Combined detergent
Besides conventional separate deter-
gents, a number of products are
available with additional functions.
These products contain not only de-
tergent but also rinse aid and salt re-
placement substances (3in1) and,
depending on the combination (4in1,
5in1, ...), additional components such
as glass protection or stainless steel
cleaner.
According to manufacturers, com-
bined detergents generally only func-
tion up to a water hardness of 26
°E. With a water hardness above 26
°E you will need to add special salt
and rinse aid. For the best washing
and drying results we recommend
using special salt and rinse aid from
a water hardness of 17 °E. If you are
using combined detergent, the wash-
ing programme is adjusted automat-
ically to ensure the best possible
washing and drying result.
Unsuitable detergents
Do not use detergent which could
cause damage to the appliance or
present a risk to health.

Information on detergents
Follow the instructions on detergents
in everyday use.
¡
Detergents marked as "organic" or
"ecological" (environmentally
friendly) generally contain lower
levels of active agents or com-
pletely dispense with certain sub-
stances. The cleaning effect may
be restricted here.
¡
Set the rinse aid and the water
softening system to the separate
detergent or combined detergent
in use.
¡
According to manufacturers, com-
bined detergents with salt replace-
ment substances can only be used
up to a certain water hardness,
usually 26 °E, without adding spe-
cial salt. For the best washing and
drying results we recommend us-
ing special salt from a water hard-
ness of 17 °E.
¡
To prevent sticking, only touch de-
tergents in a water-soluble pouch
with dry hands and only ever place
them in a dry detergent dispenser.
¡
Even if the rinse aid and special
salt refill indicators light up, wash-
ing programmes will run properly
with combined detergents.
¡
The function of rinse aid is limited
with combined detergents. You will
generally get better results using
rinse aid.
¡
Use tablets with a special drying
performance.
