When a program with hot prewash is selected (see program table in the “De- •
scription of Controls” manual), extra detergent must be placed in the cavity
(ref. A or B fi g. 4-06, depending on models).
Only • use dishwasher-specifi c detergents. For optimal washing results it is im-
portant to use a good quality detergent.
The detergent packs must be sealed and stored in a dry place to prevent the
•
formation of lumps which may negatively aff ect washing results. Once opened
the detergent packs should not be kept for too long, otherwise the detergent
loses its eff ectiveness.
Do not use detergents formulated for washing dishes by hand, because they
•
produce a great deal of foam and may negatively aff ect the operation of the
dishwasher.
Add the correct amount of detergent. An insuffi
cient amount of detergent will •
result in a partial removal of dirt from the dishes, whereas an excessive amount
is wasteful and does not improve the washing results.
The market off ers liquid and powder detergents with diff ering chemical com-
•
positions, which may contain phosphates , or be phosphate-free but contain
natural enzymes .
Detergents containing • phosphates are more eff ective against grease and
starch at temperatures above 60°C (140°F) .
Enzyme detergents, on the other hand, are also eff ective at lower temperatures •
( from 40 to 55°C / from 104 to 131°F ) and are more easily biodegradable. With
enzyme detergents it is possible to obtain at low temperatures comparable
results to those which can only be achieved at
65°C (149°F) using traditional
detergents. For the safeguarding of the environment we recommend the use
of
phosphate- and chlorine-free detergents.
