Rinse aid

Rinse aid is necessary to ensure water does not cling and leave marks on cr

ockery during the drying phase and helps crockery dry faster after it has been washed. Rinse aid is poured into the storage res‐ ervoir and the amount set is dispensed automatically.

The resulting rinsing and drying quality will not, however, be as good as when rinse aid is used.

Items not suitable for dishwashers:

ems with wooden parts: these may discolour and fade. The glue used in these items is not dishwasher-proof and wooden handles may come loose after being washed in a dish‐ washer.

– Craft items, antiques, valuable vases

and decor not suitable for dishwashers.

– Plastic items which are not heat-re‐

Useful tip: When pur crockery and cutlery, make sure they are dishwasher-proof.

Glass care

– Clouding may occur on glasses after

equent washing. If delicate glass‐ ware is washed in the dishwasher, ensure that only very low tempera‐ tures are used (see programme chart), or a special glass-care pro‐ gramme is used (depending on mod‐ el). This will reduce the risk of cloud‐ ing.
