 Detergent  en-us
4.
Close cover on the detergent dispenser. 
Cover “clicks” into position.
The detergent dispenser opens automatically at the 
optimum time depending on the wash cycle. The 
powder or liquid detergent is distributed in the 
appliance and is dissolved, the detergent tab falls 
into the detergent tab 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. 
Suitable detergents and care products can be 
purchased online via our website or via customer 
service (see back page). 
Combination detergent
Apart from conventional single function detergents, a 
number of products are offered with additional 
functions. These products contain not only the 
detergent but also rinse aid and salt replacement 
substances (3in1) and, depending on the combination 
(4in1, 5in1, ...), additional components such as glass 
protection or stainless steel cleaner. Combination 
detergents function only up to a specific degree of 
hardness (usually 21°dH). Over this limit salt and rinse-
aid must be added. 
As soon as combined detergents are used, the rinse 
programme is adjusted automatically to ensure the best 
possible rinsing and drying result.
Notes
If you want to add more utensils after the wash cycle 
has started, do not use the detergent tab tray 1B as 
a handle for the upper rack. The detergent tab could 
already be there and you will touch the partially 
dissolved tab.
Do not place small parts for washing in the detergent 
tab tray 1B; this prevents the detergent tab from 
dissolving evenly.
You will obtain optimum rinsing and drying results 
by using single function detergents and applying salt 
and rinse aid separately.
If wash cycles are short, detergent tabs 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 wash cycles.
The dosing of a detergent tab is adequate for the 
“Intensive” wash cycle (for some models). 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 cycle will run correctly with combined 
detergents.
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.
If you switch from combined detergents to single 
function detergents, ensure that the water softening 
system and amount of rinse aid have been set to 
the correct value.
Biological/eco detergents: Detergent products 
identified as “Bio” or “Eco” (to protect the 
environment) usually use lower quantities of active 
agents or completely dispense with certain 
substances. The cleaning effect of such products 
may occasionally be restricted.
