Miele G 5980 Operating Instructions

Rinse aid
Rinse aid is necessary to ensure water
does not cling and leave marks on
crockery during the drying phase and
helps crockery dry faster after it has
been washed.
Rinse aid is poured into the storage
reservoir and the amount set is
dispensed automatically.
Inadvertently filling the rinse aid
reservoir with powder or liquid
detergent will always cause serious
damage to the reservoir.
Alternatively, it is possible to use

Add rinse aid only until it is visible in
the opening.
The rinse aid reservoir holds approx.
110 ml.
Close the flap firmly so that it clicks
into place. Otherwise water can enter
the rinse aid reservoir during a
programme.
Wipe up any spilled rinse aid. This
prevents over-foaming occurring
during the next programme.
You can adjust the rinse aid dosage
for best results (see "Settings menu
,
Rinse aid").
