FEATURES AND CONTROLS

ADDING DETERGENT

• When a program with hot prewash is selected, extra detergent must

be placed in the cavity

• Only use dishwasher-specic detergents. For optimal washing results it is

important to use a good quality detergent.

• The detergent packs must be sealed and stored in a dry place to prevent the

for mation of lumps which may negatively affect washing results. Once opened the

detergent packs should not be kept for too long, otherwise the detergent loses

its effectiveness.

• Do not use detergents formulated for washing dishes by hand, because they

produce a great deal of foam and may negatively affect the operation of the

dishwasher.

• Add the correct amount of detergent. An insufcient amount of detergent will

result in a partial removal of dirt from the dishes, whereas an excessive amount

is wasteful and does not improve the washing results.

• The market offers liquid and powder detergents with differing chemical

compositions, which may contain phosphates, or be phosphate-free but contain

natural enzymes.

• Detergents containing phosphates are more effective against grease and starch

at temperatures above 60°C (140°F).

• Enzyme detergents, on the other hand, are also effective at lower temperatures

(from 40 to 55°C / from 104 to 131°F) and are more easily biodegradable. With

enzyme detergents it is possible to obtain at low temperatures comparable

results to those which can only be achieved at 65°C (149°F) using traditional

detergents. For the safeguarding of the environment we recommend the use

of phosphate- and chlorine-free detergents.

Extra detergent cavity

Push to close cover

• W hen using detergent tabs, place them in the cutlery basket. The dispenser

has been designed for powder or liquid detergent. As the cover does not open

completely during the washing cycle, tabs are not fully released (dissolved).

This could generate the following problems:

nal rinse cycle.

THE INTRODUCTION OF DETERGENT INTO THE RINSE AID DISPENSER,

EVEN IN LIQUID FORM, WILL DAMAGE THE DISHW ASHER.

- Insufcient detergent released during the cycle and poor washing results.

- The detergent is compacted in the dispenser and is released during the
