[. . . ] When the top basket is in the higher position it will only take plates up to 20 cm in diameter and you will not be able to use the raised cup racks. After loading your machine always close the door, as an open door can be a hazard. 17 Use of detergent Attention!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). As all detergents are not the same, please pay attention to the dosage instructions from the manufacturer of your brand. If the programme has a prewash add the required detergent over the lid of the dispenser. DE17 Min = 15 g Max = 30 g D If using detergent in tablets proceed as follows: 1. For all programmes; place 1 tablet inside the detergent dispenser. For all programmes with prewash; place a portion of a further tablet on the lid of the detergent dispenser. At the end of any washing programme the lid is always open, ready for the next wash. Since not all detergents are the same, you should also consult the instructions on the packet. DE02 18 M M IN AX Remember that insufficient quantities of detergent will produce poor washing results whereas an excessive amount of detergent does not improve washing results and is also wasteful. Using no more than the correct amount of detergent also contributes to reducing pollution. BIO programmes and compact powders On the basis of their chemical composition, dishwasher detergents can be classified into two groups: - conventional, alkaline detergents with caustic components: - low-alkaline compact powders with natural enzymes. The enzymes in low-alkaline compact powders have a dirt-dissolving effect and are also biodegradable. These enzymes deploy their full dirt-dissolving power within a temperature range of 40-50°C. In BIO washing programmes, the temperature range and duration of the heating phases are precisely matched to the dirt-dissolving properties of the enzymes. In combination with low-alkaline compact powders, BIO washing programmes, at a temperature as low as 50°C, therefore achieve the same cleaning results that would otherwise be achievable only with 65°C programmes. The lack of any caustic components in low-alkaline compact powders and the lower cleaning temperature of BIO washing programmes are not only environmentally friendly, but also care for your crockery. 19 Washing programmes Programmes Type of soil Type of load ECONOMY Light soil.
