Before First Use

A. Fill the Rinse Aid Dispenser

Rinse Aid Dispenser
The rinse aid is released during the final rinse to prevent water from forming droplets on your dishes. That can leave spots and streaks. It also improves drying by allowing water to slide off the dishes. Your dishwashers designed to use liquid rinse aids. 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 110ml.
Function of Rinse Aid
Rinse aid is automatically added during the last rinse, ensuring thorough rinsing, and spot and streak free drying.
Attention!
Only use branded rinse aid for dishwasher. Never fill the rinse aid dispenser with any other substances (e.g. Dishwasher cleaning agent, liquid detergent). This would damage the appliance.
When to Refill the Rinse Aid Dispenser
The Rinse Aid warning indicator icon illuminates when the rinse aid level is low.Rinse Aid should be added to the Rinse Aid dispenser.

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, being careful not to overfill.
3. Replace the cap by inserting italigned with “open” arrow and turning it to the closed (right) arrow.

NOTE: Clean up any rinse aid spilled during filling with an absorbent cloth to avoid excessive foaming during the next wash. Don’t forget to replace the cap before you close dishwasher door.

Adjusting Rinse Aid Dispenser

The rinse aid dispenser hasfour settings. The recommended setting is on “3”. If the dishes still are notdrying properly or are spotted, adjust the dial to the next higher number on “4”.

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 stains on your dishes or a bluish film on glassware or knife blades.

B. Function of Detergent

Proper Use of Detergent
Detergents with its chemical ingredients are necessary to remove dirt, crush dirt and transport it out of the dishwasher. Use only detergent specifically made for use in dishwashers. Keep your detergent fresh and dry. Don’t put powder detergent into the dispenser until you’re ready to wash dishes.

Detergents
There are 3 sorts of detergents

1. With phosphate and with chlorine
2. With phosphate and without chlorine
3. Without phosphate and without chloride

Normally new pulverised detergent is without phosphate. The water softener function of phosphate is not given. In this case we recommend to fill saltin the salt container even when the hardness of water is only 6 ‘dH. If detergents without phosphate were used in case of hard water often white spots appear at dishes and glasses. In this case please add more detergent to reach better results. Detergents without chlorine do only bleach a little. Strong and coloured spots will not removed completely. In this case please choose a program with higher Temperature.

Concentrated Detergent
Based on their chemical composition, dishwashers can be splitin two basic types:
W conventional, alkaline detergents with caustic components B low alkaline concentrated detergents with natural enzymes The use of “normal” washing program in conjunction with concentrated detergents reduces pollution and is good for your dishes; these wash programs are specially matched to the dirt- dissolving properties of the enzymes of the concentrated detergent. For this reason “normal” wash programin which concentrated detergents are used can achieve the same results that can otherwise only be achieved using “heavy” program.
Detergent Tablets
Detergent tablets of different brands dissolve at different speeds. For this reason some detergent tablets cannot dissolve and develop their full cleaning power during short program. Therefore please use long program when using detergent tablets, to ensure the complete removal of detergent residuals.

Detergent Dispenser
The dispenser must be refilled before the start of each wash cycle following the instructions providedinthe Wash Cycle Table . Your dishwasher uses less detergent andrinse aid then conventional dishwasher. Generally, only one tablespoon of detergent is needed for anormal wash load. Also, more heavily soiled items need more detergent. Always add the detergent just before starting the dishwasher, otherwise it could get damp and will not dissolve properly.

Amount of Detergent to Use

NOTE:

• Ifthelidisclosed: pressrelease button. The lid springs open.
• Always add the detergent just before starting each wash cycle.
