User instructions
•Use only detergents specially formulated for dishwashers. For optimal washing results it is important to use a good quality detergent.
•The detergent packs must be sealed and stored in a dry place to prevent the formation of lumps which may negatively affect washing results. Once opened the detergent packs should not be kept for too long, otherwise the detergent loses its effectiveness.
•Do not use detergents formulated for washing dishes by hand, because they produce a great deal of foam and may negatively affect the operation of the dishwasher.
•Add the correct amount of detergent. An insufficient amount of detergent will result in a partial removal of dirt from the dishes, whereas an excessive amount is wasteful and does not improve the washing results.
•There are various types of detergents available on the market - liquid, powder and tablet forms
-characterised by different chemical compositions: some contain phosphates, whereas others are phosphate free and based on natural enzymes.
-Detergents containing phosphates are more effective against grease and starch at temperatures above 60°C.
-Enzyme detergents, on the other hand, are also effective at lower temperatures (from 40 to 55°C) and are more easily biodegradable. With enzyme detergents it is possible to obtain at low temperatures comparable results to those which can only be achieved at 65°C using
traditional detergents.
For the safeguarding of the environment we recommend the use of phosphate- and chlorine free detergents.
The introduction of detergent into the rinse aid dispenser, even in liquid form, will damage the dishwasher.
