consumption of water and energy as
well as the programme duration. The

higher the consumption and the longer
the duration.

THE RINSE AID EMPTY NOTIFICATION
The rinse aid helps to dry the dishes without
streaks and stains. It is automatically released
during the hot rinse phase.
When the rinse aid chamber is empty, the rinse aid
indicator is turned on notifying to refill rinse aid. If
the drying results are satisfactory while using multi-
tablets only, it is possible to deactivate the
notification for refilling rinse aid. However, for best
drying performance, always use rinse aid.
If standard detergent or multi-tablets without rinse
aid are used, activate the notification to keep the
rinse aid refill indicator active.
