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 the manufacturers,
combined detergents generally only
function 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 wash-
ing and drying results we recom-
mend using special salt and rinse aid
from a water hardness of 17 °E. If
you are using combined detergent,
the washing programme is adjusted
automatically to ensure the best pos-
sible washing and drying result.
12.2 Unsuitable detergents
Do not use detergent which could
cause damage to the appliance or
present a risk to health.
Hand washing-up liquid
Hand washing-up liquid can cause in-
creased frothing and damage the ap-
pliance.
Detergent containing chlorine
Chlorine residue on tableware may
present a risk to health.
12.3 Information on deter-
gents
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 the manufacturers,
combined detergents with salt re-
placement substances can only be
used up to a certain water hard-
ness, usually 26 °E, without
adding special salt. For the best
washing and drying results we re-
commend using special salt from a
water hardness 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 a
separate rinse aid.
¡
Use tablets with a special drying
performance.
