Different kinds of detergent
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 ensure the complete removal of detergent residuals.
Do not place the tablets in the tub or in the cutlery basket as this will result in poorer wash results. The tablets should be placed in the detergent dispenser.
Concentrated detergent
Based on their chemical composition, dishwasher detergents can be split into two basic types:
-conventional, alkaline detergents with caustic components.
-low alkaline concentrated detergents with natural enzymes. The use of 50°C washing programmes in conjunction with concentrated detergents reduces pollution and is good for your dishes; these wash programmes are specially matched to the
Combi detergents
If you are using dishwasher detergent that includes the rinse aid function, this must be placed in the detergent compartment.
In this case the rinse aid dispenser must be empty, in order to avoid a double dosage.
If there is still rinse aid in the rinse aid dispenser you must wait until it has finished before using these kind of detergents.
NOTE: When using dishwasher detergents with
integrated and combined
Special salt for dishwasher must still be used.
In this case the rinse aid indicator light will always remain illuminated when the machine is switched on (not all dishwasher models are foreseen with rinse aid indicator light).
