Use at least 30 ml of detergent for a full load in the following programmes: ­ Normal programme, ­ Universal programme, ­ Universal plus programme, ­ Economy 45º C programme. If the manufacturer recommends a larger amount of detergent, use the amount recommended. Please note Failure to dispense the recommended amount of detergent may impair cleaning results. There are currently three types of detergent on the market: 1. Type 3 detergents are more environmentally friendly, however: Phosphate-free detergent reacts more sensitively to water hardness than detergent containing phosphates. The following problems may occur: ­ Increased etching in the form of a bluish sheen on the surface of glassware ­ Discolouration of silverware ­ Colours painted over a glaze may fade. Appearances of this nature are generally caused by the detergent used and are not attributable to any malfunctioning of the dishwasher itself. Preventative measures: ­ Try out a phosphate-free detergent from another manufacturer. ­ Change to a detergent containing phosphates (type 2), or, if available, to a detergent containing both phosphates and chlorine (type 1). ­ Programme the water hardness selector one setting higher than recommended for your supply hardness (see chart in "Before using for the first time"). Softer water is then provided. 30 Operating the dishwasher The bleaching effect of chlorine-free detergents is lower than that of detergents containing chlorine. This may result in increased tea stains or discolouration on plastic items. Appearances of this nature are generally caused by the detergent used and are not attributable to any malfunctioning of the dishwasher itself. Preventative measures: ­ Increase the amount of detergent used for a greater bleaching effect. ­ If available, change to a detergent containing chlorine (type 1). Should you experience difficulties when using these types of products, please contact the detergent manufacturer's advisory service. They can cause burning in the mouth and throat if swallowed, or inhibit breathing. Consult a doctor immediately if detergent has been swallowed or inhaled. Keep children away from detergents and from the dishwasher when the door is open. To avoid the danger of children coming into contact with the dishwasher detergent only add detergent just before starting the programme and close the door, activating the child safety lock. To achieve optimum results distribute the required amount of detergent, depending on the type of detergent and the programme selected, proportionally between compartments I and II of the dispenser. It is essential to follow the instructions given in the programme chart at the end of the operating instructions. 31 Operating the dishwasher For information Compartment I holds max.

Turn the drain pump impeller by hand to check that there are no more obstructions. [. . . ]
