Multi-component (multitab) detergents (eg. 2-in-1, 3-in-1, etc.)
There are three types of detergents:
6
1. Containing phosphates and chlorine,
2. Containing phosphates and no chlorine,
3. Containing no phosphates and no chlorine.
The latest tablets are generally phosphate-free. Since phosphates have water softening
properties, we recommend adding salt to the container even if the water hardness is only
6°dH. If you use phosphate-free detergent where water is hard, white residue may be
visible on the dishes.
You can prevent this by increasing the amount of detergent. Chlorine-free detergents
have less bleaching effect. Stains may not be entirely removed. Select the programme
with a higher wash temperature.
Generally, using multi-component detergents suitable results are obtained only under
certain conditions. Such detergents contain rinse aid and/or special salt in a specific
amount. It is recommended to use special salt when using multi-component tablets.
What you should pay attention to when using these tablets.
7
Always check the type of detergent used and whether it is a multi-component product.
Make sure that the detergent used is appropriate for tap water hardness.
Follow the instructions on the product packaging.
If the detergent is in the form of tablets, never place it the cutlery basket. Always place
the tablet in the detergent dispenser compartment.
The use of these detergents yields good results only in certain applications. Using this
type of detergent you should contact the manufacturer for information about proper
use.
If you use the detergent properly and dishwasher settings are correct you can save on
salt and/or rinse aid.
If dishwashing results while using 2-in-1 or 3-in-1 detergents are not satisfactory (tra-
ces of lime scale on the dishes), please contact the detergent manufacturer.
The warranty does not cover complaints due to the use of multi-component deter-
gents.
Recommended use: For best results using multi-component cleaning agents, add special
salt and rinse aid in the dishwasher and set the water hardness and amount of rinse aid to
the lowest setting.
The solubility of the detergent tablets made by different manufacturers can vary with regard
to temperature and time. It is therefore not recommended to use detergent tablets in quick
programmes. It is recommended to use powder detergents in quick programmes.
Always store detergents in a dry, cool place, out of reach of children. Add detergent to the
dispenser immediately before using the appliance.
Warning: If encounter another problem when using a multi-component detergent, please
contact the detergent manufacturer.
