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.
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.
Using three-in-one detergent,

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, 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:
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.
Using two-in-one detergent:

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.
