4.2 Using the rinse aid and detergent dispensers
The detergent and rinse aid dispensers are situated on the
inner part of the door: the
detergent dispenser
is on the left,
and the
rinse aid dispenser
is on the right.
With the exception of the
SOAK
program, before every washing cycle it is necessary to add the
required amount of detergent to the
detergent dispenser
. The rinse aid, on the other hand, should
only be added as required.
ADDING THE RINSE AID
The rinse aid helps the dishes dry faster and prevents the formation of scale deposits and staining;
it is automatically added to the water during the final rinse cycle, from the container situated on the
inner side of the door.
•
Open the door.
•
Rotate the container cap anticlockwise by 1/4 of a turn and remove it.
•
Add the rinse aid until the container is full (approximately 140 cc). The optical level indicator on
the side of the cap should be completely obscured. Refill the rinse aid when the optical level
indicator becomes clear again, or when the rinse aid warning light illuminates.
•
Replace the cover and turn it in a clockwise direction.
•
Use a cloth to remove any spillage of rinse aid which might lead to the formation of excess
foam.
ADJUSTING THE RINSE AID DISPENSER SETTING
The dishwasher is factory set for medium water hardness. However it possible to change the
setting by turning the dispenser’s selector to the desired position: the amount of rinse aid
dispensed is proportional to the selector position.
The setting must be increased when the washed dishes appear dull or have circular staining.
•
To adjust the rinse aid setting, rotate the dispenser cap through a quarter turn in an
anticlockwise direction and remove it.
•
Then use a screwdriver to rotate the rinse aid selector to the desired position.
•
Replace the cap, turning it clockwise.
