With enzyme detergents it is possible to obtain at low temperatures comparable results to those which can only be achieved at 65C using traditional detergents.

However, please note that on return to the use of conventional salt, a number of cycles will be required before the system becomes fully efficient again, so traces of white coating may still be found on the tank and dishes. If the problem persists for too long, contact the After-Sales Service. When using detergent in tablet form (bear in mind that we recommend the use of three separate products: detergent, salt and rinse aid), place the tablets in the cutlery rack. The dispenser is designed to use powder or liquid detergent and the door does not open completely during the washing cycle. This means that a tablet is not completely dissolved (released), which may lead to the following: - not enough detergent released during the cycle, with poor washing results; - the detergent forms a solid block in the distributor and is released during the final rinse cycle. The introduction of detergent into the rinse aid dispenser, even in liquid form, will damage the dishwasher. 21 User instructions 4. 1 General warnings and recommendations Before using the dishwasher for the first time, it is advisable to read the following recommendations concerning dish types to be washed and their loading.
