starch and remove protein. Oxygen-
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.
Tip:
Suitable detergents are available
online via our website or from Cus-
tomer Service →
Tabs
Tabs are suitable for all cleaning
functions and do not need to be
measured out.
With shorter programmes tabs some-
times do not dissolve entirely and
leave residues of detergent. This may
impair the cleaning effect.
Powder detergent
Powder detergent is recommended
for shorter programmes.
The dosage can be adjusted to the
level of soiling.
Liquid detergent
Liquid detergent works faster and is
recommended for shorter pro-
grammes without PreRinse.
Sometimes liquid detergent may leak
out despite the detergent dispenser
being closed. This is not a fault and
is non-critical if you remember the
following:
¡
Only choose a programme without
PreRinse.
¡
Do not select timer programming
for starting the programme.
The dosage can be adjusted to the
level of soiling.
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 →
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.
