suitable for your appliance.

11.1

detergents

Only use detergents that are

made for dishwashers, either ba-

separately.

Modern, powerful detergents

mainly use a low-alkaline formula-

tion with enzymes. Enzymes

break down starch and remove

protein. Oxygen-based bleaching

agents are generally used to re-

move colored stains, e.g. tea or

ketchup.

Note:

Follow the manufacturer's

instructions for each detergent.

Description

Tabs

Tabs are perfect for

all cleaning functions

and do not need to

be measured out.

However, with

shorter Cycles

Page 14

some-

times tabs do not

dissolve entirely and

leave residues of de-

tergent. This may re-

duce its effective-

ness.

Powder

detergent

Powder detergent is

recommended for

shorter cycles. The

dosage can be ad-

justed to the level of

soiling.

Liquid de-

tergent

Liquid detergent

works faster and is

recommended for

shorter cycles with-

out a pre-rinse.

Sometimes liquid

detergent may leak

out despite the de-

tergent dispenser

being closed. This is

not a problem, just

remember the fol-

lowing:

¡

Only choose a cy-

cle without Pre-

Rinse.

¡

Do not use the

Delay Start op-

tion.

The dosage can be

adjusted to the level

of soiling.
