Using Your Dishwasher
Detergents
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.
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.
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.

Close the Detergent compartment
If your dishes are only moderately dirty. You may be
able to use less detergent.
Slide the compartment lid by sliding it to the front
Ÿ
and then pressing down.
If you are using detergent in tablet form, read the
Ÿ
manufacturer recommendations on the packaging
in order to determine where the tablets should be
placed inside the dishwasher (eg. in the cutlery
basket, detergent compartment etc;)
Make sure the lid on the detergent compartment is
closed, even if you are using a tablet.

WARNING! Dishwasher detergent is poisonous!
Take care to keep it out of reach of children.
Proper Use of Detergent
Only use detergent specifically made for the use in
Ÿ
dishwashers. Keep your detergent fresh and dry.
Don't put powdered detergent into the dispenser
Ÿ
until you're ready to wash dishes.
Please observe the manufacturers dosing and
Ÿ
storage recommendations as stated on the
detergent packaging.
If the dishes are heavily soiled, place an additional
Ÿ
detergent dose in the pre-wash detergent
chamber. This detergent will take effect during the
pre-wash phase.
NOTE: See information about the amount of
detergent for the single programs on ‘Wash Cycle
Table’. Please be aware, that according to the level
soiling and the specific hardness of water differences
are possible.
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/slide release button. The lid
Ÿ
will spring open.
Always add the detergent just before starting each
Ÿ
wash cycle.
Only use branded detergent aid for dishwasher.

Adding detergent to Dishwasher
Add detergent or tablet into the larger cavity (A) for
Ÿ
the main wash cycle . For better cleaning result,
especially if you have very dirt items, pour a small
amount of detergent onto the door (B). The
additional detergent will activate during the pre-
wash phase.
