Use of detergent
Only use detergents specifically designed for use in
dishwashers.
Using no more then the correct amount of detergent
contributes to reducing pollution.
Please observe the manufacturer’s dosing and storage
recommendations as stated on the detergent packaging.
Fill with detergent
1. If the lid is closed: press release button (1). The lid springs
open.
2. Fill the detergent dispenser (2) with detergent.
The marking indicates the dosing levels:
20 = approximately 20 g of detergent
30 = approximately 30 g of detergent
3. All programmes with prewash need an additional detergent
dose (5/10 g) that must be placed in the prewash detergent
chamber (3). This detergent will take effect during the
prewash phase.
4. Close the lid and press until it locks in place.

Detergent tablets
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 ensure the complete removal of
detergent residuals.
Do not place the tablets in the tub or in the cutlery basket
as this will result in poorer wash results. The tablets
should be placed in the detergent dispenser.
Concentrated detergent
Based on their chemical composition, dishwasher detergents
can be split into two basic types:
- conventional, alkaline detergents with caustic components.
- low alkaline concentrated detergents with natural enzymes.
The use of 50°C 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 in the concentrated
detergent. For this reason 50°C wash programmes in which
concentrated detergents are used can achieve the same
results that can otherwise only be achieved using 65°C
programmes.
Combi detergents
When using dishwasher detergents with integrated and
combined detergent/rinse-aid functions, the refilling of the
rinse aid dispenser is no longer necessary.
In this case the rinse aid dispenser must be empty, in order to
avoid a double dosage.
If in the rinse aid dispenser there is still rinse aid you must wait
until it has finished before using these kind of detergents.
The rinse aid indicator light will always remain illuminated
when the machine is switched on
(not all dishwasher models
are foreseen with rinse aid indicator light
).
Special salt for dishwasher must still be used.
Use of "3 in 1" combi detergents
General advice
These products are detergents with integrated and combined
detergent/rinse-aid and salt functions.
1. Before using these products you should first check that
the water hardness in your supply is compatible with
the use of these products as per the detergent
manufacturers (on the product packaging).
2. These products should be strictly used according to the
detergent manufacturers instructions.
3. If you encounter problems when using 3 in 1 products for
the first time then please contact the detergent
manufacturers care line (the telephone number is given on
the product packaging).
Special advice
When using combination 3 in 1 products select the "3 in
1" function.
If you decide to turn back to the use of the standard detergent
system we advise that you:
●
Refill both the salt container and rinse aid dispenser.
●
Switch the water hardness setting to the highest possible
position and run from 1 to 3 normal washing programmes
without a load.
●
Readjust the water hardness setting again according to the
hardness of the water in your area.
