Any brand of powder, gel and tablet detergents that have been designed for household dishwasher, may be used.
Keep detergents in a cool and dry place and out of the reach of children.
Detergent must be added to the container before each use.
Detergent overdose may cause scratches on your dishes and there may be traces of detergent left in your machine.
Three types of detergent are available
-Phosphate and containing chlorine.
-Phosphate containing no chlorine
-Neither containing phosphate nor chlorine
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.
