Electrolux 60820 manual Concentrated Detergent, Detergent tablets, Automatic Wash Programmes

Operating Instructions

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.

2 The use of 50 °C wash 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 pro- grammes.

Detergent tablets

3 Detergent tablets of different makes dissolve at different speeds. For this reason some detergent tablets cannot develop their full cleaning power during short programmes. Therefore please use normal pro- grammes with pre wash when using detergent tablets.

Automatic Wash Programmes

During the AUTOMATIC programmes the amount of soiling on the dishes is determined by how cloudy the water is.

If the appliance is partially loaded and the dishes lightly soiled, the “pre wash”, “main wash” and “rinsing” elements of the programme are shorter and the water consumption level is lower.

If the appliance is fully loaded and the dishes heavily soiled, the “pre wash”, “main wash” and “rinsing” elements of the programme are longer and the water consumption level is higher.

For this reason the programme duration, water and energy consump- tion levels can vary within the stated range for AUTOMATIC pro- grammes (see Programme Table).

In this way, the dishes are always optimally washed while water and electricity consumption are kept low.

During AUTOMATIC programmes the temperature of the wash water is also automatically adjusted to between 50 °C and 65 °C depending on the amount of soiling on the dishes.
