For better washing and drying results
and to avoid damage to the appliance,
please additionally use Special salt

Combined detergent
Besides conventional separate deter-
gents, a number of products are avail-
able 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, ...), addi-
tional components such as glass pro-
tection or stainless steel cleaner.
According to manufacturers, combined
detergents generally only function up to
a water hardness of 26°°E. With a wa-
ter 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 deter-
gent, the washing programme is adjus-
ted automatically to ensure the best
possible washing and drying result.

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 de-
tergent or combined detergent in
use.
¡ According to manufacturers, com-
bined detergents with salt replace-
ment substances can only be used
up to a certain water hardness, usu-
ally 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 deter-
gents 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 pro-
grammes will run properly with com-
bined 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 per-
formance.
