A. Fill the Rinse Aid DispenserA. Fill the 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.
Rinse Aid Dispenser
Function of Rinse Aid
Rinse aid is automatically added during the last rinse, ensuring thorough rinsing, and spot and streak free drying.

B. Function of DetergentB. Function of Detergent
Detergents
There are 3 sorts of detergents
1.With phosphate and with chlorine
2.With phosphate and without chlorine
3.Without phosphate and without chloride
Based on their chemical composition, dishwasher can be split in two basic types:
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 wh ich concentra te d dete rgents are use d can achie ve t he sa me
results that can otherwise only be achieved using heavy program.
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
programmes. Therefore please use long programmes when using detergent tablets, to
ensure the complete removal of detergent residuals.
Concentrated Detergent
Detergent Tablets
conventional, alkaline detergents with caustic components
low alkaline concentrated detergents with natural enzymes
Normally new pulverised detergent is without phosphate. The water softener function of
phosphate is not given. In this case we recommend to fill salt in the salt container even when
the hardness of water is only 6 dH. If detergents without phosphate were used in case of hard water
often white spots appear at dishes and glasses. In this case please add more detergent to reach
better results. Detergents without chlorine do only bleach a little. Strong and coloured spots will not
removed completely. In this case please choose a programme with higher Temperature.
NOTE:NOTE:
Detergent tablets are only for the models with 3 in 1 function or 3 in 1 program.
Detergents with its chemical ingredients are necessary to remove dirt, crush dirt and transport it out of 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.
Proper Use of Detergent
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".
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.

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 then
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.
