The detergent and rinse aid dispensers are
situated on the inner part of the door: the
detergent dispenser is on the left and the
rinse aid dispenser is on the right.

The purpose of Rinse Aid is to help the
dishes dry faster and to prevent formation
of water marks on tableware and utensils,
and to ensure that glasses are clean and
sparkling.
Rinse Aid is consumed during the washing
process and needs adding when required.

-

Open the door. Rotate the rinse aid 
container cap anticlockwise by

/

of a 

turn and remove it.

-

Add the rinse aid until the container is 
full (approximately 140cc). The level 
indicator on the side should be     
completely obscured.
Refill the rinse aid when the optical level
indicator becomes clear again, or when 
the rinse aid warning light illuminates 
(Model DF56 only).

-

Replace the cap, turn clockwise and 
ensure it is securely closed.

-

Use a cloth to remove any spillage.

Only use rinse aids intended for use in
domestic dishwasher's,

The amount of rinse aid added to the water
can be varied by adjusting the control. The
rinse aid control has been factory set for
medium water hardness.
Do not alter the setting of the rinse aid
control unless streaks or water marks are
left on the dishes.
To adjust the rinse aid setting, rotate the
dispenser cap through a quarter turn in an
anti-clockwise direction and remove it. Use
a screwdriver to turn the rinse aid control to

the required position. Replace the cap
securely turning clockwise.

RINSE AID CONTROL

● The amount of rinse aid needs to be 

increased if the appear dull or you can 
see circular stains.

● The amount of rinse aid needs to be 

reduced if the dishes are sticky or you 
can see whit streaks.

You can use any brand of liquid or powder
detergent, as well as tablets, that have
specifically designed for use in domestic
dishwasher's.
DO NOT use normal washing up liquid.
There are three types of dishwasher
detergent available:
1. those containing phosphates and  

chlorine.

2. those containing phosphates but no 

chlorine.

3. those containing neither phosphates 

nor chlorine.

When a phosphate-free detergent is used in
conjunction with hard water, there is a
greater possibility that white marks will be
left behind on crockery and glasses etc.
These can be avoided by pouring an
increased amount of detergent into the
dispenser.
Chlorine-free detergents have a reduced
bleaching effect. This can mean that tea
stains are not completely removed or that
plastic items become discoloured.
This can be resolved by:
- 

selecting a higher temperature       
programme, or

- 

increasing the amount of detergent, or

- 

using a detergent that contains      
chlorine.

Check detergent packaging labels to
determine whether a particular product is
suitable for use with silverware.
