The rinse aid is released during the final rinse to prevent water from forming droplets on
your dishes, which can leave spots and streaks. It also improves drying by allowing water
to roll off the dishes. Your dishwasher is designed to use liquid rinse aids.
Only use branded rinse aid for dishwasher. Never fill the rinse aid dispenser with any
other substances (e.g. Dishwasher cleaning agent, liquid detergent). This would
damage the appliance.

suitable for this purpose.

Unless the rinse-aid warning light ( ) on the control
panel is on, you can always estimate the amount from the
color of the optical level indicator located next to the cap.
When the rinse aid container is full, the indicator will be fully
dark. The size of the dark dot decreases as the rinse-aid
diminishes. You should never let the rinse aid level be less
than 1/4 full.
As the rinse aid diminishes, the size of the black dot on the
rinse aid level indicator changes, as illustrated below.
