Warning!
Two-in-one and three-in-one
detergents
You will obtain the best results from
your dishwasher if you use separate
detergent, rinse aid and water-
softening salt.
Detergent manufacturers also
produce combined detergents known
as 'two-in-one' and 'three-in-one'.
Three-in-one: These products contain
detergent, rinse aid and water-
softening salt.
Two-in-one: These products contain
detergent and either rinse aid or
water-softening salt.
In general, you will obtain satisfactory
results from combined detergents
only under specific usage conditions.
These detergents contain
predetermined amounts of rinse aid
and/or softening salt. This means
that you cannot adjust the amount
of water-softening salt and rinse aid
required to suit the water hardness
level in your home.
You should bear the following points
in mind when using such detergents:
•
Be sure to check the
specifications of the product
you are using and whether it is a
combined product or not.
•
Follow the instructions on
the packet when using these
products.
•
The use of these products at the
correct appliance settings will
ensure economical use of salt
and/or rinse aid.

section or cutlery basket of
the dishwasher. Always place

setting at "1" and apply rinse aid.
When the rinse aid is used up,

dispenser.
•
If you use combined detergents
with a rinse aid setting higher
than 1, hand contact may leave
rainbow-coloured water stains on
the washed items and inside the
machine.
•
If you use combined detergents
without adding salt, lime scale
may form especially on glasses.
To avoid lime scale formation:
