Adding detergent 

Only use detergents formulated for use in 
dishwashers.  
Detergent  tablets  or  composite  tablets 
containing  detergent,  softener  and  rinse 
aid may also be used. 
 

The  detergent  and  rinse  aid  dispensers  are 
on the inside of the door. 
The detergent compartment is on the left. 
Open the detergent compartment by pushing 
the  locking  lever  to  the  right 

(A).

  Add 

detergent  before  each  wash  and  close  the 
lid. 
 
The lines on the inside of the detergent 
container  assist in measuring the correct 
amount of detergent. The container can hold 
40cm³ of detergent.(

1)

 

For a full load and relatively dirty dishes , fill 
the container to the 25cm³ mark. 
For  slightly  soiled  dishes  and  a  partial  load, 
fill the compartment to the 15cm³ mark. 
If detergent tablets are used, these should be 
placed in the detergent dispenser. 
If  food  particles  are  stuck  and  the  dishes 
have  not  been  washed  for  a  long  time,  
supplement  the  detergent  by  adding  an 
additional 

amount 

to 

the 

open 

oval 

depression  to  the  right  of  the  detergent 
compartment

.(2)

 

 
During  the  wash  programme,  the  detergent 
will  be  dispensed  automatically  and  the  lid 
will  be  left  open.  The  best  washing  results 
are  obtained  using  detergent,  rinse  aid  and 
water softening salts. 
 

Multi  purpose  tablet  detergents 

are 

available and can give satisfactory results.  
These are classified as follows: 

2  in  1: 

Contain  detergent  and  rinse  aid  or 

water softening salt. 

3  in  1: 

Contain  detergent,  rinse  aid,  water 

softening salt. 

4  in  1: 

Contain  detergent,  rinse  aid,  water 

softening salt and a glass protector. 

5  in  1: 

Contain  detergent,  rinse  aid,  water 

softening  salt,  a  glass  protector  and  a 
stainless steel protector. 

Do  not  use  tablet  detergents  in  short 
programmes  since  their  total  solubility  is 
dependent on temperature and time.
