Detergents

Information about detergentsYou can use any brand of liquid or powderdetergent, as well as tablets, that havebeen specifically designed for use indomestic dishwashers. (Do not use normalwashing-up liquid!)

Nowadays there are three types ofdishwasher detergent available:1. those containing phosphates and chlorine,2. those containing phosphates but no chlorine,3. those containing neither phosphates nor chlorine.

When a phosphate-free detergent is usedin conjunction with hard water, there is agreater possibility that white marks will beleft behind on crockery and glasses, etc.These can be avoided by pouring anincreased amount of detergent into thedispenser.

Chlorine-free detergents have a reducedbleaching effect. This can mean that teastains are not completely removed orplastic items become discoloured.

This can be resolved by:selecting a higher temperatureprogramme, or increasing the amount of detergent,orusing a detergent that containschlorine.

Check the label on the detergentpackaging to determine whether aparticular product is suitable for use withsilverware.

If you have any further questions, werecommend that you contact the customer

advice departments of the variousdetergent manufacturers.

Detergent compartment withmeasuring marksThe side of the detergent compartment ismarked with lines to help you determinehow much powder to add.The capacity of the detergent container is15 ml up to the bottom line and 25 ml up tothe middle line. When the compartment isfull it contains 40 ml.

If the detergent dispenser 30 is stillclosed, press the lock 32 to open thedetergent dispenser.

Adding detergent

Fill the dispenser 30 with detergent.Please observe the manufacturersinstructions printed on the detergentpackaging when determining thecorrect dosage.

ImportantDue to the different solvency properties ofthe detergent tablets supplied by variousmanufacturers, the cleaning efficiency ofthe detergent may not be fully utilised byshort programmes. It is recommended touse washing powder for theseprogrammes.

If using the Intensive programme(some models), also pour approx.1015 ml of detergent ontothe appliance door. If using tablets,also place a tablet on the appliancedoor.

Reduce costs!

If your dishes are onlymoderately dirty, you may beable to use less detergent than

recommended.Close the lid on the detergentcompartment.Press down the lid (1) until it clicksshut (2).

If you are using detergent in tablet form,read the manufacturersrecommendations on the packaging inorder todetermine where the tablets should beplaced inside the dishwasher (e.g. incutlery basket, detergent compartment,etc.).Make sure that the lid on the detergentcompartment is closed, even if you areusing tablets.

CAUTIONIMPORTANT NOTEON THE USE OFCOMBINED CLEANINGPRODUCTSPlease note the following when usingcombined cleaning products whicheliminate the need for a rinsing agent orsalt, for example:

Some products with a built-in rinsingagent are only used to their full effect incertain programmes.

This type of product does not generallyproduce the desired effect withautomatic programmes.

Products which eliminate the need forregeneration salt can only be usedwithin a certain water hardness range.

If you wish to use these combinedproducts, please read the instructionscarefully and heed any notes on thepackaging.

Contact the manufacturer of the cleaningagent if you have any questions,particularly if:

the crockery is very wet once theprogramme has finished.limescale deposits are formed.
