Normally new pulverised detergent is with out phosphate. Thus the water softener function of
phosphate is not given. In this case we recommend to fill salt in the salt con taine r even when
the hardness of water is only 6 dH. If dete rgents witho 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. Stron g and coloured spots will not
be removed completely. In this case please choose a program with a higher temperature.
Concentrated Detergent
Based on their chemical composition, deterge nts can be split in two basic types:
conventional, alkaline dete rgents with caus tic comp onents
low alkalin e co ncentrated detergen ts with n atural enzymes

The use of normal washing progra ms in combination with concentrated detergen ts
reduces pollution and is good for your dishes; these wash p rograms are specifically matche d
to the dirt-dissolving properties o f the enzymes of the concentrated de terg ent. For this reason

normal wash programs in which conce ntrated detergents are used can achie ve the same

Detergent Tablets
Detergent 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

Detergent Dispenser
The dispenser must be refilled before the start of each wash cycle following the instructions
provided in the wash cycle table . Your dis hwa sher uses less de tergent and rinse aid than
Conventional dis hwa sher. Generally, only one tablespoon of detergent is needed for
a normal wash load. More heavily soiled items need more detergent. Alway s ad d the
detergent just be fore starting the dish was her, otherwise it could get damp and will not
dissolve properly.
