Most recent powdered dishwasher detergents usually do not contain any phosphate
so they do not soften the water. In such a case add a water softener(= dishwasher
salt) even if the hardness of water is e.g. 6dH. Otherwise white spots may occur on
your dishes and glasses.
Dishwasher detergents without chlorine only bleach slightly, so they do not remove
tough stains. In such a case select a programme with a higher temperature.
Dishwasher tabs of different manufacturers may need different periods of time for
washing your dishes. So some kinds of tabs cannot be used when operating a short
programme. Always select long lasting programmes to clean your dishes
completely.
• You must fill the container matching the information of the programme
schedule.
• Use detergents which are suitable for dishwashers only.
• Always keep your detergent dry.
• Fill the container just before starting a programme.
• The detergent and rinse aid consumption of your appliance is lower than the
consumption of conventional appliances. In general you need 1 tablespoon of
detergent for a normal programme.
• You must increase the amount of detergent if your dishes are heavily soiled.
