ADDING THE DETERGENT
To open the detergent dispenser cap, lightly press the program button.Add the detergent and close
the cap carefully.
During the washing cycle, the dispenser will be opened automatically.
When a SUPER program is selected, in addition to the normal dose of detergent, it is necessary
to add an additional amount inside compartment
G or H.
Use
only detergents specially formulated for dishwashers. 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.
There are various types of detergents available on the market - liquid, powder and tablet forms -
characterized by different chemical compositions: some contain
phosphates, whereas others
are phosphate free and based on
natural enzymes.
- Detergents containing
phosphates are more effective against grease and starch at temper-
atures above 140°F
.
-
Enzyme detergents, on the other hand, also effective at lower temperatures (from 104°F
to 131°F)
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 using
traditional detergents.
For the safeguarding of the environment we recommend the use of
phosphate- and chlorine
free
detergents.
CAUTION: The introduction of detergent into the rinse aid dispenser, even in liquid form will damage
the dishwasher.
