Wash cycles
If the crockery is only lightly soiled or if it has been rinsed with water before being placed in the
dishwasher, reduce the amount of detergent used accordingly.
The number and type of wash cycles and options may vary depending on the dishwasher model.
Notes:
Optimum performance levels when using the "Daily and Rapid/Speed wash" cycles can be achieved by observing the maximum
amounts of crockery specified.
To make it easier to measure out the detergent, it is worth remembering that:
1 tablespoon = 15 gr. of powder = approximately 15 ml of liquid - 1 teaspoon = 5 gr. of powder = approximately 5 ml of liquid
*
The Eco wash cycle adheres to the regulation EN-50242. Although it has a longer duration than other wash cycles it uses less
energy and is les harmful to the environment.
