en Detergent 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 "Spe- cial salt" → Page 22 and "Rinse aid" → Page 24 . Unsuitable detergents Do not use detergent which could cause damage to the appliance or present a risk to health. Detergent Description Hand washing-up liquid Hand washing-up liquid can cause increased froth- ing and damage the appli- ance.
Detergent con- taining chlorine Chlorine residue on table- ware may present a risk to health. 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 manufacturers, com- bined detergents generally only func- tion 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 washing and drying results we recommend using special salt and rinse aid from a wa- ter hardness of 17 °E. If you are us- ing combined detergent, the washing programme is adjusted automatically to ensure the best possible washing and drying result. Information on detergents Follow the instructions on detergents in everyday use. Ў 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. Ў Set the rinse aid and the water softening system to the separate detergent or combined detergent in use.
Ў According to manufacturers, com- bined detergents with salt replace- ment substances can only be used up to a certain water hardness, usually 26 °E, without adding spe- cial salt. For the best washing and drying results we recommend us- ing special salt from a water hard- ness of 17 °E. Ў 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. Ў Even if the rinse aid and special salt refill indicators light up, wash- ing programmes will run properly with combined detergents. 26
