Normally new pulverised detergent is without phosphate. The water softener function of phosphate is not given. In this case we
recommend to fill salt in the salt container even when the hardness of water is only 6'dH. If detergents without phosphate were
used in case of hard water often white spots appear at dishes and glasses. In this case please add more detergent to reach
better results. Detergents without chlorine do only bleach a little. Strong and coloured spots will not removed completely. In this
case please choose a programme with higher Temperature.
Concentrated Detergent
Based on their chemical composition, dishwasher can be split in two basic types:
„
conventional, alkaline detergents with caustic components
„
low alkaline concentrated detergents with natural enzymes
The use of "normal" 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 of the concentrated
detergent. For this reason "normal" wash programmes in which concentrated detergents are used can achieve the same results
that can otherwise only be achieved using "intensive" programmes.
Detergent Tablets
Detergent tablets of different brands dissolve at different speeds. For this reason some detergent tablets can not 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.
NOTE: Detergent tablets are only for the models with 3 in 1 function or 3 in 1 program.
Detergent Dispenser
The dispenser must be re filled before the start of each wash cycle following the instructions provided in the Wash Cycle Table.
Your dishwasher uses less detergent and rinse aid then conventional dishwasher. Generally, only one tablespoon of detergent
is needed for a normal wash load. Also, more heavily soiled items need more detergent. Always add the detergent just before
starting the dishwasher, otherwise it could get damp and will not dissolve properly.
