D. Detergent function
Detergents with their chemical components are necessary to remove dirt, break it up and take it outside
the dishwasher. Most commercial detergents are suitable for this purpose.
Concentrated detergent
According to their chemical composition, dishwasher detergents can be divided into two basic types:
• conventional alkaline detergents with caustic substances
• concentrated low alkaline detergents with natural enzymes
The use of "normal" wash programs in conjunction with concentrated detergents reduces pollution and is
ideal for dishes; these wash programs are specially designed for the dirt dissolving properties of the
enzymes in the concentrated detergent. For this reason "normal" wash programs, in which concentrated
detergents are used, can give the same results otherwise obtainable only with "intensive" programs.
Detergent tablets
Detergent tablets by the different brands dissolve at different speeds. For this reason some detergent
tablets are unable to dissolve and develop their full cleaning power during short programs. Therefore, use
long programs when using detergent tablets, to ensure the complete removal of detergent residuals.
Detergent dispenser
The dispenser must be filled before the start of each wash cycle, according to the instructions in the table
of wash cycles. This appliance uses less detergent and rinse aid than conventional washing machines.
Generally, only one tablespoon of detergent is sufficient for a normal wash load. If the dishes are very
dirty, a larger amount of detergent will be necessary. Always add the detergent just before starting the
dishwasher, otherwise it could become damp and not dissolve properly.
