•
Use only detergents specially formulated for dishwashers. 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 insufficient 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 compositions, which may contain phosphates, or be
- Detergents containing phosphates are more effective against
grease and starch at temperatures above 60°C.
- Enzyme detergents, on the other hand, are also effective at lower
temperatures (from 40 to 55°C) and are more easily
biodegradable. With enzyme detergents it is possible to obtain at
low temperatures comparable results to those which can only be
achieved at 65°C using traditional detergents.

"3/1" Products
If you wish to use detergents which already contain salt and rinse
aid, check whether your dishwasher is fitted with the "3/1 option
button" on the "Controls description" page and then refer to the
section which explains how to use this function.
If the button is not provided, we recommend the use of conventional
products (separate detergent, salt and rinse aid), because with
conventional washing cycles "3/1" products might create problems
such as a white deposit, poor drying results and residues left on
dishes.
The introduction of detergent into the rinse aid dispenser, even in
liquid form, will damage the dishwasher.
