OPERATION
Dishwasher detergents
EN 12
Setting the quantity of rinse agent
A fixed amount of rinse agent is added during the final rinse. As is the
case with detergent, the amount of rinse agent needed is dependent on
the hardness of the water in your area. Too much rinse agent can lead to
streaks on the dishes.
The rinse agent reservoir has 6 settings. To begin with, set the reservoir
to setting 2. If this still causes spotting on the dishes and the dishes do
not dry well, you can increase the amount of rinse agent added by
turning the selector knob on the reservoir to setting 3. If there is still no
improvement, turn the selector knob to a higher setting. Repeat this
action until the dishes are streak-free when they emerge from the
dishwasher.
The chemical agents in dishwasher detergents remove the dirt, break it
down and ensure that it is drained out of the dishwasher. The dishwasher
detergents you can buy in most shops are suitable for this purpose.
Warning!
Dishwasher detergent is a corrosive product. It should therefore
be kept out of the reach of children. If swallowed, consult a doctor
immediately and take the packaging with you.
Concentrated detergent
Based on their chemical composition, 2 different types of concentrated
detergent can be distinguished:
• Conventional alkaline detergents with corrosive ingredients.
• Low-alkaline concentrated detergents with natural enzymes.
Dishwasher tablets
Dishwasher tablets from different manufacturers dissolve at different
rates. This means that, during short wash cycles, certain types of
dishwasher tablet do not fully dissolve, as a result of which their
cleaning action is reduced. Dishwasher tablets should therefore chiefly
be used in combination with long wash cycles, so that the dish washer
tablet has time to fully dissolve.
