ADDING THE DETERGENT
To open the detergent dispenser cap, lightly press the button
P
. Add the detergent and close the
cap carefully.
During the washing cycle, the dispenser will be opened automatically.
When a
SUPER
program is selected, in addition to the normal dose of detergent, it is
necessary to add an additional amount inside compartment
G
or
H
.
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 phosphate-free but contain
natural enzymes
.
- 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.
For the safeguarding of the environment we recommend the use of
phosphate- and chlorine
free
detergents.
Also available are tablet detergents which state that that no salt or rinse aid is required. In
some cases, these detergents might not give good results, especially with short and/or low-
temperature washing cycles.
If performance problems (e.g. a white coating on the tank or dishes, poor drying, dirt on dishes
at the end of the wash) are noted, users are advised to return to conventional products
(granular salt, powder detergent and liquid rinse aid).
However, please note that on return to the use of conventional salt, a number of cycles will be
required before the system becomes fully efficient again, so traces of white coating may still be
found on the tank and dishes. If the problem persists for too long, contact the After-Sales
Service.
When using detergent in tablet form (bear in mind that we recommend the use of three
separate products: detergent, salt and rinse aid), place the tablets in the cutlery rack. The
dispenser is designed to use powder or liquid detergent and the door does not open completely
during the washing cycle. This means that a tablet is not completely dissolved (released),
which may lead to the following:
-
not enough detergent released during the cycle, with poor washing results;
-
the detergent forms a solid block in the distributor and is released during the final rinse cycle.
The introduction of detergent into the rinse aid dispenser, even in liquid form, will damage
the dishwasher.
