With powder and liquid detergent the dosage can be indi-
vidually 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 18 and "Rinse aid" → Page 18.
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 the manufacturers, combined detergents gen-
erally only function up to a 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 re-
commend using special salt and rinse aid from a water hard-
ness 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 ap-
pliance or present a risk to health.
Hand washing-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" (environ-
mentally 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 the 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-sol-
uble 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 deter-
gents. You will generally get better results using a separ-
ate rinse aid.
Use tablets with a special drying performance.

Adding detergent

To open the detergent dispenser, press the locking latch.
1.
Add the detergent to the dry detergent dispenser.
2.
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.
Close the lid of the detergent dispenser.
3.
The lid clicks into position.
a
The detergent dispenser will open automatically at the
a
optimum time during the programme. Powder or liquid
detergent will spread around the washing tank and dis-
solve there. Tablets will fall into the tablet collecting tray
and dissolve in the right dosage. In order to ensure that
tablets can dissolve evenly, do not place any other objects
in the tablet collecting tray.
Tip: If you use powder detergent and select a program with
pre-rinse, you can also add a little detergent to the interior
door of the appliance.
