based bleaching agents are generally
used to remove coloured marks, e.g.
tea or ketchup.

Note: 

Follow the manufacturer's in-

structions for each detergent.

Detergent

Description

Tabs

Tabs are suitable for all
cleaning functions and do
not need to be measured
out.
With shorter Programmes

→ 

Page 17

 tabs some-

times do not dissolve en-
tirely and leave residues of
detergent. This may impair
the cleaning effect.

Powder deter-
gent

Powder detergent is re-
commended for shorter
Programmes 

→ 

Page 17

.

The dosage can be adjus-
ted to the level of soiling.

Liquid detergent

Liquid detergent works
faster and is recommen-
ded for shorter Pro-
grammes 

→ 

Page 17

without PreRinse.
Sometimes liquid deter-
gent may leak out despite
the detergent dispenser
being closed. This is not a
fault and is non-critical if
you remember the follow-
ing:

¡

Only choose a pro-
gramme without PreR-
inse.

¡

Do not select timer pro-
gramming for starting
the programme.

The dosage can be adjus-
ted to the level of soiling.

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 Special
salt → 

Page 22

 and Rinse aid

→ 

Page 24

.

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.
