When a program with hot prewash is selected (see program table in the “De-
scription of Controls” manual), extra detergent must be placed in the cavity
(ref. A or B fi g. 4-06, depending on models).
Only use dishwasher-specifi c 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 insuffi cient 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 com-
positions, which may contain phosphates, or be phosphate-free but con-
tain natural enzymes.
Detergents containing phosphates are more effective against grease and
starch at temperatures above 60°C (140°F).
Enzyme detergents, on the other hand, are also effective at lower tempera-
tures (from 40 to 55°C / from 104 to 131°F) and are more easily biodegrad-
able. With enzyme detergents it is possible to obtain at low temperatures
comparable results to those which can only be achieved at 65°C (149°F)
using traditional detergents. For the safeguarding of the environment we
recommend the use of phosphate- and chlorine-free detergents.
