ADJUSTING THE RINSE AID DISPENSER SETTING

The dishwasher is factory set for medium water hardness. However it possible to change the setting by turning the dispenser’s selector to the desired position: the amount of rinse aid dispensed is proportional to the selector position.

The setting must be increased when the washed dishes appear dull or have circular staining.

To adjust the rinse aid setting, rotate the dispenser cap through a quarter turn in an anticlockwise direction and remove it.

Then use a screwdriver to rotate the rinse aid selector to the desired position.

Replace the cap, turning it clockwise.

The amount of rinse aid must be increased if the washed dishes appear dull or feature circular stains.

If, on the other hand, the dishes are sticky or have white streaks, it is necessary to reduce the rinse aid setting.

ADDING THE DETERGENT

To open the detergent dispenser cap, lightly press the button P. Add the detergent and close the cap carefully.

During the washing cycle, the dispenser will be opened automatically.

Use only detergents specially formulated for dishwashers. For optimal washing results it is important to use a good quality detergent.

The detergent packs must be sealed and stored in a dry place to prevent the formation of lumps which may negatively affect washing results. Once opened the detergent packs should not be kept for too long, otherwise the detergent loses its effectiveness.

Do not use detergents formulated for washing dishes by hand, because they produce a great deal of foam and may negatively affect the operation of the dishwasher.

Add the correct amount of detergent. An insufficient amount of detergent will result in a partial removal of dirt from the dishes, whereas an excessive amount is wasteful and does not improve the washing results.
