18 Using rinse aid
We recommend using liquid rinse aid regularly to give the best drying results.
Rinse aid gives a streak-free, sparkling clean look to glass and chinaware. It also prevents metal
from tarnishing.
The rinse aid dispenser is on the inside of the drawer, underneath the detergent dispenser.
It holds approximately 1.7 fl oz / 50 ml of rinse aid.
You may hear some unusual, high-pitched beeping when rinse aid is
being dispensed. This is normal.
When to refill rinse aid
If the indicator glows bright red, refill rinse aid.
If the indicator glows dimly or not at all, you do not need to refill:
there is enough rinse aid for the wash.
Note: Lighter coloured rinse aids will not dim the
indicator as effectively as darker ones.
How to refill rinse aid
1
Turn the plug anticlockwise and remove.
2
Pour rinse aid into the circular opening, taking care not to spill any
into the drawer.
Important!
Any accidental spillages of rinse aid must be wiped up. If not wiped up,
spilt rinse aid will cause excessive foaming, resulting in a service
call that will not be covered by warranty.
3
Refit the plug, then turn it clockwise back to its original position.
Important!
Make sure that the plug is closed tight, with its hand grip pointing
straight ahead.
How much rinse aid to use
You may need to adjust the amount of rinse aid dispensed in
each wash to suit your water conditions. The lowest setting
is ‘1’, the highest is ‘5’. See the ‘Preference options’ section of
your ‘Quick start guide’ for instructions on how to change
the rinse aid setting.
If there is excessive foam at the end of the wash, reduce the setting.
If dishes are wet or streaky after drying, increase the setting.
If you live in a hard water area and you have no water softener
installed in your water supply or built into your dishwasher,
we recommend adjusting the rinse aid setting to 5.
