Bio Wash Programmes and Concentrated Detergents
Based on their chemical composition, dishwasher detergents can be
split into two basic types:
– Conventional, alkaline detergents with caustic components
– Weak alkaline concentrated detergents with natural enzymes.

The use of BIO wash programmes in conjunction with concentrated
detergents reduces pollution and is good for your dishes; the BIO wash
programmes are specially matched to the soil dissolving properties of
the enzymes in the concentrated detergent. It is for this reason that
BIO wash programmes can achieve the same results at 50 °C that can
otherwise only be achieved using 65 °C programmes.
During BIO programmes the water is briefly heated to more than 50 °C
so that the active oxygen becomes effective.

Detergent tablets from different manufacturers dissolve at different
rates. For this reason some detergent tablets cannot develop their full
cleaning power during short programmes. Therefore please use normal
programmes with pre wash when using detergent tablets.
Automatic Wash Programmes
During AUTOMATIC programmes, the amount of soiling on the dishes
is determined by the degree of water clouding.
If the load is small and the dishes lightly soiled the “pre wash”, “main
wash” and “rinsing” elements of the programme are shorter and there
is lower water consumption.
When the machine is fully loaded and the dishes very soiled the „pre
wash", “main wash” and “rinsing” elements of the programme take
longer and the water consumption is higher.
For this reason the programme duration, water and energy consump-
tion levels for AUTOMATIC programmes can vary within the given
ranges (see programme table).
In this way, the dishes are always washed to an optimum, while water
and electricity consumption are kept low.
