Dete rgent tablets of diffe rent brands disso lve at di fferent speeds. For this reason some
detergent tablets cannot dissolve and develop the ir full cleaning power during short
prog rams. There fore please use l ong program s wh en u sin g deterg ent tablets, to
ensure the complete removal of detergent residua ls.
The dispenser must be re filled before the start of each wash cycle f ollowing the instructi ons

Normally new pulverised detergent is with out phosphate. T hus the water softener fu nction of
phospha te is not given. In this case we recommend to fill salt in the salt con taine r even when
the hardness of water is only 6 dH. If dete rgents witho ut phosphate are used in the case of hard water
often white spots appear on d ishes and glasses. In this case please add more detergent to reach
better results. Detergents without chlorine do only bleach a little. S tron g and coloured spots will not
be removed completely. I n this case please choose a program with a higher temperature.
