. 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....

(see back page).
