12.3 Information on Detergent
Follow the instructions on detergents in everyday use.
¡
Detergents marked as "ecological" (environmentally
friendly) generally contain lower levels of active agents
or none at all. The cleaning effect may be reduced.
¡
Adjust the rinse aid and the water 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 certain water hardness, usually 26 °E, without
adding special salt. For the best washing and drying
results we recommend using special salt from a water
hardness of 17 °E.
¡
Any rinse aid component of a combination detergent
has limited effectiveness. You will have better results
using a separate rinse aid.
¡
To prevent sticking, only touch detergents 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, the wash cycles will run properly with combination
detergents.
¡
Use tablets with enhanced drying results.

in a horizontal position.
If you are using powder or liquid detergent, follow the
manufacturer's instructions and quantities for dosage in
the detergent dispenser.
1.5 to 1.75 Tbsp (20 ml – 25 ml) detergent is sufficient
for normal soiling. If dishware is only lightly soiled,
slightly less than the amount of detergent specified is
usually sufficient.

The detergent dispenser will open automatically at the
optimum time during the cycle. 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 right dosage. In order to ensure
that tablets can dissolve evenly, do not place any other
objects in the tablet collecting tray.
