Use of detergent
Only use detergents specifically designed
for use in dishwashers.
If using powder detergents proceed as follows:
1. Open the dispenser lid by pulling the catch (D).
2. Add the detergent according to the
recommendations in the programme chart. As all
detergents are not the same, you should also
consult the instructions on the packet.
3. Always close the lid.
4. If the programme has a prewash add the required
detergent over the lid of the dispenser.
If using detergent in tablets proceed as follows:
1. For all programmes; place 1 tablet inside the
detergent dispenser.
2. Always close the lid.
3. For all programmes with prewash; place a portion
of a further tablet on the lid of the detergent
dispenser.
Insufficient quantities of detergent will
produce poor washing results, whereas an
excessive amount of detergent will not
improve washing results and is also
wasteful.
Using no more than the correct amount also
contributes to reducing pollution.
Compact detergents with enzymes
In these compact powders the environmently
unfriendly components have been replaced by natural
enzymes and other more biodegradable substances.
The enzymes deploy their full dirt dissolving power at
a temperature as low as 50°C.
By choosing the "50°C" programmes you can
therefore achieve the same cleaning results that would
otherwise be achievable only with 65°C programmes
and conventional detergents.
These new compact powders are generally
phosphate-free.
As phosphates have water softening properties, we
suggest you add salt to the salt container even if the
hardness of your water is as low as 4°dH (7°TH).
This will avoid lime deposits on crockery and the inner
tub.
