Figure 13. Rinse Aid and Detergent Dispenser.

There is also level indicator on the dispenser, see Figure 13. This indicator shows the level of rinse aid that is in the rinse aid reservoir.As received, and when empty the indicator light on the front panel will be illuminated and the level indicator on the dispenser will appear blank.When the rinse aid reservoir is full, the indicator light will not be illuminated and the level indicator on the dispenser will appear dark.

RINSE AID DISPENSER

Rinse aid,or a rinse agent such as Jet-Dry®, is used to diminish water spotting and to provide optimum drying results. It is recommended that a rinse aid be used at all times with the Thermador dishwasher. The rinse aid not only serves to rinse the dishware, but also serves to rinse the tank and inner door of the dishwasher. The tank and inner door will begin to take on a dull, unpolished look, if rinse aid is not used.

Figure 14. Filling Rinse Aid Dispenser

The rinse aid dispenser is located next to the detergent dispenser. See Figure 13. Rinse aid is available in liquid or solid form. Do not use the solid type of rinse aid in the

Thermador dishwasher.

To fill the rinse aid reservoir (refer to Figure 14):

•Open the dishwasher door fully.

•Open the cover of the rinse aid dispenser.

•Add rinse aid to the reservoir until the clear level indicator turns completely dark.The reservoir is full when the level indicator is dark.

•Close the cover of the rinse aid dispenser. Make sure that it is firmly snapped closed.

Dosage Control

Figure 15. Rinse Aid Regulator

The rinse aid reservoir of the Thermador dishwasher is provided with a regulator calibrated from 1 to 6, Figure 15. This regulator controls the amount of rinse aid dispensed. The dishwasher leaves the factory preset to 3-1⁄2. This has been chosen as the average setting, however:

•if you see streaks, it is recommended that the regulator be turned to a lower number.

•if water spots appear, it is recommended that the regulator be turned to a higher number.

To Adjust Setting:

•Open the cover of the rinse aid dispenser.

•Turn the setting indicator to desired setting, see Figure 15.

CYCLE SELECTION

The dishwasher will wash and dry the contents based on cycle selection made. Refer to the CYCLE SELECTION CHART, Tables 2 or 3 (Pages 11-12). The most appropriate cycle for the load to be washed can be selected from one of these tables. Compare the load type and the amount and condition of the food on the items to the chart recommendations.
