Detergent
Normally new pulverised detergent is without phosphate. Thus the water softener function of
phosphate is not given. In this case we recommend to fill salt in the salt container even when
the hardness of water is only 7
*
clarke. If detergents without phosphate are used in the case of
hard water often white spots appear on dishes and glasses. In this case please add more
detergent to reach better results. Detergents without chlorine do only bleach a little. Strong and
coloured spots will not be removed completely. In this case please choose a program with a
higher temperature.
Concentrated Detergent
Based on their chemical composition, detergents can be split in two basic types:
•
conventional, alkaline detergents with caustic components
•
low alkaline concentrated detergents with natural enzymes
Detergent Tablets
Detergent tablets of different brands dissolve at different speeds. For this reason some
detergent tablets cannot dissolve and develop their full cleaning power during short programs.
Therefore please use long programs when using detergent tablets, to ensure the complete
removal of detergent residuals.
Detergent Dispenser
The dispenser must be refilled before the start of each wash cycle following the instructions
provided in the wash cycle table. Generally, only one tablespoon of detergent is needed for a
normal wash load. More heavily soiled items will need more detergent. Always add the
detergent just before starting the dishwasher, otherwise it could get damp and will not dissolve
properly if added mid cycle.
