Phosphate-free and chlorine-free detergents containing enzymes • We strongly recommend that you use detergents that do not contain phosphates or chlorine, as these products are harmful to the environment. • Enzymes provide a particularly effective action at temperatures around 50°C. As a result detergents containing enzymes can be used in conjunction with low-temperature wash cycles in order to achieve the same results as a normal 65°C wash cycle.

Arrange the crockery so that it is held in place firmly and does not tip over; and arrange the containers with the openings facing downwards and the concave/convex parts placed obliquely, thus allowing the water to reach every surface and flow freely.
EN Adjustable position tip-up compartments Unsuitable crockery The tip-up compartments can be positioned at different heights, to optimise the arrangement of crockery throughout the rack. Wine glasses can be placed safely in the tip-up compartments, by inserting the stem of each glass into the corresponding slots. • Wooden crockery and cutlery. • Delicate decorated glasses, artistic handicraft and antique crockery. Their decorations are not resistant.
