13.1Suitable detergents
Only use detergents that are suitable for dishwashers. Both separate and combined detergents are suitable. For optimum washing and drying results, use separate detergent, adding Special salt Page 25 and Rinse aid Page 26 separately. Modern, powerful detergents mainly use a low-alkaline formulation with enzymes. Enzymes break down starch and remove protein. Oxygenbased bleaching agents are generally used to remove coloured marks, e.g. tea or ketchup. Note: Follow the manufacturer’s instructions for each detergent. Tip: Suitable detergents are available online via our website or from Customer Service Page 49. Tabs Tabs are suitable for all cleaning functions and do not need to be measured out. With shorter programmes tabs sometimes do not dissolve entirely and leave residues of detergent. This may impair the cleaning effect.
27

enDetergent
Powder detergent Powder detergent is recommended for shorter programmes. The dosage can be adjusted to the level of soiling.
Liquid detergent Liquid detergent works faster and is recommended for shorter programmes without PreRinse. Sometimes liquid detergent may leak out despite the detergent dispenser being closed. This is not a fault and is non-critical if you remember the following: ¡ Only choose a programme without
PreRinse. ¡ Do not select timer programming
for starting the programme. The dosage can be adjusted to the level of soiling.
Separate detergents Separate detergents are products that do not contain components other than detergent, e.g. powder detergent or liquid 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 Page 25 and Rinse aid Page 26.
Combined detergent Besides conventional separate detergents, a number of products are available with additional functions. These products contain not only 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.
28

According to the manufacturers, combined detergents generally only function 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 washing programme is adjusted automatically to ensure the best possible washing and drying result.
13.2Unsuitable detergents
Do not use detergent which could cause damage to the appliance or present a risk to health. Hand washing-up liquid Hand washing-up liquid can cause increased frothing and damage the appliance. Detergent containing chlorine Chlorine residue on tableware may present a risk to health.
13.3Information on detergents
Follow the instructions on detergents in everyday use. ¡ Detergents marked as “organic” or
“ecological” (environmentally friendly) generally contain lower levels of active agents or completely dispense with certain substances. The cleaning effect may be restricted here. ¡ Set the rinse aid and the water softening system to the separate detergent or combined detergent in use. ¡ According to the manufacturers, combined detergents with salt replacement substances can only be used up to a certain water hard-

ness, usually 26 °E, without adding special salt. For the best washing and drying results we recommend using special salt from a water hardness of 17 °E. ¡ To prevent sticking, only touch detergents in a water-soluble pouch with dry hands and only ever place them in a dry detergent dispenser. ¡ Even if the rinse aid and special salt refill indicators light up, washing programmes will run properly with combined detergents. ¡ The function of rinse aid is limited with combined detergents. You will generally get better results using a separate rinse aid. ¡ Use tablets with a special drying performance.
13.4Adding detergent
1. To open the detergent dispenser, press the locking latch.

Detergenten 2. Add the detergent to the dry deter-
gent dispenser.
50 ml 25 ml 15 ml
If you are using tablets, one is enough. Insert the tablets in a horizontal position. If you are using powder or liquid detergent, follow the manufacturer’s instructions and quantities for dosage in the detergent dispenser. 20 ml 25 ml detergent is sufficient for normal soiling. If tableware is only lightly soiled, slightly less than the amount of detergent specified is usually sufficient.

29

enTableware 3. Close the lid of the detergent dis-
penser.
a The lid clicks into position. a The detergent dispenser will open
automatically at the optimum time during the programme. Powder or liquid detergent will spread around the washing tank and dissolve there. Tablets will fall into the tablet collecting tray and dissolve in the right dosage. In order to ensure that tablets can dissolve evenly, do not place any other objects in the tablet collecting tray. Tip: If you use powder detergent and select a program with pre-rinse, you can also add a little detergent to the interior door of the appliance.
14Tableware Tableware
Only Tableware clean tableware that is suitable for dishwashers. Note: Decorated glassware and parts made of aluminium or silver may fade or discolour with dishwashing. Delicate types of glass may turn cloudy after a few washing cycles.

The water temperature of the programme is too high.

Select a programme with lower temperatures. After the programme has ended, take glassware and cutlery out of the appliance without delay.

14.2Arrange tableware
Arrange tableware correctly to optimise the dishwashing result and prevent damage to both the appliance and tableware. Note Load the baskets so that no projecting items of tableware interfere with closing of the door. Projecting items of tableware may push the appliance door open during the programme, so

Tablewareen allowing steam to escape and water to leak out around the door. This could damage your kitchen units.
Tips ¡ Using the appliance allows you to
save energy and water compared to washing-up by hand. ¡ See our website for examples of how to load your appliance efficiently. ¡ To save energy and water, load the machine with the number of place settings specified (standard load with tableware and cutlery). “Technical specifications”, Page 50 ¡ For better washing and drying results, position items with curves or recesses at an angle so water can run off.

1. Remove large remnants of food from tableware. 31

Basic operation

To save resources, do not prerinse tableware under running water. 2. Observe the following when arranging tableware: Put heavily soiled tableware in
the bottom basket, e.g. pans. The more powerful the spray jet, the better the dishwashing result will be. To prevent damage to tableware, arrange it so it is stable and cannot tip over. To prevent injury, arrange cutlery with the points and sharp edges facing down. Position containers with the openings facing down so no water can collect in them. Do not block the spray arms make sure that they can turn freely. Do not place small parts in the tablet collecting tray and do not block it with tableware so as not to obstruct the lid of the detergent dispenser.

14.3Removing tableware
WARNING Risk of injury! Hot tableware can cause burns to the skin. When hot, tableware is sensitive to shock, may crack and can result in injury. When the programme has ended,
do not empty the appliance until the tableware has cooled down for a while. 1. To prevent water dripping on the tableware, unload it starting at the bottom and working up. 2. Check the washing tank and accessories for soiling and clean if necessary. “Cleaning and servicing”, Page 38
