Detergent

agents are generally used to re-

move colored stains, e.g. tea or

ketchup.
Note: Follow the manufacturer's

instructions for each detergent.

Detergent Description
Tabs

Tabs are perfect for

all cleaning functions

and do not need to

be measured out.

However, with

shorter Cycles

→

Page 15

some-

times tabs do not

dissolve entirely and

leave residues of de-

tergent. This may re-

duce its effective-

ness.

Powder

detergent

Powder detergent is

recommended for

shorter cycles. The

dosage can be ad-

justed to the level of

soiling.

Liquid de-

tergent

Liquid detergent

works faster and is

recommended for

shorter cycles with-

out a pre-rinse.

Sometimes liquid

detergent may leak

out despite the de-

tergent dispenser

being closed. This is

not a problem, just

remember the fol-

lowing:

Only choose a cy-

cle without Pre-

Rinse.

Do not use the

Delay Start op-

tion.

The dosage can be

adjusted to the level

of soiling.

11.2 Incompatible

detergents

Do not use a detergent which is

not designated for dishwasher use

or contains chlorine.

Detergent

Description

Liquid hand

soap

Liquid hand

soap can cause

increased froth-

ing and dam-

age the appli-

ance.

Detergent con-

taining chlorine

This may leave

chlorine

residue on

dishware.

11.3 Information on

Detergent

Follow the instructions on deter-

gents in everyday use.

Detergents marked as "ecologi-

cal" (environmentally friendly)

generally contain lower levels

of active agents or none at all.

The cleaning effect may be re-

duced.

Adjust the rinse aid and the wa-

ter softening system settings in

accordance with the detergent

or combination detergent in

use.

According to manufacturers,

combination detergents with

salt replacement substances

can only be used up to a cer-

tain water hardness, usually 26

°E, without adding special salt.

For the best washing and dry-

ing results we recommend us-

ing special salt from a water

hardness of 17 °E.

Any rinse aid component of a

combination detergent has lim-

ited effectiveness. You will

have better results using a sep-

arate rinse aid.
