Use of detergent

Only use detergents specifically designed for use in dishwashers.

We recommend the use of Finish detergents which are available in the following options:

Finish Double Action Tablets. Each tablet has the exact amount of detergent required, simply place in the dispenser.

Finish Powder recommended for every day use.

Finish Liquid Gel ideal for every day use. As the gel is extra gentle it is recommended for fine both china.

If using powder detergents proceed as follows:

1.Open the dispenser lid by pulling the catch (D).

2.Add the detergent according to the recommendations in the programme chart. As all detergents are not the same, you should also consult the instructions on the packet.

3.Always close the lid.

4.If the programme has a prewash add the required detergent in the SID detergent dispenser, located in the centre of the upper basket.

If using detergent in tablets proceed as follows:

1.For all programmes; place 1 tablet inside the detergent dispenser.

2.Always close the lid.

3.For all programmes with prewash; place a portion of a further tablet on the lid of the detergent dispenser.

Insufficient quantities of detergent will produce poor washing results, whereas an excessive amount of detergent will not improve washing results and is also wasteful.

Using no more than the correct amount also contributes to reducing pollution.

Compact detergents with enzymes

In these compact powders the environmently unfriendly components have been replaced by natural enzymes and other more biodegradable substances.

The enzymes deploy their full dirt dissolving power at a temperature as low as 50°C.

By choosing the "50°C" programmes you can therefore achieve the same cleaning results that would otherwise be achievable only with 65°C programmes and conventional detergents.

These new compact powders are generally phosphate-free.

As phosphates have water softening properties, we suggest you add salt to the salt container even if the hardness of your water is as low as 7°TH.

This will avoid lime deposits on crockery and the inner tub.
