RINSE AID DISPENSER
1. To open the dispenser, turn the cap to the "open" (left) arrow and lift it out.
2. Pour the rinse aid into the dispenser, be careful not to overfill.
3. Replace the cap by inserting it aligned with "open" arrow and turning it to the "closed" (right) arrow.
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 t he 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.
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 programme in conjunction with concentrated detergents reduces pollution and is good for your
dishes; these washing programmes are specially matched to the dirtdissolving properties of the enzymes of the concentrated
detergent. For this reason"normal" 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 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 for a 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.
Attention!
Clean up any rinse aid spilt during filling with an absorbent cloth to avoid excess foaming during the next wash.
Adjusting Rise 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 removing 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 washing. Reduce it if there are sticky whitish streaks on the dishes or a
bluish film on glassware or knife blades.
B. 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.
Amount of Detergent To Use
NOTE:
1. If the lid is closed: press release button. The lid springs open.
2. Always add the detergent just before starting each wash cycle. Only use branded detergent aid for dishwasher.
WARNING!
Dishwasher detergent is corrosive! Take care to keep it out of reach of children
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.
