TYPES OF DETERGENT
Detergent tablets
Detergent tablets of different manufacturers dissolve at different speeds, for this reason, during short programmes, some detergent tablets may be not fully effective, because they are not completely dissolved. If these products are used, is recommended to choose longer programmes to guarantee the complete use of the detergent.
IMPORTANT
To get satisfactory washing results, the tablets MUST be placed in the wash section of the detergent container and NOT directly in the tub.
Concentrated detergents
The concentrated detergents, with reduced alkalinity and with natural enzymes, in conjunction with 50°C wash programmes, have a smaller impact on the environment and they protect the dishes and the dishwasher.
The 50°C wash programmes purposely exploit the
Combined detergents
The detergents that also contain the rinse aid must be placed in the wash section of the detergent container. The rinse aid container must be empty (if it is not empty, set the rinse aid regulator to lowest position before using combined detergents).
"ALL in 1" combined detergents
If you are planning to use “ALL in 1” (“3 in 1 “/ “4 in 1”/ “5 in 1”, etc.) combined detergents i.e. those with built in salt and/or rinse agent, we would advise the following:
■read carefully and follow the manufacturer’s instructions given on the packaging;
■the effectiveness of detergents containing the built in water softener/salt depends on the hardness of your water supply. Check that the hardness of your water supply is within the effective range given on the detergent packaging.
If when using this type of product, you don't get satisfactory washing results, please contact the detergent manufacturer.
In certain circumstances use of combined detergents can cause:
■limescale deposits on dishes or in the dishwasher;
■a reduction in washing and drying performance.
IMPORTANT
Any problems which arise as a direct result of the use of these products are not covered by our warranty.
Please note that using the "ALL in 1" combined detergents, the rinse aid and salt indicator lights (only used on selected models) are superfluous, so you must ignore the lights.
If washing and/or drying problems occur, we recommend you return to use traditional separate products (salt, detergent and rinse agent). This will ensure that the water softener in the dishwasher operates correctly.
In this case, we recommends that you:
■refill both the salt and rinse aid container;
■run one normal washing cycle without a load.
Please note that on return to the use of conventional salt, a number of cycles will be required before the system becomes fully efficient again.
