• Washing tableware in a household dishwasher usually consumes less energy and water in the use phase than hand

salt not specifically designed for the use in a dishwasher, especially table salt, will
damage the water softener. Incase of damages caused by the use of unsuitable
salt the manufacturer does not give any warranty nor is liable for any damages caused.
Only fill with salt just before starting one of the complete washing programs.
This will prevent any grains of salt or salty water, which may have been spilled,
remaining on the bottom of the machine for any period of time, which may cause

Be aware that depending on the soiling of water, setting may be different.
Please observe the manufacturer's recommendations on the detergent packaging.


Based on their chemical composition, detergents can be split in two basic types:
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
programs. Therefore please use long programs when using detergent tablets, to
ensure the complete removal of detergent residuals.
The dispenser must be refilled before the start of each wash cycle following the instructions
provided in the wash cycle table . Your dishwasher uses less detergent and rinse aid than
Conventional dishwasher. Generally, only one tablespoon of detergent is needed for
a normal wash load. More heavily soiled items need more detergent. Always add the
detergent just before starting the dishwasher, otherwise it could get damp and will not
dissolve properly.
Concentrated Detergent
Detergent Tablets
Detergent Dispenser
conventional, alkaline detergents with caustic components
low alkaline concentrated detergents with natural enzymes
Normally new pulverised detergent is without phosphate. Thus the water softener function of
phosphate is not given. In this case we recommend to fill salt in the salt container even when
the hardness of water is only 6 °dH. If detergents without phosphate are used in the case of hard water
often white spots appear on dishes and glasses. In this case please add more detergent to reach
better results. Detergents without chlorine do only bleach a little. Strong and coloured spots will not
be removed completely. In this case please choose a program with a higher temperature.
Detergents
There are 3 sorts of detergents
1.With phosphate and with chlorine
2.With phosphate and without chlorine
3.Without phosphate and without chlorine
Detergents with its chemical ingredients are necessary to remove dirt, crush dirt and transport it out of the dishwasher.
Most of the commercial quality detergents are suitable for this purpose.
D. Function of Detergent
Proper Use of Detergent
Use only detergent specifically made for the use in dishwashers. Keep your detergent fresh and dry.
Don't put powdered detergent into the dispenser until you're ready to wash dishes.
