Measuring out the rinse aid

Rinse aid makes it easier for the crockery to dry, as water runs
off surfaces more readily and therefore does not leave streaks
or marks. The rinse aid dispenser should be filled:

is illuminated, a reserve supply of rinse aid is still available
for 1-2 cycles;

1. Open the dispenser by pressing and pulling up the tab
on the lid;
2. Carefully introduce the rinse aid as far as the maximum

Measuring out the refined salt

In order to obtain the best possible results from a wash cycle,
make sure that the salt dispenser is never empty.
Refined salt removes limescale from the water, thus avoiding
the formation of deposits on crockery.
The salt dispenser is located in the lower part of the dishwasher

It is advisable to perform this procedure every time you add
salt to the dispenser.
Make sure the cap is screwed on tightly so that no detergent can
get into the container during the wash cycle (this could damage
the water softener beyond repair).
When necessary, measure out the salt before a wash cycle
so that any saline solution which has leaked out of the salt
dispenser is removed.
