Solution

The rinse aid helps to dry the dishes without streaks and stains. It is automatically released during the hot rinse phase.

You can set the released quantity of rinse aid between level 1 (minimum quantity) and level 6 (maximum quantity).

The Factory setting: is set to level 4.

When the rinse aid chamber is empty, the rinse aid indicator is on, notifying to refill rinse aid.

If the drying results are satisfactory while using multi-tablets only, you can deactivate the dispenser and the indicator. However, for the best drying performance, always use rinse aid and keep the rinse aid indicator active.

To deactivate the rinse aid dispenser and indicator, set the level of rinse aid to 0.

1. Open the lid (C).

2. Fill the dispenser (B) until the rinse aid reaches the marking ''MAX''.
