Use
only
detergents specially formulated for dishwashers. For
optimal washing results it is important to use a good quality
detergent.
•
The detergent packs must be sealed and stored in a dry place to
prevent the formation of lumps which may negatively affect washing
results. Once opened the detergent packs should not be kept for too
long, otherwise the detergent loses its effectiveness.
•
Do not use detergents formulated for washing dishes by hand,
because they produce a great deal of foam and may negatively
affect the operation of the dishwasher.
•
Add the correct amount of detergent. An insufficient amount of
detergent will result in a partial removal of dirt from the dishes,
whereas an excessive amount is wasteful and does not improve the
washing results.
•
There are various types of detergents available on the market -
liquid, powder and tablet forms - characterised by different chemical
compositions: some contain
phosphates
, whereas others are
phosphate free and based on
natural enzymes
.
-
Detergents containing
phosphates
are more effective against
grease and starch at
temperatures above 60°C
.
-
Enzyme
detergents, on the other hand, are also effective at lower
temperatures (
from 40 to 55°C
) and are more easily
biodegradable. With enzyme detergents it is possible to obtain at
low temperatures comparable results to those which can only be
achieved at
65°C
using traditional detergents.
For the safeguarding of the environment we recommend the use of
phosphate- and chlorine free
detergents.
The introduction of detergent into the rinse aid dispenser, even in
liquid form, will damage the dishwasher.
