PRIOR TO USING FOR THE FIRST TIME

Before using your dishwasher for the first time:

A) Fill the rinse aid dispenser

B) Fill in detergent

RINSE AID DISPENSER

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 110ml.

FUNCTION OF RINSE AID

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

ATTENTION!

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.

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

Full

3 / 4 full

1 / 2 full

1 / 4 full - Should refill to eliminate spotting

Empty

C (Rinse-Aid indicator)

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.

Attention!

Clean up any rinse aid spill during filling with an absorbent cloth to avoid excess foaming during the next wash.

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, being careful not to overfill.

3. Replace the cap by inserting it aligned with “open” arrow and turning it to the closed (right) arrow.
