FUNCTION OF DETERGENT

Detergents with its chemical ingredients are necessary to remove dirt, crush dirt and transport it out of the dishwasher. Most of commercial quality detergents are suitable for this purpose.

WARNING: Dishwasher detergent is corrosive! Take care to keep it out of reach of children.

Proper Use of Detergent

Use only detergent specifically made for use in dishwashers. Keep your detergent fresh and dry. Don’t put powder detergent into the dispenser until you’re ready to wash dishes.

Concentrated detergent

Based on their chemical composition, dishwasher detergent can be split in two basic types:

conventional, alkaline detergents with caustic components

low alkaline concentrated detergents with natural enzymes

The use of “normal” 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 of the concentrated detergent. For this reason “normal” wash programmes in which concentrated detergents are used can achieve the same results that can otherwise only be achieved using “intensive” programmes.

Detergent tablets

Detergent tablets of different brands dissolve at different speeds. For this reason some detergent tablets cannot dissolve and develop their full cleaning power during short programmes. Therefore please use long programmes when using detergent tablets, to unsure the complete removal of detergent residuals.

Detergent dispenser

The dispenser must be refilled before the start of each wash cycle following the instructions provided in the Wash Cycle Table. Your dishwasher uses less detergent and rinse aid then conventional dishwashers. Generally, only one tablespoon of detergent is needed for a normal wash load. Also, more heavily soiled items need more detergent. Always add the detergent just before starting the dishwasher, otherwise it could get damp and will not dissolve properly.

Fill the detergent in dispenser

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

Push latch to open

2. Always add the detergent just before starting each wash cycle. Only use branded detergent aid for dishwasher.
