Find out which detergents are suit-
able for your appliance.

Suitable detergents

Only use detergents that are suitable
for dishwashers. Both separate and
combined detergents are suitable.
For optimum washing and drying res-
ults, use separate detergent, adding
"Special salt" → 

Page 28

 and "Rinse

aid" → 

Page 30

 separately.

Modern, powerful detergents mainly
use a low-alkaline formulation with
enzymes. Enzymes break down
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.
