash

dishes.

DETERGENTS

There are 3 types of detergents.

1. With phosphate and with chlorine

2. With phosphate and without chlorine

3. Without phosphate and without chlorine

CONCENTRATED DETERGENT

Based on their chemical composition, the detergents 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 programs in conjunction with concentrated
detergents reduces pollution and is good for your dishes; these wash pro­grams are specially matched to the dirt-dissolving properties of the
enzymes of the concentrated detergent. For this reason normal wash pro­grams in which concentrated detergents are used can achieve the same
results that can otherwise only be achieved using “intensive”
programs.

PRIOR TO USING FOR THE FIRST TIME

DETERGENT TABLETS

Detergent tablets of different brands dissolve at different speeds. For this
reason some detergent tablets cannot dissolve and develop their full
cleaning power during short programs. Therefore please use longer pro­grams when using detergent tablets to ensure the complete removal of
detergent residuals.

DETERGENT DISPENSER

The dispenser must be refilled before the start of each wash cycle follow­ing the instructions provided in the Wash Cycle Table . Your dishwasher
uses less detergent and rinse aid than a conventional dishwasher.
Generally, only one tablespoon of detergent is needed for a normal wash
load. Also, more heavily soiled items need more detergent. Always add
the detergent just before starting the dishwasher, otherwise it could get
damp and will not dissolve properly.
