Good washing results also depend on the correct dose of 
detergent: adding too much detergent will not necessa-
rily result in a more efficient wash, and may in fact cause 
build up on the inside of your appliance and contribute to 
environmental pollution.
! Do not use hand washing detergents because these 
create too much foam. Open the detergent dispen-
ser drawer and pour in the 
detergent or washing additive, 
as follows.
