3. BEFORE USING FOR THE FIRST TIME

A. Filling the Rinse Aid Dispenser Rinse Aid Dispenser

Rinse aid is released during the final rinse to prevent water from forming droplets on your dishes, which can leave spots and streaks. Using rinse aid also improves drying by allowing water to sheet off 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 rinse aid dispenser, open the cap and pour rinse aid into the dispenser until the level indicator turns dark. The volume of the rinse aid container is approximately 110 ml.

Rinse Aid Function

The rinse aid is automatically added during the last rinse to ensure thorough rinsing and spot/streak-free drying.

Attention!

Only use rinse aid designed for dishwashers. Do not fill the rinse aid dispenser with any other substances such as dishwashing liquid or detergent. Doing so can damage the dishwasher.

Refilling the Rinse Aid Dispenser

If the rinse aid warning indicator light is not on, you can see how much rinse aid is left by looking at the color of the rinse aid level indicator “C” located next to the cap. When the rinse aid container is full, the indicator will be dark. As rinse aid level decreases, the size of the dot will decrease. Do not let the rinse aid get below 1/4 full.

As the rinse aid level decreases, the size of the black dot on the rinse aid level indicator will change as illustrated below:

O Full O 3/4 Full O 1/2 Full O 1/4 Full O Empty

3 3

C (Rinse-Aid indicator) C

1. To open the rinse aid dispenser, turn the cap to the left arrow and lift it out.

2. Pour the rinse aid into the dispenser and be careful not to overfill.

3. Replace the cap and turn the cap to the right arrow to close the dispenser.

NOTE: Clean up any rinse aid that has spilled with an absorbent cloth to avoid excessive foaming during the next wash. Always replace the rinse aid cap before closing the dishwasher door.

Adjusting the Rinse Aid Dispenser

The rinse aid dispenser has 4 settings. The recommended setting is “3”. If dishes are still not drying properly or are

(Rinse)

spotted, adjust the dial to the next higher number, “4”. NOTE: Increase the amount of rinse aid if there are still

water droplets on your dishes. Reduce the amount of rinse aid if there are white stains on your dishes or if there is a bluish film on glassware or cutlery.

B. Using Detergent Proper Use of Detergent

Detergents remove debris from your dishes and then help remove them from your dishwasher. Only use detergent specifically designed for dishwashers. Keep detergent fresh and dry, and do not put powered detergent into the dispenser until you are ready to wash dishes.

Types of Detergent

There are 3 types of detergent:

• Phosphate and chlorine

• Phosphate without chlorine

• Without phosphate or chlorine

Most pulverized detergents will be phosphate-free. Since phosphate is a natural water softening agent, if you are using a phosphate-free detergent, we recommend putting salt in the container even when the water hardness is only 6°dH. If phosphate-free detergents are used in hard water, white spots will often appear on dishes and glassware. If this is the case, add more detergent to achieve better cleaning results. Detergent without chlorine may not be able to remove large/heavy stains. In this case, please choose a wash cycle with a higher temperature.

Concentrated Detergent

Based on their chemical composition, dishwashing detergents can be split into 2 basic types:

• Conventional, alkaline detergents with caustic components

• Low alkaline 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 specifically designed to be used with concentrated detergent. For this reason, “normal” wash programs with concentrated detergent can achieve the same results that can otherwise only be achieved using “intensive” programs.

Detergent Tablets

Depending on the brand, detergent tablets can dissolve at different speeds. For this reason, some detergent tablets cannot dissolve and develop their full cleaning power during short programs. Please use a longer wash program/cycle when using detergent tablets to ensure complete removal of residual detergent.

Note: Detergent tablets can only be used in dishwashers with 3-in-1 functionality or 3-in-1 programs.

Detergent Dispenser

The detergent dispenser must be refilled prior to the start of each wash cycle. This dishwasher uses less detergent and rinse aid than a conventional dishwasher. Generally, only one tablespoon of detergent will be required for a normal wash load. For more heavily soiled dishes, use more detergent. Always add the detergent just before starting the dishwasher, otherwise it will not dissolve properly.

Detergent tablet

Note:

• If the detergent dispenser lid is closed, press the latch to open it.

• Always add detergent just before starting a wash cycle.

• Only use branded detergent for your dishwasher.

WARNING: Dishwashing detergent is corrosive. Keep it out of reach of children. Filling the Detergent Dispenser

Fill the detergent dispenser with detergent according to the dosage levels as illustrated on the right:

A. Accommodates 15g of detergent B. Accommodates 25g of detergent

Please observe the manufacturer’s dosing and storage recommendations as stated on the detergent packaging.

After filling the detergent dispenser, close the lid and make sure it locks into place. If dishes are heavily soiled, put more detergent into the pre-wash detergent chamber. This

detergent will be used during the pre-wash phase.

Note:

• Information on the amount of detergent for a single program is listed on the last page.

• Please be aware that the amount of detergent you should use will vary depending on the

soilage level and hardness level of your water.

•

Please observe manufacturer’ s recommendations on the detergent packaging.

4. LOADING THE DISHWASHER BASKET

Recommendations

• Use utensils that are dishwasher safe.

• Use a mild detergent that is “kind to dishes.” Seek further information from the detergent

manufacturer if necessary.

• For delicate items, use a washing program with a low temperature.

• To prevent damage, do not remove glass or cutlery from the dishwasher immediately

after the wash cycle has ended.

Washing Guidelines

The following is a list of items that are not suitable and somewhat suitable for use in the dishwasher:

Not Suitable:

• Cutlery with wood, horn china or mother of pearl handles

• Plastic items that are not heat resistant

• Older cutlery with glued parts that are not temperature resistant

• Bonded cutlery or dishes

• Pewter or copper items

• Crystal or glass items

• Steel items that may be subject to rusting

• Wooden platters

• Items made from synthetic fibers

Limited Suitability:

• Some glasses may become dull after several washes

• Silver and aluminum products have a tendency to discolor during washing

• Glazed patterns may fade if frequently machine washed

Dishwasher Basket Loading Guidelines

For best performance, follow these guidelines before and after loading the dishwasher basket. Basket and cutlery baskets may vary according to model.

• Scrape off large amounts of leftover food from your dishes. Soften and remove burnt food remnants from pans. It is not necessary to rinse dishes before washing.

• Place objects in the dishwasher in the following manner: A. Place cups, glasses, pots/pans, etc., face down. B. Curved items or those with recesses should be loaded at an angle or slant so that

water can run off. C. All utensils are must be stacked securely so that they do not tip over. D. Place all utensils in the same direction so that the spray arms can rotate freely during

the wash cycle.

Note: Very small items should not be washed in the dishwasher, as they can easily fall out of the basket.

• Load hollow items such as cups, glasses, pans, etc., with the opening facing downwards so that water cannot collect in the container.
