Adding detergent
Detergents remove the dirt from
dishes and cutlery.

tions with regard to dosing and
storage.

In the case of very heavily soiled
dishes, fill the adjoining compart-
ment (1) with additional detergent.
This detergent comes into use during the pre-wash cycle.
Concentrated detergents
Today’s detergents for dishwashers are almost exclusively low-alkaline
concentrated detergents with natural enzymes in tablet or powder
form.

Using 50°C dishwashing cycles in conjunction with these concentrated
detergents reduces pollution and is good for your dishes, as these dish-
washing cycles are specially matched to the dirt-dissolving properties
of the enzymes in concentrated detergents. It is for this reason that us-
ing 50 °C dishwashing cycles in conjunction with concentrated deter-
gents can achieve the same cleaning results that can otherwise only be
achieved using 65 °C cycles.
