OPERATION
(CONT.)
Extra detergent cavity
•
When a program with hot prewash is selected, extra detergent must be placed in the cavity
•
Only use dishwasher-specific detergents. 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.
•
The market offers liquid and powder detergents with differing chemical compositions, which
may contain phosphates, or be phosphate-free but contain natural enzymes.
•
Detergents containing phosphates are more effective against grease and starch at
temperatures above 140° F [60° C].
•
Enzyme detergents, on the other hand, are also effective at lower temperatures (from
104 to 131° F [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 149° F [65° C] using traditional detergents. For the safeguarding of the
environment we recommend the use of phosphate- and chlorine-free detergents.
•
When using detergent tabs, place them in the cutlery basket. The dispenser has been
designed for powder or liquid detergent. As the cover does not open completely during the
washing cycle, tabs are not fully released (dissolved).
This could generate the following problems:
- Insufficient detergent released during the cycle and poor washing results.
- The detergent is compacted in the dispenser and is released during the final rinse cycle.
THE INTRODUCTION OF DETERGENT INTO THE RINSE AID
DISPENSER, EVEN IN LIQUID FORM, WILL DAMAGE THE
DISHWASHER.
