Before using your dishwasher for the first time:
A. Filltherinse aiddispenser
B. Fill in detergent
Therinse aid isreleased duringthe finalrinse to prevent water from forming dropletson your dishes, which can
leave spots and streaks. It also improvesdryingby allowing water to rolloff thedishes. Yourdishwasheris
designed to use liquidrinseaids.The rinseaid dispenser islocated insidethe door nextto thedetergent dispenser.
To fill the dispenser,open the capand pour the rinse aidinto the dispenser untilthe level indicator turns completely
black.Thevolume ofthe rinseaidcontaineris about 110ml.
RinseAid Dispenser
Function of RinseAid
Rinse aid is automatically added during the last rinse, ensuringthorough rinsing, and spot and streakfree drying.
Attention!
Onlyuse branded rinse aid for dishwasher. Never fill the rinseaid dispenserwith any other substances
(e.g. Dishwasher cleaning agent, liquid detergent). This would damage the appliance.
As the rinseaid diminishes, the size of the black dot

Detergents with its chemical ingredients are necessary to remove dirt, crush dirt and transport it out of the dishwasher.
Most of the commercial quality detergentsare suitable forthis purpose.
Detergents
There are 3 sorts of detergents
1.With phosphate and with chlorine
2.With phosphate and without chlorine
3.Without phosphate and without chlorine
Based on their chemicalcomposition, detergentscan be split in two basic types:
Detergent tablets of different brands dissolve at different speeds. For this reason some
detergent tablets cannot dissolve anddevelop their full cleaning power during short
programs. Therefore please use long programs when using detergent tablets, to
ensurethe completeremovalof detergent residuals.
The dispenser mustbe refilled before the start of each wash cycle followingthe instructions
provided in the wash cycle table .Your dishwasheruses less detergent andrinse aid than
Conventional dishwasher. Generally, only one tablespoon of detergent is needed for
a normal wash load.Moreheavily soiled items need more detergent.Alwaysaddthe
detergent just before starting thedishwasher, otherwise it could get damp and will not
dissolve properly.
Concentrated Detergent
DetergentTablets
DetergentDispenser
conventional, alkaline detergents with caustic components

Normally new pulveriseddetergent is without phosphate.Thus the water softener function of
phosphate is not given. In this case we recommend tofill salt in the salt container even when
the hardness ofwater is only6 dH. Ifdetergentswithout phosphate are used inthe case ofhard water
often white spots appearondishes and glasses. In this case please add more detergent to reach
better results. Detergents without chlorine doonlybleacha little. Strong and coloured spots will not
be removedcompletely.In thiscase please choose aprogramwitha higher temperature.
