Setting dial (rinse)
The rinsing aid compartment has six diff erent settings. Its factory level setting is 3. If stains form on the dishes
or if there is a problem with drying the dishes, increase the released amount of the rinsing aid by removing
the lid and turning the dial to "4". If despite this step the dishes are not without stains after drying, adjust
the setting again to a higher level until the dishes are clean after drying. If rinsing aid residues remain on the
dishes, reduce the level to 1 – 2. The recommended setting is "3". (The value set by the manufacturer is "3".)
NOTE:
If there are water drops or scale stains on the dishes after the wash, increase the dosage. If there are
white stains or bluish layers on glasses or knife blades, lower the dosage.
Function of the detergent
Dishwashing detergents with their chemical additives are essential for the removal of soils, their decomposition
and removal from the dishwasher. For this purpose the majority of commercial quality dishwashing detergents
are suitable.
Dishwashing detergents
There are 3 types of dishwashing detergents:
1. containing phosphates and chlorine;
2. containing phosphates and without chlorine;
3. without phosphates and without chlorine.
New dishwashing detergents usually do not contain phosphates and so the softening function of the
phosphates is missing. In such a case we recommended the use of a softening salt even when the water
hardness is a mere 6°dH. If you use dishwashing detergents without phosphates and have hard water, this
leads to the frequent appearance of white stains on dishes and glasses. In such a case you will therefore
achieve better results if you add more dishwashing detergent. Chlorine-free dishwashing detergents whiten
only slightly. For this reason strong and colourful stains will not be completely removed. In such a case select
a program with a higher temperature.
Concentrated dishwashing detergents
Based on their chemical composition dishwashing detergents are divided into two basic types:
standard, alkaline dishwashing detergents with caustic additives;
less alkaline dishwashing detergents with natural enzymes.
Using "standard" washing programs in combination with concentrated dishwashing detergents reduces pollution
and is appropriate for your dishes. These programs are specifi cally improved with enzymes, which are
contained in concentrated dishwashing detergents, that can dissolve soils. For this reason you can achieve the
same results with concentrated dishwashing detergents using a "standard" washing program, as you would
achieve only with the use of an "intensive" program.
