Detergent
To fill the detergent compartment
1. Push the latch to open the compartment.
2. Add the required amount of detergent. The main detergent
compartment “b” (figure 2) has lines to allow for specific amounts
of detergent. These are marked at either 15 cm
3
or 25 cm
3
, to be used
depending on how dirty the dishes are.
If your dishes are in need of an intensive wash, then add 5 cm 3 of
detergent into the prewash section of the compartment “a” (figure 1).
3. Then close the detergent compartment lid until the latch locks.
Please note: You should only use detergents designed specifically for
use in dishwashers.
Combination detergents (e.g. 3-in-1 tablets) must not be used in any quick
wash or half load programme.
If using dishwasher tablets, always use the detergent compartment, do not
put them in the main body of the dishwasher or in the cutlery basket. The
solubility of dishwasher tablets can vary depending on the temperature and
duration of the programme. As a result, it is recommended that powder
detergents should be used in the shorter programmes to allow better
performance.
CDA recommends the use of separate detergent, rinse aid and dishwasher
salt rather than combination tablets as separates achieve better wash
performance.
If you do use combination detergents, add salt and rinse aid to the
dishwasher and then adjust the water hardness setting and rinse aid setting
to the minimum. When you then use separate detergents again, you should
fill the salt and rinse aid compartments, adjust the water hardness setting
to the maximum and run an empty wash, then adjust the water hardness
setting and the rinse aid setting to the appropriate level.
