USING DETERGENT
All dishwasher cycles require detergent in the detergent compartment.
Add the correct amount of detergent for the selected cycle to ensure the best performance.
CAUTION
: Use dishwasher detergent only. Regular detergent produces too much foam, which may
decrease the dishwasher’s performance or cause it to malfunction.
WARNING
: Do not swallow dishwasher detergent. Avoid breathing in the fumes. Dishwasher
detergent contains irritants and caustic chemicals that can induce respiratory conditions. If you have
swallowed dishwasher detergent or inhaled the fumes, seek medical attention immediately.
WARNING
: Keep dishwasher detergent out of the reach of children.
Filling the detergent dispenser
1.
Open the detergent dispenser fl ap by pushing the detergent
dispenser release catch.
The flap is always open at the end of a dishwashing cycle.
2.
Add the recommended amount of detergent to the main
wash detergent compartment.
3.
Close the fl ap by sliding it to the left and then pressing it
down.
There is no separate button that is specific to using tablet
detergents.
4.
For better cleaning result, especially if you have very dirt
items, add small amount (about 8 g) of detergent on the
door. That will act in prewash phase.
