Heavily soiled utensils (pans) should  
be placed in the bottom basket. The  
more powerful spray jet provides  
a better dishwashing result.

. DetergentDetergent
You can use tablets as well as powder  
or liquid detergents for dishwashers, but  
never use washing up liquid.  
The dosage can be individually adjusted  
with powder or a liquid detergent  
according to the degree of soiling.  
Tablets contain an adequately large  
amount of active ingredients  
for all cleaning tasks. Modern, powerful  
detergents predominantly use a low- 
alkaline formulation with phosphate  
and enzymes. Phosphates bond  
the lime in the water....

slightly less than the indicated amount  
of detergent is usually adequate.  
Suitable detergents and care products  
can be purchased online

(see back page).
