Setting the rinse aid level 
 
The amount of rinse aid that the dishwasher requires also depends on 
the hardness of your water. You should experiment with the rinse aid 
setting, until you find a level that gives the best results. 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

o

 

On the first wash cycle, we would recommend that the rinse aid 
level is set to number 4. 

 

o

 

If you get water spots and poor drying performance, then you 
should turn the arrow anticlockwise and increase the setting to 
the next number. 

 

o

 

You should continue to adjust the rinse aid level upwards until 
you get no water spots.  

 

o

 

If you get cloudiness or streaking on your dishes, the rinse aid 
level is set too high and it is causing foaming during the wash 
cycle. Turn the arrow clockwise and lower the setting to the next 
number. 

 

Filling with dishwasher detergent 
 
The detergent dispenser must be refilled at the start of each wash 
cycle (apart from the RINSE wash program).
