12.1 The correct detergents
Only use detergents that are made for dishwashers, either
basic or combination detergents.
For the best washing and drying results, use a separate
detergent, then add Special salt and Rinse aid
separately.
Modern, powerful detergents mainly use a low-alkaline for-
mulation with enzymes. Enzymes break down starch and
remove protein. Oxygen-based bleaching agents are gen-
erally used to remove colored stains, e.g. tea or ketchup.
Note:
Follow the manufacturer's instructions for each de-
tergent.
