Use of "3 in 1"/ Combi Detergent
Tablets
General Advice
These products are tablets with combined detergent/
rinse-aid and salt functions.
1. Before using these products you should first check
that the water hardness in your supply is compati-
ble with the use of these products as per the
detergent manufacturers instructions (on the prod-
uct packaging).
2. These products should be strictly used according
to the detergent manufacturers instructions.
1
Do not place the tablets in the tub or the
cutlery basket as this will result in poorer
wash results. The tablets should be pla-
ced in the detergent dispenser.
3. If you encounter problems when using "3 in1"
products for the first time then please contact the
detergent manufacturers care line (the telephone
number is given on the product packaging).
Special Advice
When using combination products, the rinse-aid and
salt lights are no longer useful. It may be helpful
therefore to switch the rinse aid off - please note that
only some dishwashers have this facility - and select-
ing the lowest possible setting for water hardness.
For more information please refer to your instruction
manual.
If you decide to switch to the use of a standard deter-
gent system we advise that you:
• Refill both the salt and rinse aid compartments.
• Switch the waterhardness setting to the highest
possible position and run for three normal cycles
without a load.
• Readjust the waterhardness setting again accord-
ing to the conditions for your region (as per the
instruction manual).
Concentrated Detergent
Based on their chemical composition, dishwasher
detergents can be split into two basic types:
– conventional, alkaline detergents with caus-
tic components.
– low alkaline concentrated detergents with
natural enzymes.

The use of 50 °C wash programmes in con-
junction with concentrated detergents
reduces pollution and is good for your
dishes; these wash programmes are spe-
cially matched to the dirt-dissolving proper-
ties of the enzymes in the concentrated
detergent. For this reason 50 °C wash pro-
grammes in which concentrated detergents
are used can achieve the same results that
can otherwise only be achieved using 65 °C
programmes.
Detergent Tablets
3
Detergent tablets of different makes dis-
solve at different speeds. For this reason
some detergent tablets cannot develop their
full cleaning power during short pro-
grammes. Therefore please use wash pro-
grammes with pre wash when using
detergent tablets.
