Delicate sink

Needed for fragile materials such as porcelain and crystal. Very sparing mode, so you can not worry about the integrity of your dishes. However, the temperature regime is quite low - only about 45 degrees Celsius, so it will be difficult to wash hard to remove fat.

Quick wash

Salt

It is necessary to soften water. It is the salt that is charged into the ion exchanger. How to fill in salt for the first time - we described in the paragraph on the first launch.

Important! Pour the powder into a dry tray, otherwise - everything will stick together and foaming ahead of time.

Rinse aid

It is also poured over the dispenser, and is used to give special shine to dishes and to remove the main detergent from the surfaces of the walls of glasses, plates, pans. In a few cycles you will understand how much or little you fall asleep. An obvious symptom of an excess of rinse aid is white stains, keep this in mind.
