Using Your Dishwasher
Detergents
There are 3 sorts of detergents:
1. With phosphate and with chlorine
2. With phosphate and without chlorine
3. Without phosphate and without chlorine
Normally new pulverised detergent is without
phosphate. Thus 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
are used in the case of hard water often white spots
appear on 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 be removed completely. In this
case please choose a program with a higher
temperature.
Detergents have chemical ingredients that are
necessary to remove dirt, crush dirt and transport it
out of the dishwasher. Most of the commercial
quality detergents are suitable for this purpose.
Concentrated Detergent
Based on their chemical composition, detergents can
be split in two basic types:
Conventional, alkaline detergents with caustic
Ÿ
components
Low alkaline concentrated detergents with natural
Ÿ
enzymes
The use of “normal” washing programs in combination
with concentrated detergents reduces pollution and is
good for your dishes; these wash programs are
specifically matched to the dirt-dissolving properties
of the enzymes of the concentrated detergent. For this
reason “normal”wash programs in which
concentrated detergents are used can achieve the
same results that can otherwise only be achieved
using “intensive” programs.
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 programs. Therefore please use
long programs when using detergent tablets, to
ensure the complete removal of detergent residuals.
Detergent Dispenser
The dispenser must be refilled before the start of each
wash cycle following the instructions provided in the
wash cycle table. Your dishwasher uses less
detergent and rinse aid than Conventional
dishwasher. Generally, only one tablespoon of
detergent is needed for a normal wash load. 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.
Adding detergent to Dishwasher
If the lid is closed: press release button. The lid will
Ÿ
spring open.
Always add the detergent just before starting each
Ÿ
wash cycle.
Only use branded detergent aid for dishwasher.
Ÿ
Information regarding the amount of detergent for
Ÿ
each program is shown on Page 19.
Please note that soiling levels and water hardness
Ÿ
can effect wash results.
Please observe the manufacturer’s
Ÿ
recommendations on the detergent packaging.
Adjusting the Rinse Aid Dispenser
The rinse aid dispenser has six settings. Always start
with the dispenser set on "3". If spots and poor drying
are a problem, increase the amount of rinse aid
dispensed by removing the dispenser lid and rotating
the dial to "4". If the dishes are still not drying properly
or show spots, adjust the dial to the next higher level
until your dishes are spot free. The recommended
setting is "3". (Factory value is "3".)
NOTE: Increase the dose if there are drops of water or
lime spots on the dishes after washing. Reduce it if
there are sticky whitish stains on your dishes or a
bluish film on glassware or knife blades.
