Combination Detergent - Bosch SMS53E12TC Instruction Manual

Combination detergent

Apart from conventional detergents
(Solo), a number of products are
available with additional functions.
These products contain not only the
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, combination detergents
function only up to a specific degree of
hardness (usually 21° dH, 37° fH,
26° Clark, 3.7 mmol/l). Over this limit
salt and rinse-aid must be added. For
optimum cleaning and drying results, we
recommend using salt and rinse-aid
from a water hardness of 14° dH
(25° fH, 17° Clark, 2.5 mmol/l).
As soon as combined detergents
are used, the rinse programme
is adjusted automatically to ensure
the best possible rinsing and drying
result.
m
Warning – Do not place small parts
for washing in the tablet collecting tray
12; this prevents the tablet from
dissolving evenly.
m
Warning – If you want to add more
utensils after the programme
has started, do not use the tablet
collecting tray 12 as a handle
for the upper basket. The tablet could
already be there and you will touch
the partially dissolved tablet.
Notes
You will obtain optimum rinsing
■
and drying results by using solo
detergents and applying salt
and rinse aid separately.
If programmes are short, tablets
■
may not have full cleaning effect
due to different dissolving properties
and there may even be undissolved
detergent residue. It is
recommended to use washing
powder for these programmes.
The Intensive programme (on some
■
models) requires one tab only. When
using washing powder, you can
apply some of this cleaning agent
to the inside of the appliance's door.
Even if the rinse-aid and/or salt refill
■
indicator is lit, the rinse programme
will run correctly with combined
detergents.
If using detergents in a water-soluble
■
protective cover: Take hold of the
cover with dry hands only and put
the detergent into an absolutely
dry detergent dispenser only,
otherwise the detergent may stick.
If you switch from combined
■
detergents to solo detergents,
ensure that the water softening
system and amount of rinse aid have
been set to the correct value.
