Adding detergent
Pour detergent into the dispenser
30
(insert tablet flat, not on its edge).
Dosage: see manufacturer’s
instructions on the packaging.
Close the cover on the detergent
dispenser by sliding it up until the lock
engages without difficulty.
The detergent dispenser opens
automatically at the optimum time
depending on the programme.
The powder or liquid detergent
is distributed in the appliance and
is dissolved, the tablet falls into the
tablet collecting tray where it dissolves
in doses.
Tip
If the utensils are only lightly soiled,
slightly less than the indicated amount
of detergent is usually adequate.
Warnings
Do not place small parts for washing
in the tablet collecting tray
22
; this
prevents the tablet from dissolving
evenly.
If you want to add more utensils after
the programme has started, do not
use the tablet collecting tray
22
as a handle for the upper basket.
The tablet could already be there and
you will touch the partially dissolved
tablet.
Note
You will obtain optimum rinsing and
drying results by using solo detergents
and applying salt and rinse-aid
separately.
f programmes are short, tablets may not
have full cleaning effect due to different
dissolving properties and there may
even be undissolved detergent residue.
It is recommended to use washing
powder for these programmes.
The Intensive programme (on some
models) requires one tab only. When
using washing powder, you can apply
some of this cleaning agent to the
inside of the appliance’s door.
Even if the rinse-aid and/or salt refill
indicator is lit, the rinse programme will
run correctly if combined detergents
are used (when using combined
detergents, add rinse-aid at a water
hardness above 21
_
dH – see chapter
entitled “Rinse-aid”).
If you switch from combined detergents
to solo detergents, ensure that the
water softening system and amount
of rinse-aid have been set to the correct
value.
If using detergents in a water-soluble
protective cover: Take hold of the cover
with dry hands only and put the
detergent into an absolutely dry
detergent dispenser only, otherwise
the detergent may stick.
