A
Dishwasher tabs should be placed, as per the manufacturer’s
recommendations, in compartment A.
If the “Half load” option is selected, detergent dosage should be

HOW TO CHECK/FILL/ADJUST RINSE AID
Not necessary when using a combined action detergent.
a. How to check the rinse aid level
Check the visual indicator C on the dispenser: dark = sufficient rinse aid, clear = add rinse aid.
In the case of appliances with an electric indicator on the

of the wash cycle when rinse aid needs to be added.
b. How to fill the rinse aid dispenser
Press the right button on the dispenser (button 2 ) to open
the rinse aid compartment.
Fill the dispenser with rinse aid up to the “max” line
(approx. 150 ml).
Shut the lid again.

which could cause appliance malfunctioning.
c. How to adjust the rinse aid dosage regulator:
The rinse aid dosage can be adjusted to the detergent used. The lower the setting, the less

Press the button 2 to open the cover.
Using a coin or similar object, turn the arrow to the desired setting.
After adjusting the rinse aid setting, shut the cover again.

If the dishes often have whitish streaks: reduce the dosage by turning the dial to a lower setting
(1-3). Dishes did not dry: increase the dosage by turning the dial to a higher setting (5-6). Plastic
dishes have more difficulty drying and a higher rinse aid setting will not improve the situation.
