Use of detergent
Only use detergents specifically designed for use in dishwashers.
If using powder detergents proceed as follows:
1. Open the dispenser lid by pulling the catch (D). 2. Add the detergent according to the recommended quantity given in the "Washing programmes" chart. As all detergents are not the same, you should also consult the instructions on the packet. 3. Always close the lid. 4. If the programme has a prewash add the required detergent over the lid of the dispenser. Follow the recommended quantity of detergent given in the "Washing programmes" chart.

If using detergent in tablets proceed as follows:
1. For all programmes; place 1 tablet inside the detergent dispenser. 2. Always close the lid. 3. For all programmes with prewash; place a portion of a further tablet on the lid of the detergent dispenser. Insufficient quantities of detergent will produce poor washing results, whereas an excessive amount of detergent will not improve washing results and is also wasteful. Using no more than the correct amount also contributes to reducing pollution. Attention! Check that the detergent receptacle is empty after completion of the wash cycle.
Compact detergents with enzymes
In these compact powders the environmently unfriendly components have been replaced by natural enzymes and other more biodegradable substances. The enzymes deploy their full dirt dissolving power at a temperature as low as 50°C. By choosing the "Bio" programmes you can therefore achieve the same cleaning results that would otherwise be achievable only with 65°C programmes and conventional detergents.
