FUNCTION OF DETERGENT

Detergents with its chemical ingredients are necessary to remove dirt, crush dirt and transport it out of the
dishwasher. Most of commercial quality detergents are suitable for this purpose.
WARNING : Dishwasher detergent is corrosive! Take care to keep it out of reach of children.
Proper Use of Detergent
Use only detergent specifi cally made for use in dishwashers. Keep your detergent fresh and dry. Don't
put powder detergent into the dispenser until you're ready to wash dishes.
Concentrated detergent
Based on their chemical composition, dishwasher detergent can be split in two basic types:
• conventional, alkaline detergents with caustic components
• low alkaline concentrated detergents with natural enzymes
The use of "normal" 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 of the concentrated detergent. For this reason "normal"
wash programmes in which concentrated detergents are used can achieve the same results that
can otherwise only be achieved using "intensive" programmes.
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 unsure the complete
removal of detergent residuals.
Detergent dispenser
The dispenser must be refi lled before the start of each wash cycle following the instructions
provided in the Wash Cycle Table. Your dishwasher uses less detergent and rinse aid then
conventional dishwashers. Generally, only one tablespoon of detergent is needed for a normal
wash load. Also, more heavily soiled items need more detergent. Always add the detergent just
before starting dishwasher, otherwise it could get damp and will not dissolve properly.
