Detergent
12.1Suitable 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 23 and Rinse aid Page 25
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
48.
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.
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.
26
For better washing and drying results and to avoid damage to the appliance,
please additionally use Special salt Page 23 and Rinse aid Page 25.
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. 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.
12.2Unsuitable 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.
Detergenten
12.3Information 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 hardness, 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.
12.4Adding detergent

3. Close the lid of the detergent dispenser.
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.
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.
13Tableware 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

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.
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.
1. Remove large remnants of food from tableware.
