dark: OK. clear: NEEDS TO BE ADDED
Only use rinse aids recommended for use in domestic dishwashers. Immediately wipe away any rinse aid spilt accidentally. This prevents the formation of excess suds which can cause a fault function of the
appliance.
If there are streaks: reduce the dosage by turning t he dial to a lower setti ng (1-3). If crockery is not perfectly dry: increase th e dosage by turning the dial to a higher setting (5- 6). Plastic di shes have more diff iculty
drying and a higher rinse aid setting will not improve the situation.
Detergents with rinse aid incorporated may be effective only with longer programs. In the case of shorter programs, detergent residue may be a problem (if necessary, use powder detergent). Detergents with
rinse aid incorporated tend to form excess suds.
