en Detergent 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. 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 25 and "Rinse aid" → Page 26 .
Detergent Description Tabs Tabs are suitable for all cleaning functions and do not need to be measured out. With shorter "Pro- grammes" → Page 18 tabs sometimes do not dissolve entirely and leave residues of detergent. This may im- pair the cleaning effect. Powder deter- gent 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 water hardness of 17 °E. If you are using combined detergent, the wash- ing programme is adjusted automat- ically to ensure the best possible washing and drying result. Powder detergent is re- commended for shorter "Programmes" → Page 18 . The dosage can be adjus- ted to the level of soiling.
Liquid detergent Liquid detergent works faster and is recommen- ded for shorter "Pro- grammes" → Page 18 without PreRinse. Sometimes liquid deter- gent may leak out despite the detergent dispenser being closed. This is not a fault and is non-critical if you remember the follow- ing: Ў Only choose a pro- gramme without PreR- inse. Ў Do not select timer pro- gramming for starting the programme. The dosage can be adjus- ted to the level of soiling. Tip: Suitable detergents are available online via our website or from "Cus- tomer Service" → Page 55 . 28
