Detergent

Description

Detergent con-
taining chlorine

Chlorine residue on table-
ware may 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.

Adding detergent

1.

To open the detergent dispenser,
press the locking latch.

2.

Add the detergent to the dry deter-
gent dispenser.

15 ml

25 ml

50 ml

If you are using tablets, one is
enough. Insert the tablets in a hori-
zontal position.
If you are using powder or liquid
detergent, follow the manufac-
turer's instructions and quantities
for dosage in the detergent dis-
penser.
20 ml – 25 ml detergent is suffi-
cient for normal soiling. If table-
ware is only lightly soiled, slightly
less than the amount of detergent
specified is usually sufficient.

3.

Close the lid of the detergent dis-
penser.

a

The lid clicks into position.

a

The detergent dispenser will open
automatically at the optimum time
during the programme. Powder or
liquid detergent will spread around
the washing tank and dissolve
there. Tablets will fall into the tablet
collecting tray and dissolve in the
