Electrolux Comprehensive Guide to Rinse Aid for Dishwashers

Rinse aid

Rinse aid is automatically added during the last rinse, ensuring thorough rinsing, and spot and streak free drying. The dispenser, which is positioned inside the door, holds about 110 ml of rinse aid, which is sufficient for 16 - 40 dishwashing programmes, depending upon the dosage setting.

Filling with rinse aid

1.Open the container by turning the lid (A) anticlockwise.

2.Add the rinse aid until the container is completely full. The maximum level for filling is indicated by "max".

Use of detergent

Only use detergents specifically designed for use in dishwashers.

We recommend the use of Finish detergents which are available in the following options:

Finish Double Action Tablets. Each tablet has the exact amount of detergent required, simply place in the dispenser. Finish Powder recommended for every day use.

Finish Liquid Gel ideal for every day use. As the gel is extra gentle is it recommended for fine bone china.

If using powder detergents proceed as follows:

1. Open the dispenser lid by pulling the catch (D).

2.	Fill the detergent dispenser with detergent.
	The marking indicates the dosing levels:
	Min = approximately 15 g of detergent
	Max = approximately 30 g of detergent
3.	Always close the lid.

Ensure that the lid is closed after every refill.

Top up the rinse aid when the indicator (B) becomes clear.

(Only for models with rinse aid indicator light)

Top up with rinse aid when the rinse aid indicator light on the control panel illuminates.

Do not put liquid detergent in the rinse aid compartment. Clean up any rinse aid spilt during filling with an absorbent cloth to avoid excess foaming during the next wash.

Adjusting the dose

According to the finish and drying results obtained, adjust the dose of rinse aid by means of the 6 position selector (C) (position 1 minimum dosage, position 6 maximum dosage).

Increase the dose if there are drops of water or lime spots on the dishes after washing.

4.If the programme has a prewash add a little amount of detergent (5 g) over the lid of the dispenser.

If using detergent in tablets proceed as follows:

1.For all programmes; place 1 tablet inside the detergent dispenser.

2.Always close the lid.

3.For all programmes with prewash; place a portion of a further tablet on the lid of the detergent dispenser.

If your dishwasher has a SID dispenser and you require a prewash, put the extra detergent into the SID dispenser

Reduce it if there are sticky whitish streaks on the dishes.

and not on the lid of the detergent dispenser.

Insufficient quantities of detergent will produce poor washing results, whereas an excessive amount of detergent will not improve washing results and is also wasteful.

Using no more than the correct amount also contributes to reducing pollution.

Compact detergents with enzymes

In these compact powders the environmentally unfriendly components have been replaced by natural enzymes and other more biodegradable substances.

The enzymes deploy their full dirt dissolving power at a temperature as low as 50°C.

By choosing the 50°C programmes (if available) you can therefore achieve the same cleaning results that would otherwise be achievable only with 65°C programmes and conventional detergents.These new compact powders are generally phosphate-free.
