The rinse aid dispenser has four or six settings, depending on the model purchased.
Always start with the dispenser at an intermediate point if the dishes stain or do not dry
completely and increase or decrease the amount of rinse aid based on your preference.
NOTE: Increase the dosage if there are drops of water or lime stains on the dishes
after washing them. Reduce it if there are sticky whitish streaks on the dishes or
a bluish film on the glassware or cutlery.
FILL WITH DETERGENT
Detergents are necessary to remove dirt from dishes and cutlery.
Most commercial-grade detergents are suitable for this purpose.
In your dishwasher you can load detergent in tablets, powder or liquid. Never use a
manual washing detergent!
Depending how dirty the dishes are, the detergent dosage can be adapted to individual
requirements by means of powder or liquid detergent. Detergent tablets contain a
sufficient quantity of active components for all tasks. Powerful modern detergents often
use low alkaline formulations with phosphates and enzymes. Phosphate includes the
lime contained in the water. Enzymes degrade starch and albumin. Phosphate-free
detergents are less common. They have a somewhat lower lime binding capacity and
require a higher dosage. Oxygen-based bleach is generally used to remove colour stains
(tea, ketchup).
The detergent dispenser must be refilled before starting the wash cycle, following the
instructions provided in the wash cycle table. Your dishwasher uses less detergent and
rinse aid than a conventional dishwasher. Generally, only one tablespoon of detergent is
needed for normal loading (dirtier items need more detergent). Always add detergent
just before turning on the dishwasher, otherwise it may become damp and will not
dissolve properly.
To add detergent, press the unlock button to open the lid. Add the detergent and close
the lid again until the closure snaps into place.
