FILLING THE RINSE AID CONTAINER...

The purpose of Rinse Aid is to help the dishes dry faster and to prevent formation of water marks on tableware and utensils, and to ensure that glasses are clean and sparkling.

Rinse Aid is consumed during the washing process and needs adding when required.

DETERGENTS...

Information about detergents:

You can use any brand of liquid or powder detergent, as well as tablets, that have specifically designed for use in domestic dishwasher's.

DO NOT use normal washing up liquid.

There are three types of dishwasher detergent available:

1.those containing phosphates and chlorine.

2.those containing phosphates but no chlorine.

3.those containing neither phosphates nor chlorine.

When a phosphate-free detergent is used in conjunction with hard water, there is a greater possibility that white marks will be left behind on crockery and glasses etc. These can be avoided by pouring an increased amount of detergent into the dispenser.

Chlorine-free detergents have a reduced bleaching effect. This can mean that tea stains are not completely removed or that plastic items become discoloured.

This can be resolved by:

-selecting a higher temperature programme, or

-increasing the amount of detergent, or

-using a detergent that contains chlorine.

Check detergent packaging labels to determine whether a particular product is suitable for use with silverware.
