Detergent tablets
Detergent tablets of different brands dissolve at different
speeds. For this reason some detergent tablets cannot
dissolve and develop their full cleaning power during short
programmes.Therefore please use long programmes when
using detergent tablets, to ensure the complete removal of
detergent residuals.
Do not place the tablets in the tub or in the cutlery basket
as this will result in poorer wash results. The tablets
should be placed in the detergent dispenser.
Concentrated detergent
Based on their chemical composition, dishwasher detergents
can be split into two basic types:
- conventional, alkaline detergents with caustic components.
- low alkaline concentrated detergents with natural enzymes.
The use of 50°C washing programmes in conjunction with
concentrated detergents reduces pollution and is good for
your dishes;these wash programmes are specially matched to
the dirt-dissolving properties of the enzymes in the
concentrated detergent. For this reason 50°C wash
programmes in which concentrated detergents are used can
achieve the same results that can otherwise only be achieved
using 65°C programmes.
Combi detergents
If you are using dishwasher detergent that includes the rinse
aid function, this must be placed in the detergent
compartment.
In this case it is necessary to deactivate the rinse aid
dispenser, in order to avoid a double dosage.
Use of "3 in 1" combi detergents
