Measuring out the detergent

A good wash result also depends on the correct amount
of detergent being used; exceeding the stated amount
does not result in a more effective wash and increases
environmental pollution.
Only use detergent which has been specifically
designed for dishwashers.
DO NOT USE washing up liquid.
Using excessive detergent may result in foam residue
remaining in the machine after the cycle has ended.
The use of tablets is only recommended for models
which offer the MULTI-FUNCTIONAL TABLETS option.
To achieve the best results from each washing and
drying cycle, powder detergent, rinse aid liquid and salt
should be used.
