Use of detergent
Only use detergents specifically designed for use in dishwashers.
Using no more then the correct amount of detergent contributes to reducing pollution.
Add detergent prior to the start of a wash programme (not for the "Rinse and Hold" programme, that does not require the use of detergent). The detergent is released during the washing phase.
Fill with detergent
1.If the lid is closed: open the dispenser by pulling the catch
(D). The lid springs open.
2.Fill the detergent dispenser with detergent. The marking indicates the dosing levels: Min = approximately 15 g of detergent Max = approximately 30 g of detergent
3.Close the lid and press until it locks in place.
Please observe the manufacturer’s dosing and storage recommendations as stated on the detergent packaging.

4.All programmes with prewash need an additional detergent dose (5/10 g) that must be placed in the WRD detergent dispenser, located in the centre of the upper basket.
This detergent will take effect during the prewash phase.
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 compartment must be empty, in order to avoid a double dosage and the rinse aid indicator light deactivated.
If in the rinse aid compartment there is still rinse aid you must wait until it has finished before using these kind of detergents.
