Adding
 detergent
Pour detergent into the dispenser 29
(insert tablet flat, not on its edge).  Dosage: see manufacturer s
instructions on the packaging.
Close the cover on the detergent dispenser by sliding it up until the lock engages without dif ficulty.
The detergent dispenser opens automatically at the optimum time depending on the programme. The powder or liquid detergentis distributed in the appliance and is dissolved, the tablet falls into the tablet collecting tray where it dissolves in doses.
Tip If the utensils are only lightly soiled, slightly less than the indicated amount of detergent is usually adequate.
Warnings
Do  not place small parts for washing
in the tablet collecting tray 
24 ; this
prevents the tablet from dissolving 
evenly.
If you want to add more utensils after the programme has started, do  not
use the tablet collecting tray 
24
as a handle for the upper basket. The tablet could already be there and you will touch the partially dissolvedtablet.
Note
f programmes are short, tablets may not have full cleaning ef fect due to different
dissolving properties and there mayeven be undissolved detergent residue. It is recommended to use washing powder for these programmes.
The Intensive programme (on some models) requires one tab only . When
using washing powder , you can apply
some of this cleaning agent to theinside of the appliance s door.
If using detergents in a water-soluble protective cover: T ake hold of the cover
with dry hands only and put the detergent into an absolutely dry detergent dispenser only , otherwise
the detergent may stick.
