Loading the detergent and the rinse aid.
Filling the detergent container
It is essential to use a detergent that is specifically designed for dishwashers
either in powder, liquid or tablet form.
Unsuitable detergents (like those for washing up by hand) do not contain the proper
ingredients for use in a dishwasher and stop the dishwasher from working correctly.
Ref. IEC 436 Standards:
1) Upper basket position: low
2) Normal load
3) Shine setting: 3
4) Amount of detergent:
– 5 gr for pre-wash
– 25 gr for wash.
Ref. EN 50242 Standards:
1) Upper basket position: low
2) Normal load
3) Shine setting: 3
4) Amount of detergent:
– 30 gr for wash.
Normal wash
The detergent container is inside the door
(fig. A “2”). If the lid of the container is closed
press the button to open.
At the end of every wash cycle the lid is
always open and ready for the next time the
dishwasher is used.
The amount of detergent to be used varies
according to how dirty the dishes are and on
the type of dishes to be washed.
We advise using 20-30 gr of detergent in the
wash section of detergent compartment (1).
After pouring the detergent into the
container close the lid.
Since not all detergents are the same the instructions on the boxes of detergent can
vary. We should just like to remind users that too little detergent does not clean the
dishes properly whilst too much detergent will not produce better results and is also
a waste. Do not use an excessive amount of detergent and help limit damage to the
environment at the same time.
Wash with soaking cycle (some models only)
(Prewash)
If setting the intensive wash programme, a second dose of about 20 gr of
detergent (1 table-spoon) must be added to the machine in the prewash section of
detergent compartment (2).
For normal programme add 5 gr. This dose should be placed directly in the prewa-
sh section of detergent compartment (2).
