Preventive measures:
1. If you wish to continue using the new
chlorine and phosphate-free pro-
ducts, the following is recommended:
– Set the water hardness selector one
setting higher than recommended in
the “Water softener” chapter, if the
water hardness is at the top of the
scale (except with setting 6).
Example:
above 610 mg/l (34 °d ) set the
water hardness selector to setting 4.
– Try out an environmentally friendly
detergent of the same type from an-
other manufacturer.
2. If you are still dissatisfied with the re-
sults, we recommend the use of
chlorine-free but not phosphate-free
detergent.
– The instructions given in this book
for setting the water softener and dis-
pensing detergent remain valid.
3. If results are still not to your satisfac-
tion, you should revert back to using
conventional detergents containing
both chlorine and phosphate.
– The instructions given in this book
for setting the water softener and dis-
pensing detergent remain valid.
Should you experience difficulties when
using these types of products, please
contact the detergent manufacturer’s
own Advisory Service.
Dishwasher detergent must be added
before each programme (except PRE-
WASH).
– Pour powder or liquid detergent into
the dispenser.
– Dishwasher detergent tablets can be
put at various places in the wash
cabinet, (follow the manufacturer’s
advice on the packet).
Detergent manufacturers give the re-
quired amount of detergent in ml (or g)
on the packaging.
For UNIVERSAL programmes use at
least 30 ml (or g) detergent unless ad-
vised to use more by the manufacturer,
then use what they advise.
The amount to dispense will depend on
the type of load and the programme se-
lected.
See the programme chart on the next
pages for advice on amounts to dis-
pense.
If you buy detergent in bulk please
ensure that the container is always
properly sealed after use. Otherwise
the detergent can lose its effective-
ness.
