Rinse aid %

As soon as the rinse-aid refill indicator X is lit on the fascia, there is still a rinse-aid reserve of 1 – 2 rinsing processes. Refill with rinse aid.

The rinse aid is required for stain-free utensils and clear glasses. Use only rinse aid for domestic dishwashers.

Combined detergents with rinse-aid component may be used up to a water hardness of 21° dH (37° fH, 26° Clarke, 3.7 mmol/l) only. If the water hardness is over 21° dH, rinse aid must be used.

–Open the dispenser 1B by pressing and lifting the plate on the cover.

–Carefully pour rinse aid up to the max. mark in the filler opening.

–Close cover until it clicks shut.

–To prevent excessive foam formation during the next rinse cycle, remove any rinse aid which has run over with a cloth.

Setting amount of rinse aid

The amount of rinse aid dispensed can be

set from §:‹‹ to §:‹‡. This is the factory setting §:‹….

Do not change the amount of rinse aid unless streaks (select lower setting) or water stains (select higher setting) are left on the utensils.

If the rinse-aid refill indicator X is impaired (e.g. when using combined detergents containing rinse aid component), it can be switched off.

amount of rinse aid” and set the value to §:‹‹.

The rinse aid refill indicator X is now switched off.
