Even if you use tablets which include salt,
you must still add salt since such detergents

Adding rinse aid
(not necessary when you use tablets). How to adjust the rinse aid dosage regulator
Daily check
2
Rinse aid indicator (depending on model)
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 the dial to a lower setting (1-3). If crockery is not perfectly 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.
Detergents with rinse aid incorporated may be effective only with longer programmes. In the case of shorter programmes, detergent residue may be a problem (if necessary, use powder detergent). Detergents
with rinse aid incorporated tend to form excess suds.
