Modern, powerful detergents mainly use a low-alkaline formulation with enzymes. Enzymes break down starch and remove protein. Oxygen- based bleaching agents are generally

used to remove coloured marks, e.g. tea or ketchup.

Note: Follow the manufacturer’s instructions for each detergent

Detergent

DETERGENT DESCRIPTION

Liquid

detergent

Liquid detergent works faster and is recommended for shorter Programmes without PreRinse. Sometimes liquid detergent may leak out despite the detergent

dispenser being closed. This is not a fault and is non-critical if you remember the following:

Only choose a programme without PreRinse.

Do not select timer programming for starting the programme.

The dosage can be adjusted to the level of soiling.

DETERGENT DESCRIPTION

Tabs

Tabs are suitable for all cleaning functions and do not need to be measured out. With shorter Programmes tabs sometimes do not dissolve entirely and leave residues

of detergent. This may impair the cleaning effect.

Powder

detergent

Powder detergent is recommended for shorter Programmes. The dosage can be adjusted to the level of soiling.

Separate detergents

Separate detergents are products that do not contain components other than detergent, e.g. powder detergent or liquid detergent. With powder and liquid detergent, the dosage can

be individually adjusted to the level of soiling of the tableware. For better washing and drying results and to avoid damage to the appliance, please additionally use “Special salt”

→ Page 29 and “Rinse aid”

→ Page 31.

Combined detergent

Besides conventional separate detergents, a number of products are available with additional functions. These products contain not only 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. According to

manufacturers, combined detergents generally only function up to water hardness of 26 °E. With a water hardness above 26 °E, you will need to add special salt and rinse aid. For

the best washing and drying results, we recommend using special salt and rinse aid from a water hardness of 17 °E. If you are using combined detergent, the washing programme is

adjusted automatically to ensure the best possible washing and drying result.

Unsuitable detergents

Do not use detergent which could cause damage to the appliance or present a risk to health

DETERGENT DESCRIPTION

Hand wash-

ing-up liquid

Hand washing-up liquid can cause increased frothing and damage the appliance.

Detergent containing chlorine Chlorine residue on tableware may present a risk to health.

Information on detergents

Follow the instructions on detergents in everyday use.

Detergents marked as “organic” or “ecological” (environmentally friendly) generally contain lower levels of active agents or completely dispense with certain substances. The

cleaning effect may be restricted here.

Set the rinse aid and the water softening system to the separate detergent or combined detergent in use.

According to manufacturers, combined detergents with salt replacement substances can only be used up to a certain water hardness, usually 26 °E, without adding special salt.

For the best washing and drying results we recommend using special salt from a water hardness of 17 °E.

To prevent sticking, only touch detergents in a water-soluble pouch with dry hands and only ever place them in a dry detergent dispenser.

Even if the rinse aid and special salt refill indicators light up, washing programmes will run properly with combined detergents.

The function of rinse aid is limited with combined detergents. You will generally get better results using rinse aid.

Use tablets with a special drying performance.

Adding detergent

1. To open the detergent dispenser, press the locking latch.

2. Add the detergent to the dry detergent dispenser.

If you are using tablets, one is enough. Insert the tablets in a horizontal position.

If you are using powder or liquid detergent, follow the manufacturer’s instructions and quantities for dosage in the detergent dispenser. 20 ml – 25 ml detergent is suﬃcient for normal

soiling. If tableware is only lightly soiled, slightly less than the amount of detergent specified is usually sufficient.
