Use powder or liquid/gel 
detergent in short programmes 
without prewash since the 
solubility of the tablet detergent 
changes depending on the 
temperature and time.
Tablet detergents
In addition to the conventional tablet 
detergents, there are also commercially 
available detergent tablets that show water 
softening salt and/or rinse aid effect.  Some 
types of these detergents contain special-
purpose components such as glass and 
stainless steel protectors.  These tablets 
show their effects up to a certain water 
hardness level (21°dH).  Water softening 
salt and rinse aid must also be used 
together with the detergent if the water 
hardness level is above the mentioned level.
C
The best washing performance 
in dishwashers is obtained by 
using detergent, rinse aid and 
water softening salt individually. 
C
Observe the instructions of the 
detergent manufacturer on 
the package when using tablet 
detergents. 
C
Contact the detergent 
manufacturer if your dishes 
are wet and/or if you notice 
limescale spots particularly on 
your glasses after the washing 
programme is over when using 
a tablet detergent.
When you switch to powder 
detergent from tablet detergent:
1.  Make sure that salt and rinse aid 
reservoirs are full.
2.  Set the water hardness to the highest 
level and perform an empty run.
3.  After the empty washing cycle, review 
the user manual and readjust the water 
hardness level so as to suit the water 
supply.
4.  Make the appropriate rinse aid settings.
