Operation
Detergent type
There are 3 sorts of detergents:
1. Detergents with phosphate and with chlorine.
2. Detergents with phosphate and without chlorine.
3. Detergents without phosphate and without chloride.
• Normally new pulverized detergent is without phosphate. The water softener function of phosphate
is not given. In this case we recommend to ll salt in the salt container even when the hardness of
water is only 6 dH.
• If detergents without phosphate were used in case of hard water, white spots will appear at the
dishes and glasses. In this case add more detergent to reach better results.
• Detergents without chlorine do only bleach a little. Strong and colored spots will not be removed
completely. In this case choose a program with higher temperature.
DISHWARE MATERIALS
Note: Before using your dishwasher, check the information in this section. Some items are not dishwasher
safe and should be hand washed; others require special loading.
Recommended

aluminum to darken or spot. This can usually be removed with a soap-lled steel wool pad.
• China, Crystal, Stoneware: Some hand-painted utensils may discolor, fade or spot. Hand wash these
utensils. Position fragile glassware so that it will not fall over or come in contact with other utensils
during the wash cycle.

• Non-stick Coatings: Apply a light coating of vegetable oil to non-stick surfaces after drying.
