•

The amount of rinse aid must be

increased

if the washed dishes appear dull or feature circular

stains.

•

If, on the other hand, the dishes are sticky or have white streaks, it is necessary to

reduce

the

rinse aid setting.

ADDING THE DETERGENT

To open the detergent dispenser cap, lightly press the button

. 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

•

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.

The introduction of detergent into the rinse aid dispenser, even in liquid form, will damage

the dishwasher.
