OPERATING
INSTRUCTIONS

ATTENTION // Before using your dishwasher for the first time, please make sure that you
read the following sections:

A. Fill the rinse aid dispenser B. Fill the detergent dispenser

A. FILL THE RINSE AID DISPENSER

FUNCTION OF RINSE AID

The rinse aid is automatically released during the last rinse in order to prevent water from
forming droplets on your dishes that can leave spots and streaks.

ATTENTION // Only use branded rinse aid in the dishwasher.

Never fill the rinse aid dispenser with any other substances (e.g. dishwasher cleaning agent,
liquid detergent). This would damage the appliance.

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 140ml.

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 close the cap before you close the dishwasher door.

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, be careful not to overfill.

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

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

ADJUSTING RINSE AID DISPENSER

The rinse aid dispenser has six settings.
Always start with the dispenser set on “4”

If spots and poor drying are problems,
increase the amount of rinse aid dispensed
by removing the dispenser lid and rotating
the dial to “5”. If the dishes still are not
drying properly or are spotted, adjust the
dial to the next higher number until your
dishes are spot-free. The dose is factory set
in position 5.

NOTE // Increase the dose if there are
drops of water or lime spots on the dishes
after washing. Reduce it if there are sticky
whitish streaks on the dishes or a bluish
film on glassware or knife blades.

B. FILL THE DETERGENT
DISPENSER

Detergents with its chemical ingredients
are necessary to remove dirt, crush dirt and
transport it out of the dishwasher. Most of
commercial quality detergents are suitable
for this purpose.

CONCENTRATED DETERGENT

dishwasher can be split in two basic types:

• conventional, alkaline detergents with
caustic components

• low alkaline concentrated detergents with
natural enzymes

The use of “normal” washing programme
in conjunction with concentrated detergents
reduces pollution and is good for your dishes;
these washing programmes are specially
matched to the dirt dissolving properties of the
enzymes of the concentrated detergents. For
this reason ”normal” washing programme in
which concentrated detergents are used can
