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 The section marked A in the diagram is for the main wash cycle detergent. Only one detergent tablet should be placed in the dispenser at any one time.
