Detergent

32

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.

Detergent

Description

Hand washing-up
liquid

Hand washing-up liquid
can cause increased froth-
ing and damage the appli-
ance.

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.
