Environmental protection and savings

3.1 Disposal of the packaging
The packaging materials are environmentally friendly and can be reused.
▶ Dispose of the individual components separately by type.
3.2 Saving energy
If you follow these instructions, your appliance will use less electricity and water.
Use the Eco 50° programme. a The Eco 50° program is enerenergy-saving and environmentally friendly.
→”Programs”, page 19
Zeolite drying automatically contributes to energy savings.
a→”Drying with zeolite “, Page 11
3.3 Zeolite drying
The device is equipped with a zeolite reservoir. Energy can be saved by means of zeolite drying.
Zeolite is a mineral that can store and release moisture and heat energy.
During the washing phase, heat energy is used to heat the washing water and dry the mineral.
During the drying phase, moisture from the rinse chamber is stored in the mineral and heat energy is released. The heat energy is blown out into the wash chamber with dry air.
This enables rapid and improved drying.
Zeolite drying is therefore very energy-saving.
Tip: To ensure that the zeolite drying works properly, do not place any dishes directly in front of the suction opening and outlet opening of the zeolite reservoir.
Do not place temperature-sensitive dishes directly in front of the blow-out opening of the zeolite reservoir.

Detergent

12.1 Suitable dishwasher detergents
Only use detergents that are suitable for dishwashers. Suitable for both non- combined and combined detergents.
For optimal washing and drying results, use a non-combined detergent in combination with separate water softener salt
→Page 26and rinse aid
→Page 28.

Modern, powerful dishwasher detergents usually have a low alkaline recipe with enzymes. Enzymes break down starch and dissolve proteins. Oxygen-based bleaching agents are usually used to remove colored stains (e.g. tea or ketchup).
Remark: Follow the manufacturer’s instructions for any detergent.
Tip: Suitable detergents are available online via our website or after- sales service →Page 53.
tabs
Tabs are suitable for all dishwashing tasks and do not need to be dosed.
With shortened programs, tabs may not dissolve completely, leaving detergent residue. This can negatively affect the cleaning effect.
Dishwasher powder
Powder detergent is recommended for shortened programmes.
The dosage can be adjusted according to the degree of soiling.
Liquid dishwashing detergent
Liquid detergents work faster and are recommended for shortened programs without a pre-rinse phase.
It may happen that a liquid detergent that has been filled in runs out of the detergent dispenser despite the lid being closed. This is not a malfunction and is not serious if you observe the following: ¡Select only one program without pre-rinse phase.
¡Do not make any time setting for the program start.
The dosage can be adjusted according to the degree of soiling.
Non-combined dishwashing detergent
Non-combined detergents are products that do not contain any other components apart from the actual detergent. Examples of this are dishwasher powder or liquid dishwasher detergent.
With powder and liquid detergent, the dosage can be adjusted to the degree of soiling of the dishes.
For better washing and drying results and to prevent damage to the appliance, it is recommended that you also use water softening salt →Page 26 and rinse aid →Page 28to use.
Combined dishwasher detergent
In addition to traditional non- combined detergents, a number of products with additional functions are offered. In addition to cleaning agent, these products also contain rinse aid and salt substitutes (3in1) and, depending on the combination (4in1, 5in1, …), additional components such as glass protection or stainless steel polish. According to the manufacturer’s specifications, combined detergents generally only function at water hardnesses of 21 °dH. If the water hardness exceeds 21 °dH, you must add softening salt and rinse aid. For optimum washing and drying results, we recommend using softening salt and rinse aid from a water hardness of 14 °dH. If you use combined detergents,

12.2 Unsuitable detergent
Do not use detergents that could damage the appliance or harm your health.
Hand dishwashing liquid
Hand dishwashing liquid can lead to increased foaming and damage the appliance.
Chlorinated dishwasher detergent
Chlorine residues on crockery can endanger your health.

12.3 Notes on detergents
For daily use, follow the instructions regarding the detergents.
¡Detergents with the indication thing “Bio” or “Eco” usually cotain (for environmental reasons) lower amounts of active substances or some substances do not even exist at all. This may limit the cleaning effect.
¡Set the rinse aid system and the water softener to the non-combined or combined detergent used.
¡Combined dishwasher detergents according to the manufacturer’s instructions, salt substitutes can only be used up to a certain degree of hardness, usually 21 °dH, without the addition of water softener salt. For optimum washing and drying results, we recommend using softening salt from a water hardness of 14 °dH.
¡Hit dishwashing detergents with an in water-soluble protective packaging only with dry hands and place only in a dry detergent dispenser to prevent the packaging from sticking.
¡Even when the gloss add rinse aid and the refill softener salt indicator lights up, the washing programs run smoothly when using combined detergents.
¡The function of rinse aid is limited for combined detergents.
You will usually achieve better results by using rinse aid.
¡Use tabs with special drying performance.

  1. To open the detergent dispenser, press the lock.

  2. Place detergent in the dry detergent dispenser. SIEMENS SN25ZI08CE Dishwasher - detergent dispenserIf you use tabs, one tablet is sufficient. Place tabs across the tray.
    When using powder or liquid detergent, follow the manufacturer’s dosing instructions and the dosing format of the detergent dispenser.
    With a normal degree of soiling, 20 ml – 25 ml of detergent is sufficient.
    For less soiled crockery, a slightly smaller amount of detergent than indicated is sufficient.

  3. Close the lid of the detergent dispenser.SIEMENS SN25ZI08CE Dishwasher - detergent

a The lid clicks audibly into place. a The detergent dispenser is depending on the program opens automatically at the optimum time for the program. The powder or liquid detergent is spread and dissolved in the rinse aid container.
