Rinse aid
Pour in rinse aid
Drying proceeds more quickly if you use
rinse aid.
Machines with indicator on the panel
When the rinse aid has run out and more is
needed, the rinse aid symbol on the panel
lights up*.
To fill with rinse aid:
1. Turn and lift up the cover of the rinse aid
compartment to the right of the dispenser.
This is where you top up and set the
amount of rinse aid to be dispensed in each
wash.
2. Carefully pour in rinse aid up to the knob
for dosage setting.
Alter dosage if required. Do not forget to
close the cover.
*NB!
After filling there may be a short delay
before the signal light goes out.
Machines with refill indicator
There is a refill indicator in the middle of the
dispenser (see picture). If the refill indicator
is totally black, there is sufficient rinse aid.
However, if the indicator has a more
transparent appearance, you need to top up
with rinse aid (see above).

o dH you should use rinse aid with citric
acid (acid rinse aid) if the dishwasher does
not have a water softening filter. If the dish-
washer has a water softening filter, dis-
pense as for soft water.
Too much rinse aid can lead to the build-up
of foam. If your water is particularly soft, you
can dilute the rinse aid (1 part rinse aid, 1
part water).
Too much rinse aid can cause streaks on
the dishes, while too little can result in water
stains.
