ADDING THE DETERGENT To open the detergent dispenser cap, lightly press the button P. Add the detergent and close the cap carefully. During the washing cycle, the dispenser will be opened automatically. Use only detergents specially formulated for dishwashers. For optimal washing results it is important to use a good quality detergent. The detergent packs must be sealed and stored in a dry place to prevent the formation of lumps which may negatively affect washing results. Once opened the detergent packs should not be kept for too long, otherwise the detergent loses its effectiveness. Do not use detergents formulated for washing dishes by hand, because they produce a great deal of foam and may negatively affect the operation of the dishwasher. An insufficient amount of detergent will result in a partial removal of dirt from the dishes, whereas an excessive amount is wasteful and does not improve the washing results. 19 User instructions The market offers liquid and powder detergents with differing chemical compositions, which may contain phosphates, or be phosphate-free but contain natural enzymes. - Detergents containing phosphates are more effective against grease and starch at temperatures above 60C. - Enzyme detergents, on the other hand, are also effective at lower temperatures (from 40 to 55C) and are more easily biodegradable.
