ADDING THE DETERGENT
To open the detergent dispenser cap, lightly press
the button P. Add the detergent and close the cap
carefully.
During the washing cycle, the dispenser will be
opened automatically.
•
When a program with hot prewash is selected (see program table),
extra detergent must be placed in the cavity G/H (depending on
models).
•
Use only detergents specially formulated for dishwashers. For
optimal washing results it is important to use a good quality
detergent.
•
The detergent packs must be sealed and stored in a dry place to
prevent the formation of lumps which may negatively affect washing
results. Once opened the detergent packs should not be kept for too
long, otherwise the detergent loses its effectiveness.
•
Do not use detergents formulated for washing dishes by hand,
because they produce a great deal of foam and may negatively
affect the operation of the dishwasher.
•
Add the correct amount of detergent. An insufficient amount of
detergent will result in a partial removal of dirt from the dishes,
whereas an excessive amount is wasteful and does not improve the
washing results.
