Notes:

To make it easier to measure out the detergent, it is worth remembering that:

1 tablespoon = 15 gr. of powder = approximately 15 ml of liquid - 1 teaspoon = 5 gr. of powder = approximately 5 ml of liquid

Optimum performance levels when using the "Daily A 60 wash" and "Fast wash/Speed 25’" cycles can be achieved by observing the maximum amounts of crockery specified.

*The Eco wash cycle adheres to the regulation EN-50242. Although it has a longer duration than other wash cycles it uses less energy and is les harmful to the environment.
