Based on their chemical composition, dishwasher can be split in two basic types:
conventional, alkaline detergents with caustic components
low alkaline concentrated detergents with natural enzymes
The use of “normal” washing programmes in conjunction with concentrated detergents
reduces pollution and is good for your dishes; these wash programmes are specially matched
to the dirt-dissolving properties of the enzymes of the concentrated detergent. For this reason
“normal”wash programmes in which concentrated detergents are used can achieve the
same results that can otherwise only be achieved using “intensive” programmes.
Detergent tablets of different brands dissolve at different speeds. For this reason some
detergent tablets cannot dissolve and develop their full cleaning power during short
programmes. Therefore please use long programmes when using detergent tablets, to
unsure the complete removal of detergent residuals.
The dispenser must be refilled before the start of each wash cycle following the instructions
provided in the Wash Cycle Table? Your dishwashers use less detergent and rinse aid
then conventional dishwashers. Generally, only one tablespoon of detergent is needed for
a normal wash load. Also, more heavily soiled items need more detergent. Always add the
detergent just before starting dishwasher, otherwise it could get damp and will not dissolve
properly.
Amount of Detergent to Use
Always add the detergent just before starting each wash cycle.
Only use branded detergent aid for dishwasher.
If the lid is closed: press release button. The lid springs open.
Dishwasher detergent is corrosive! Take care to keep it out of reach of children.
Proper Use of Detergent
Use only detergent specifically made for use in dishwashers. Keep your detergent fresh
and dry. Don't put powder detergent into the dispenser until you're ready to wash dishes.
