5 - Detergents and use
Any brand of powder, gel and all in one tablets that have
been designed for household dishwashers, may be used.
Keep detergents in a cool and dry place and out of the reach of
children.
Detergent must be added to the container before each use.
Detergent overdose may cause scratches on your dishes and
there may be traces of detergent left in your machine.
Three types of detergent are available
• Phosphate and containing chlorine.
• Phosphate containing no chlorine
• Neither containing phosphate nor chlorine
New compact powders are generally phosphate-free. As
phosphates have water softening properties, we suggest you add
salt to the salt container even if the hardness of your water is as
low as a 6 clarke degrees.
In hard water areas if a phosphate free detergent is used, white
marks on the dishes and glasses may be observed. It may be
prevented by increasing the amount of detergent.
Detergents without chlorine have less bleaching effect. Coloured
stains may not be completely removed. This may be prevented by
increasing the amount of detergent, using a programme with a
higher wash temperature or using a detergent with chlorine.
Warning: Two-in-one and three-in-one detergents.
You will obtain the best results from your dishwasher if you use
separate detergent, rinse aid and water-softening salt.
Using three-in-one detergent, softening salt and rinse aid.
These detergents will not give you the same drying performance
that you can obtain by using separate detergent, salt and rinse
aid. To increase the drying performance:
• Put your appliance’s rinse aid setting at “1” and apply rinse
aid. When the rinse aid is used up, add more rinse aid to the
rinse aid dispenser.
• If you use combined detergents with a rinse aid setting higher
than 1, hand contact may leave rainbow-coloured water stains
on the washed items and inside the machine.
• If you use combined detergents without adding salt, lime scale
may form especially on glasses.
• To avoid lime scale formation: Put your appliance’s water
softener setting at “1” and add salt. When the salt is used up,
add more salt to the water softener.
Using two-in-one detergent: Detergent and softening salt.
These detergents do not contain rinse aid so you need to use the
rinse aid setting as described in the manual, making sure that
there is rinse aid in the rinse aid dispenser with every wash and
that you rell the rinse aid dispenser with rinse aid every time it is
empty.
Using two-in-one detergent and rinse aid.
These detergents will not give you the same drying performance
that you can obtain by using separate detergent, salt and rinse
aid. To increase the drying performance:
Detergent manufacturers also produce combined detergents
known as ‘two-in-one’ and ‘three-in-one’.
Two-in-one: These products contain detergent and either rinse
aid or water-softening salt.
Three-in-one: These products contain detergent, rinse aid and
water-softening salt.
In general, you will obtain satisfactory results from combined
detergents only under specic usage conditions. These
detergents contain predetermined amounts of rinse aid and/
or softening salt. This means that you cannot adjust the amount
of water-softening salt and rinse aid required to suit the water
hardness level in your home.
You should bear the following points in mind when using such
detergents:
• Be sure to check the specications of the product you are
using and whether it is a combined product or not.
• Follow the instructions on the packet when using these
products.
• The use of these products at the correct appliance settings
will ensure economical use of salt and/or rinse aid.
• If the detergent is in tablet form, never place these in the
internal section or cutlery basket of the dishwasher. Always
place the tablets in the detergent dispenser of the detergent
holder.
• Put your appliance’s rinse aid setting at “1” and apply rinse
aid. When the rinse aid is used up, add more rinse aid to the
rinse aid dispenser.
• If you use combined detergents with a rinse aid setting higher
than 1, hand contact may leave rainbow-coloured water stains
on the washed items and inside the machine.
• These detergents do not contain softening salt so you need to
use the softening setting as described in the manual, making
sure that there is salt in the water softener with every wash
and that you rell the water softener with salt every time it is
empty.
Important warning.
Should you encounter a problem that has previously never
occurred after you start using these detergents, contact the
detergent manufacturer directly. You will nd contact details on
the packet.
If you stop using this kind of detergent:
• Ensure that the salt and rinse aid dispensers are full.
• Put the water hardness setting at the highest level and run a
wash cycle with the appliance empty.
• After washing while empty, return the water hardness setting
to the correct level for your mains water hardness shown in
the manual.
• Put the rinse aid setting at the correct level.
