22Rinse aid dispenser

We highly recommend the regular use of liquid rinse aid to give the best drying results.

Rinse aid gives a streak-free, sparkling clean look to glass and chinaware. In addition, it prevents metal from tarnishing. The rinse aid dispenser is on the inside of the drawer, located underneath the detergent dispenser. The rinse aid dispenser holds approximately 1.7 fl oz / 50 ml of rinse aid.

Filling the rinse aid dispenser

1 Turn the plug anticlockwise and remove.

2Pour the rinse aid into the circular opening.

3 Take care not to spill rinse aid into the DishDrawer®.

Important!

Any spillages must be wiped up to prevent excess foaming. Failure to wipe rinse aid spillages may result in a service call which will not be covered by warranty.

4Fit the plug back into the original position.

How much rinse aid to use

The regulator may need adjusting to suit your water conditions or the particular dishwasher tablet you are using. The lowest setting is ‘1’ and the highest is ‘5’. Refer to the ‘Option adjustments’ section to adjust the rinse aid setting.

If there is excessive foam at the end of the wash or you are using dishwasher tablets with built-in rinse aid, 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 DishDrawer, we recommend adjusting the rinse aid setting to 5.

Rinse aid indicator light

If the rinse aid indicator light is red, refill the dispenser. If the rinse aid indicator light is dimly lit or not lit at all, there is enough rinse aid for the wash.

Note:

Lighter coloured rinse aids will not dim the indicator light as effectively as darker coloured rinse aids. When the rinse aid is being dispensed, you may notice some unusual noises during the wash:

this is normal.
