What should I do when my dishwasher displays the rinse aid indicator?

Step 1. Open the detergent dispenser flap by pushing the detergent dispenser release catch.

Step 2. Add the recommended amount of detergent into the main wash detergent compartment. 

Step 3. Close the flap by sliding it to the left and then pressing it down.

Step 4. For a better cleaning result, especially if you have very dirt items, add a small amount (about 8 g) of detergent on the door. That will act in the prewash phase.

Step 1. Open the door completely and remove the rinse aid cap by turning it counterclockwise.

Step 2. Add the liquid rinse aid into the dispenser (until the rinse aid level reaches the full mark.)

Step 3. Close the rinse aid cap by rotating it clockwise.

Step 4. Set the rinse aid indicator dial to a number between 1 and 6. The larger the number is, the larger the amount of rinse aid that will be dispensed.

Step 5. Replace the cover. 

• You can check the amount of rinse aid by the colour of the optical level indicator located next to the cap.
• When the rinse-aid container is full, the whole indicator will be dark.
• As the rinse aid diminishes, the size of the dark dot decreases. The rinse aid should be kept above 1/4 full.

• Samsung dishwashers are designed to use liquid rinse aid only.
• All dishwasher cycles require detergent in the detergent compartment. Add the correct amount of detergent for the selected cycle to ensure good performance.
• Use dishwasher detergent only. Regular detergent produces too much foam, which may decrease the dishwasher’s performance or cause it to malfunction.
• Add rinse before the rinse aid leaves below 1/4.
• If the rinse dispenser cap is hard to open, use a coin.
• Keep dishwasher detergent out of the reach of children.
