Adding The Detergent; General Warnings And Recommendations - SCHOLTES LTE S3 XL60HZ Instrucciones De Uso

•
Replace the cover (ref. A fig. 4-02) by turning it in a
clockwise direction until it is fully closed.
•
The amount of rinse aid must be increased if the
washed dishes appear dull or feature circular stains.
•
If, on the other hand, the dishes are sticky or have white
streaks, it is necessary to reduce the rinse aid setting.

4.1.3 Adding the detergent

Do not inhale or swallow detergent as this may cause
burns and/or permanent damage to the nose, mouth and
throat, and even leading to suffocation; keep detergent
away from your eyes. If one of the above situations
occurs, seek medical assistance immediately.
Prevent children from coming into contact with
detergent; keep them away from the dishwasher when
the door is open as it may contain detergent residues.
Fill the dishwasher just before starting the washing cycle
and then keep the detergent out of the reach of children.
To open the detergent dispenser cover, lightly press the
relative button (ref. A fig. 4-03). Add the detergent and
close the cover carefully, pushing down on the arrow (ref.
B fig. 4-03). During the washing cycle, the dispenser will
be opened automatically.

•
When a program with hot prewash is selected (see
program table in the "Description of Controls" manual),
extra detergent must be placed in the cavity (ref. A or
B fig. 4-04, depending on models).
•
Only use dishwasher-specific 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 insufficient
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 compositions, which may contain
phosphates, or be phosphate-free but contain
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 temperatures (from 40 to 55°C /
from 104 to 131°F) and are more easily
biodegradable. 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.
•
When using detergent tabs, place them in the cutlery
basket. The dispenser has been designed for powder or
liquid detergent. As the cover does not open completely
during the washing cycle, tabs are not fully released
(dissolved). This could generate the following problems:
- insufficient detergent released during the cycle and
poor washing results;
- the detergent is compacted in the dispenser 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.
