Only fill with salt just before starting one of the complete washing programmes.
Rinse aid ● Rinse aid is automatically added during the last rinse, ensuring thorough rinsing, and spot and streak free drying. The dispenser, which is positioned inside the door, holds about 110 ml of rinse aid, which is sufficient for 16 - 40 dishwashing programmes, depending upon the dosage setting. If you are using dishwasher detergent that already contains rinse aid, it is necessary to deactivate the inflow of rinse aid, in order to avoid a double dosage.
