Zanussi DA 6141 D manual Use of detergent, Fill with detergent, Detergent tablets

Use of detergent

Only use detergents specifically designed for use in dishwashers.

Using no more then the correct amount of detergent contributes to reducing pollution.

Prior to the start of a wash programme (not for the "Rinse and Hold" programme). The detergent is released during the washing phase.

Please observe the manufacturer’s dosing and storage recommendations as stated on the detergent packaging.

Fill with detergent

(Detergent dispenser type A)

1.If the lid is closed: press release button (1). The lid springs open.

2.Fill the detergent dispenser (2) with detergent. The marking indicates the dosing levels:

20 = approximately 20 ml of detergent

30 = approximately 30 ml of detergent

3.All programmes with prewash need an additional detergent dose (5/10 g) that must be placed in the prewash detergent chamber (3). This detergent will take effect during the prewash phase.

(Detergent dispenser type B)

2.Fill the detergent dispenser with detergent. The marking indicates the dosing levels: Min = approximately 15 g of detergent Max = approximately 30 g of detergent

3.Close the lid and press until it locks in place.

Detergent tablets

Detergent tablets of different brands dissolve at different speeds. For this reason some detergent tablets cannot develop their full cleaning power during short programmes. Therefore please use normal programmes with prewash when using detergent tablets.

Do not place the tablets in the tub or in the cutlery basket as this will result in poorer wash results. The tablets should be placed in the detergent dispenser.

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.

The use of 50°C 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 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 programmes.

Use of "3 in 1" combi detergent tablets

General advice

These products are tablets with combined detergent/rinse-aid and salt functions.

1.Before using these products you should first check that the water hardness in your supply is compatible with the use of these products as per the detergent manufacturers (on the product packaging).

2.These products should be strictly used according to the detergent manufacturers instructions.

3.If you encounter problems when using 3 in 1 products for the first time then please contact the detergent manufacturers care line (the telephone number is given on the product packaging).

Special advice

When using combination products, the rinse-aid and salt indicators are no longer useful (please note that only some dishwashers have these options).

For more information please refer to the instruction manual.

If you decide to turn back to the use of the standard detergent system we advise that you:

● Refill both the salt container and rinse aid dispenser.
