Warning If your dishwasher does not have a water softening system, you can skip this chapter. The hardness of the water varies from place to place. If hard water is used in the dishwasher, deposits will form on the dishes and utensils. The appliance is equipped with a special softener that uses salts specifi cally designed to eliminate lime and minerals from the water.
Adding rinsing aid The rinsing aid is released during the last rinse so that water drops do not remain on your dishes causing stains. It also improves drying due to the fact that all the water fl ows off the dishes. Your dishwasher is designed to only be used with a liquid rinsing aid.
WARNING Clean up any rinse aid split during fi lling with an absorbent cloth to avoid excess foaming during the next wash. Do not forget to place the lid back. Setting dial (rinse) The rinsing aid compartment has six diff erent settings. Its factory level setting is 3. If stains form on the dishes or if there is a problem with drying the dishes, increase the released amount of the rinsing aid by removing the lid and turning the dial to „4“.

For this reason you can achieve the same results with concentrated dishwashing detergents using a „standard“...
