You will obtain the best results from your
dishwasher if you use a 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 that you use 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.
- If the detergent is in tablet form, never place
these in the internal section or cutlery basket
of the dishwasher. Always place the tablets
in the detergent dispenser of the detergent
holder.
- These detergents will not give you the same
drying performance that you can obtain by
using separate detergent, salt and rinse aid.
To increase the drying performance:
Put your appliance's rinse aid setting at "1"
and apply rinse aid. When the rinse aid is
used up, add more rinse aid to the rinse aid
dispenser.
- If you use combined detergents with a rinse
aid setting higher than 1, contact with the
hands 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:
Put your appliance's water softener setting at "1"
and add salt. When the salt is used up, add more
salt to the water softener.
- These detergents do not contain rinse aid so you
need to use the rinse aid setting as described in
the manual, making sure that there is rinse aid in
the rinse aid dispenser with every wash and that
you refill the rinse aid dispenser with rinse aid
every time it is empty.
- These detergents will not give you the same drying
performance that you can obtain by using separate
detergent, salt and rinse aid. To increase the drying
performance:
Put your appliance's rinse aid setting at "1" and
apply rinse aid. When the rinse aid is used up,
add more rinse aid to the rinse aid dispenser.
- If you use combined detergents with a rinse aid
setting higher than 1, contact with the hands may
leave rainbow-coloured water stains on the washed
items and inside the machine.
- These detergents do not contain softening salt so
you need to use the softening setting as described
in the manual, making sure that there is water-
softening salt in the water softener with every
wash and that you refill the water softener with
salt every time it is empty.
- Should you encounter a problem that has
previously never occured after you start using
these detergents, contact the detergent
manufacturer directly. You will find contact details
on the packet.
- Ensure that the salt and rinse aid dispensers are
full.
- Put the water hardness setting at the
highest
level
and run a wash cycle with the appliance
empty.
- After washing while empty,
return
the water
hardness setting to the correct level for your mains
water hardness shown in the manual.
- Put the rinse aid setting at the correct level.
