Rinse Agent
Rinse agent or a rinse aid is used to provide optimum
drying results and diminish water spotting. Always
use a rinse agent with the Thermador dishwasher to
insure proper drying results. It rinses the dishware and
also rinses the internal parts of the dishwasher.
Rinse Agent Indicator Light
An additional rinse aid indicator light is on the control
panel. When the rinse agent dispenser is empty, the
indicator light will glow and the level indicator will
show a silver background with black lines.
After filling the rinse agent dispenser, close the door
and wait a few minutes for the indicator light to regis-
ter.
Rinse Agent Dispenser Regulator
The rinse agent reservoir of the Thermador dishwasher
is provided with a regulator calibrated from 1 to 6.
(See Figure 15.) This regulator controls the amount
of rinse agent dispensed. The dishwasher leaves the
factory preset to 4. However,
NOTE: Refill rinse agent when the
level indicator shows a silver back-
ground with black lines.
