If the utensils are only lightly

Tip:

soiled, slightly less than the indicated

amount of detergent is usually

adequate.

Suitable detergents and care products

can be purchased online via our

website or via customer service (see

back page).

Combination detergent

Apart from conventional detergents

(Solo), a number of products are offered

with additional functions. These

products contain not only the detergent

but also rinse-aid and salt replacement

substances (3in1) and, depending on

the combination (4in1, 5in1, ...),

additional components such as glass

protection or stainless steel cleaner.

Combination detergents function only

up to a specific degree of hardness

(usually 21°dH). Over this limit salt and

rinse-aid must be added.

As soon as combined detergents are

used, the rinse programme is adjusted

automatically to ensure the best

possible rinsing and drying result.

Notes

If you want to add more utensils after

■

the programme has started, do not

use the tablet collecting tray 1B as

a handle for the upper basket. The

tablet could already be there and

you will touch the partially dissolved

tablet.

Do not place small parts for washing

■

in the tablet collecting tray 1B; this

prevents the tablet from dissolving

evenly.

You will obtain optimum rinsing and

■

drying results by using solo

detergents and applying salt

and rinse aid separately.

If programmes are short, tablets may

■

not have full cleaning effect due to

different dissolving properties and

there may even be undissolved

detergent residue. It is

recommended to use washing

powder for these programmes.

The dosing of a tablet is adequate

■

for the "Intensive" programme (for

some models). When using washing

powder, you can apply some of this

cleaning agent to the inside of the

appliance's door.

Even if the rinse-aid and/or salt refill

■

indicator is lit, the rinse programme

will run correctly with combined

detergents.

If using detergents in a water-soluble

■

protective cover: Take hold of the

cover with dry hands only and put

the detergent into an absolutely dry

detergent dispenser only, otherwise

the detergent may stick.

If you switch from combined

■

detergents to solo detergents,

ensure that the water softening

system and amount of rinse aid have

been set to the correct value.

Biological/eco detergents: Detergent

■

products identified as "Bio" or "Eco"

(to protect the environment) usually

use lower quantities of active agents

or completely dispense with certain

substances. The cleaning effect of

such products may occasionally be

restricted.
