Tip
If the utensils are only lightly 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, etc.),
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.
m Warning – Do not place small parts
for washing in the tablet collecting tray
12; this prevents the tablet from
dissolving evenly.
m Warning – If you want to add more
utensils after the programme
has started, do not use the tablet
collecting tray 12 as a handle
for the upper basket. The tablet could
already be there and you will touch
the partially dissolved tablet.
Notes
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 Intensive programme (on some
models) requires one tab only. 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.
