Preparation

C

Information about suitable places 
(detergent dispenser, basket etc.) 
in the dishwasher to place the 
tablet can be found in the usage 
instructions on the packages of 
the tablet detergents.

Tablet detergent types commonly found in 
the market:

2in1:

 Contains detergent, rinse aid or water 

softening salt

3in1:

 Contains detergent, rinse aid and 

water softening salt

4in1:

 Contains glass protectors in addition 

to detergent, rinse aid and water softening 
salt

5in1:

 Contains glass and stainless steel 

protectors in addition to detergent, rinse aid 
and water softening salt.

C

Observe the instructions of the 
detergent manufacturer on the 
package when using tablet 
detergents.

C

Contact the detergent producer 
if your dishes are wet and/
or if you notice limescale spots 
particularly on your glasses after 
the washing programme is over 
when using a tablet detergent.

When you switch to powder 

detergent from tablet detergent:

1.  Make sure that salt and rinse aid 

reservoirs are full.

2.  Set the water hardness to the highest 

level and perform an empty run.

3.  After the empty washing cycle, review 

the user manual and readjust the water 
hardness level so as to suit the water 
supply.

4.  Make the appropriate rinse aid settings.

C

In programmes with pre-washing 
and high temperature, in which 
you may use tablet detergents, 
make sure that the detergent 
dispenser lid is closed firmly.

C

Use powder detergent in short 
programmes without prewash 
since the solubility of the tablet 
detergent changes depending on 
the temperature and time.

A

Excessive usage of powder 
detergents will cause the 
detergent not dissolve 
completely and will also cause 
scratches on the glassware.

Tablet detergents

Tablet detergents exhibit water softening and 
/ or rinse aid effect in addition to detergent 
effect. Some types of these detergents also 
contain special-purpose washing chemicals 
such as glass and stainless steel protectors.

C

Tablet detergents give satisfying 
results only under certain usage 
conditions. The best washing 
performance in dishwashers is 
obtained by using detergent, 
rinse aid and water softening salt 
individually.
