ADDING THE DETERGENT
To open the detergent dispenser cap, lightly press
the button
P
. Add the detergent and close the
cap carefully.
During the washing cycle, the dispenser will be
opened automatically.
•
When a program with hot prewash is selected (see program tab le),
extra detergent must b e placed in the cavity
G/H
(depending on
models).
•
Use
only
detergents specially formulated for dishwashers. For
optimal washing results it is important to use a good quality detergent.
•
The detergent packs must b e 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 b e
kept for too long, otherwise the detergent loses its effectiveness.
•
Do not use detergents formulated for washing dishes b y hand,
b ecause 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.
•
The market offers liquid and powder detergents with differing chemical
compositions, which may contain
phosphates
, or b e phosphate-free
b ut contain
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 b iodegradab le. With enzyme detergents it is possib le to
ob tain at low temperatures comparab le results to those which
can only b e achieved at
65°C
using traditional detergents.
For the safeguarding of the environment we recommend the use of
phosphate- and chlorine free
detergents.
