Detergent
You can use tablets as well as powder or liquid
detergents for dishwashers, but never use washing
up liquid. The dosage can be individually adjusted
with powder or a liquid detergent according
to the degree of soiling. Tablets contain an adequately
large amount of active ingredients for all cleaning
tasks. Modern, powerful detergents predominantly
use a low-alkaline formulation with phosphate
and enzymes. Phosphates bond the lime in the water.
Enzymes break down starch and remove protein.
Phosphate-free detergents are less frequent. These
have a slightly weaker lime bonding capacity
and require a higher dosage. To remove coloured
stains (e.g. tea, tomato sauce), oxygen-based
bleaching agents are usually used.
Note
To ensure a good washing result, always follow
the instructions on the detergent packaging!
If you have further questions, we recommend that
you contact the detergent manufacturers’ helpline.
ã=Warning
Read and observe the safety information and
instructions for use on the packaging for cleaning and
rinsing agents.
Adding detergent
1 If the detergent dispenser 9* is still closed,
press the lock 92 to open the detergent
dispenser.
Pour detergent into the dry detergent
dispenser 9* only (insert tablet flat, not on its
edge). Dosage: see manufacturer’s instructions
on the packaging.
The graduated detergent dispenser 9* helps
you add the correct amount of powder or liquid
detergent.
Usually 20 ml–25 ml are adequate for normal
soiling. If using tablets, one tablet is adequate.
2 Close the cover on the detergent dispenser
by sliding it up until the lock engages without
difficulty.
The detergent dispenser opens automatically
at the optimum time depending on the
programme. The powder or liquid detergent
is distributed in the appliance and is dissolved,
the tablet falls into the tablet collecting tray
where it dissolves in doses.
Tip
If the utensils are only lightly soiled, slightly less than
the indicated amount of detergent is usually adequate.
Suitable detergents and care products can be
purchased online via our website or via customer
service (see back page).
