Tip:
Suitable detergents are available
online via our website or from "Cus-
tomer Service" →
Separate detergents
Separate detergents are products
that do not contain components other
than detergent, e.g. powder deter-
gent or liquid detergent.
With powder and liquid detergent the
dosage can be individually adjusted
to the level of soiling of the table-
ware.
For better washing and drying results
and to avoid damage to the appli-
ance, please additionally use "Spe-
cial salt" →
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 wa-
ter hardness of 17 °E. If you are us-
ing combined detergent, the washing
programme is adjusted automatically
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.
