  When a program with hot prewash is selected (see program table in the “De-
scription of Controls” manual), extra detergent must be placed in the cavity 
(ref. A or B fi g. 4-06, depending on models). 
Only use dishwasher-specifi c detergents. For optimal washing results it is 
important to use a good quality detergent. 
The detergent packs must be sealed and stored in a dry place to prevent 
the formation of lumps which may negatively affect washing results. Once 
opened the detergent packs should not be kept for too long, otherwise the 
detergent loses its effectiveness. 
Do not use detergents formulated for washing dishes by hand, because they 
produce a great deal of foam and may negatively affect the operation of the 
dishwasher. 
Add the correct amount of detergent. An insuffi cient amount of detergent 
will result in a partial removal of dirt from the dishes, whereas an excessive 
amount is wasteful and does not improve the washing results. 
The market offers liquid and powder detergents with differing chemical com-
positions, which may contain phosphates, or be phosphate-free but con-
tain natural enzymes
Detergents containing phosphates are more effective against grease and 
starch at temperatures above 60°C (140°F)
Enzyme detergents, on the other hand, are also effective at lower tempera-
tures (from 40 to 55°C / from 104 to 131°F) and are more easily biodegrad-
able. With enzyme detergents it is possible to obtain at low temperatures 
comparable results to those which can only be achieved at 65°C (149°F) 
using traditional detergents. For the safeguarding of the environment we 
recommend the use of phosphate- and chlorine-free detergents.
