Combined detergent
Points to consider when using this type of products:
Use a detergent specifically designed for use in domestic dishwashers.
You can find powder,gel,and tablet detergents in the market that have been designed for
household dishwashers.
Detergent should be put into the compartment prior to starting the machine. Keep your
detergents in cool, dry places out of reach of your children.
Do not fill detergent into the detergent compartment more than required; otherwise it may
cause scratches on your glasses as well as lead to a poorly dissolved detergent.
Should you need more information concerning the detergent you will use, contact detergent
manufacturers directly.
Push the latch to open the detergent container as shown in
the image. 1 Detergent pod has level lines inside. It is
possible to measure the right detergent amount using these
lines. Detergent pod can take totally 40 cm3 detergent.
Open the dishwasher detergent and pour into the larger
compartment b 25 cm3 if your dishes are heavily soiled or
15 cm3 if they are
less soiled.2 If
your dishes have
been kept dirty for
a very long time, if
there are dried
food wastes on them, and if you have overly loaded
the dishwasher, pour a 5 cm3 detergent into the pre-
wash compartment and start your machine.
You may have to add more detergent into your
machine, depending on the degree of soil and on the
water hardness level in your area.
Detergent manufacturers also produce combined detergents called “2 in 1”, “3 in 1” or “5 in 1”
etc.
“2 in 1” detergents contain det salt or rinse aid. When using “2 in 1” detergents make
sure to check the specifications of the tablet.
Other tablet detergents contain det rinse aid + salt + varlous extra functions.
