Using the dishwasher
Warning!
Dishwasher detergent is corrosive! Take care to keep it out of reach of children!
• Use only detergent specifically made for use in dishwashers.
• Keep your detergent fresh and dry.
• Don't put powder detergent into the dispenser until your ready to wash dishes.
Detergent tablets
• The detergent tablets of different brands dissolve at different rates.
For this reason some detergent tablets do not dissolve during the short
wash cycles and can thus develop a sufficiently effective cleaning power.
• Therefore always choose a longer program, if you use the detergent tab-
lets, to remove all residues during the flushing process.
• Before using these products you should first check that the water hard-
ness in your supply is compatible with the use of these products as per
the detergent manufacturers instructions (on the product packaging).
Tip: When using combination products, the rinse-aid and salt lights are
no longer useful. It may be helpful to select the lowest possible setting
for water hardness.
Detergents
There are 3 sorts of detergents:
• With phosphate and with chlorine
• With phosphate and without chlorine
• Without phosphate and without chlorine
Normally new pulverised detergent is without phosphate.
Thus the water softener function of phosphate is not given.
In this case we recommend to fill salt in the salt container even
when the hardness of water is only 6 °dH. If detergents without
phosphate are used in the case of hard water often white spots ap-
pear on dishes and glasses. In this case please add more detergent
to reach better results.
Detergents without chlorine do only bleach a little. Strong and
coloured spots will not be removed completely. In this case please
choose a program with a higher temperature.
