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 60°C. - Enzyme detergents, on the other hand, are also effective at lower temperatures (from 40 to 55°C) and are more easily biodegradable. With enzyme detergents it is possible to obtain at low temperatures comparable results to those which can only be achieved at 65°C using traditional detergents. For the safeguarding of the environment we recommend the use of phosphate- and chlorine free detergents. Also available are tablet detergents which state that that no salt or rinse aid is required.

If the problem persists for too long, contact the After-Sales Service. [. . . ] · At this point it is possible to load larger sized plates into the lower basket.
