Detergents
There are 3 sorts of d etergents
1.With phosphate and with ch lorine
2.With phosphate and without chlorine
3.Withou t phosphate and without chlorine
Normally new pulverised detergent is with out phosphate. T hus the water softener fu nction of
phospha te is not given. In this case we recommend to fill salt in the salt con taine r even w hen
the hardness of water is only 6 dH. If dete rgents w itho ut phosphate are used in the case of hard water
often white spots appear on d ishes and glasses. In this case please add more detergent to reach
better results. Detergents without chlorine do only bleach a little. S tron g and coloured spots will not
be removed com pletely. In this case please choose a program with a higher temperature.
Concentrated Detergent
Based on their chem ical com position, deterge nts can be split in two basic types:
co nventional, alkaline dete rgents w ith caus tic comp onents
low alkalin e co ncentrated detergen ts with n atural enzym es
Detergent Tablets
Dete rgent tablets of diffe rent brands disso lve at different speeds. For this reason some
detergent tablets cannot dissolve and develop the ir full cleaning power during short
prog rams. There fore please use long program s wh en u sin g deterg ent tablets, to
ensure the complete rem oval of detergent residua ls.
Detergent Dispenser
The dispenser m ust be re filled before the start of each wash cycle following the instructions
provided in the w ash cycle table . Your dis hwa sher uses less de tergent and rinse aid than
