New compact powders are generally phosphate-free. As phosphates have water softening properties, we suggest you add salt to the salt container even if the hardness of your water is as low as a 6 clarke degrees.

In hard water areas if a phosphate free detergent is used, white marks on the dishes and glasses may be observed. It may be prevented by increasing the amount of detergent.

Detergents without chlorine have less bleaching effect. Coloured stains may not be completely removed. This may be prevented by increasing the amount of detergent, using a programme with a higher wash temperature or using a detergent with chlorine.

•Put your appliance’s rinse aid setting at “1” and apply rinse aid. When the rinse aid is used up, add more rinse aid to the rinse aid dispenser.
