Combined detergent

Detergent manufacturers also produce combined detergents called "2 in 1", "3 in 1"
or "5 in 1" etc. "2 in 1" detergents contain detergent + salt or rinse aid. When using
"2 in 1" detergents make sure to check the specifications of the tablet. Other tablet
detergents contain detergent + rinse aid + salt + extra functions.Generally, combined
detergents produce sufficient results under certain usage conditions only. Such deter-
gents contain rinse aid and/or salt in preset amounts.
Points to consider when using this type of products:
• Always make sure to check the specifications of the product you will use or whether
or not it is a combined product.
• Check if the detergent used is appropriate for the hardness of mains water that ma-
chine is appertaining to.
• Observe the instructions on packagings when using such products.
• If such detergents are in the form of tablets, never put them into the interior section
or the cutlery basket of the dishwasher. Always put the tablets into the detergent com-
partment in the detergent dispenser.
• They produce good results for certain types of usage only. If you are using this type
of detergents, you need to contact the manufacturers and find out about the suitable
conditions of use.
• When the conditions of use of such products and the machine settings are appropria-
te, they ensure savings in salt and/or rinse aid consumption.
• Contact the detergent manufacturers if you are not obtaining good wash results (if
your dishes stay calcareous and wet) after having used 2 in 1 or 3 in 1 detergents. The
