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

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.
