Detergent
You can use tablets as well as powder or liquid
detergents for dishwashers, but never use washing up
liquid. Tablets contain not only detergent but also
rinse-aid and salt (3in1) and, depending on the
combination (4in1, 5in1, etc.), additional components
such as glass protection or stainless steel cleaner.
If tablets contain rinse-aid and salt, it is usually not
necessary to add additional rinse-aid and salt up to a
specific degree of hardness. If the degree of hardness
is higher and if using solo detergents (powder or liquid
detergents or tablets without rinse-aid and salt)
rinse-aid and salt must be added. The appliance doses
these automatically according to the preset values for
water hardness and amount of rinse-aid.
As soon as combined detergent products are used,
the rinse programme is adjusted automatically
to ensure the best possible rinsing and drying
result.
Tip
Follow the instructions for use or the instructions on the
detergent packaging to ensure that rinse-aid and salt
are used effectively.
If you have further questions, we recom- mend that you
contact the detergent manufacturers’ helpline.
Detergent dispenser with dosing aid
The graduated detergent dispenser
33
helps you add
the correct amount of powder or liquid detergent:
lower line:
15 ml
middle line: 25 ml
full: 50 ml
Adding detergent
Pour detergent into the dispenser
33
(insert tablet
flat, not on its edge).
Dosage: see manufacturer’s instructions on the
packaging.
Close the cover on the detergent dispenser by
sliding it up until the lock engages without difficulty.
The detergent dispenser opens automatically at the
optimum time depending on the programme.
The powder or liquid detergent is distributed in the
appliance and is dissolved, the tablet falls into the
tablet collecting tray where it dissolves in doses.
Tip
If the utensils are only lightly soiled, slightly less than
the indicated amount of detergent is usually adequate.
Warnings
Do not place small parts for washing in the tablet
collecting tray
24
; this prevents the tablet from
dissolving evenly.
If you want to add more utensils after the
programme has started, do not use the tablet
collecting tray
24
as a handle for the upper basket.
The tablet could already be there and you will touch
the partially dissolved tablet.
Note
You will obtain optimum rinsing and drying results by
using solo detergents and applying salt and rinse-aid
separately.
f programmes are short, tablets may not have full
cleaning effect due to different dissolving properties
and there may even be undissolved detergent
residue. It is recommended to use washing powder
for these programmes.
The Intensive programme (on some models)
requires one tab only. When using washing powder,
you can apply some of this cleaning agent to the
inside of the appliance’s door.
Even if the rinse-aid and/or salt refill indicator is lit,
the rinse programme will run correctly if combined
detergents are used (when using combined
detergents, add rinse-aid at a water hardness above
21
_
dH – see chapter entitled “Rinse-aid”).
If you switch from combined detergents to solo
detergents, ensure that the water softening system
and amount of rinse-aid have been set to the correct
value.
If using detergents in a water-soluble protective
cover: Take hold of the cover with dry hands only
and put the detergent into an absolutely dry
detergent dispenser only, otherwise the detergent
may stick.
