Detergent
Find out which detergents are suitable
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" →Page27 and "Rinse aid"
→Page29 separately.
Modern, powerful detergents mainly
use a low-alkaline formulation with en-
zymes. Enzymes break down starch and
remove protein. Oxygen-based bleach-
ing agents are generally used to re-
move coloured marks, e.g. tea or
ketchup.
Note:Follow the manufacturer's in-
structions for each detergent.
DETERGENT DESCRIPTION
Tabs Tabs are suitable for
all cleaning functions
and do not need to be
measured out.
With shorter Pro-
grammes tabs some-
times do not dissolve
entirely and leave
residues of detergent.
This may impair the
cleaning effect.
Powder deter-
gent
Powder detergent is
recommended for
shorter Programmes.
The dosage can be ad-
justed to the level of
soiling.
DETERGENT DESCRIPTION
Liquid deter-
gent
Liquid detergent
works faster and is re-
commended for
shorter Programmes
without PreRinse.
Sometimes liquid de-
tergent may leak out
despite the detergent
dispenser being
closed. This is not a
fault and is non-crit-
ical if you remember
the following:
● Only choose a pro-
gramme without
PreRinse.
● Do not select timer
programming for
starting the pro-
gramme.
The dosage can be ad-
justed to the level of
soiling.
Separate detergents
Separate detergents are products that
do not contain components other than
detergent, e.g. powder detergent or li-
quid detergent.
With powder and liquid detergent the
dosage can be individually adjusted to
the level of soiling of the tableware.
For better washing and drying results
and to avoid damage to the appliance,
please additionally use "Special salt"
→Page27 and "Rinse aid" →Page29.
Combined detergent
Besides conventional separate deter-
gents, a number of products are avail-
able with additional functions. These
products contain not only detergent but
