13Detergent Detergent
Detergent
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 29 and Rinse aid Page 31 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.
Detergent Tabs
Powder detergent
Description 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 is recommended for shorter Programmes. The dosage can be adjusted to the level of soiling.
Detergenten
Detergent Liquid detergent
Description 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.
Tip: Suitable detergents are available online via our website or from Customer Service Page 57.
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 29 and Rinse aid Page 31.
Combined detergent Besides conventional separate detergents, a number of products are available with additional functions.
33
enDetergent
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 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.
Detergent Hand washing-up liquid
Detergent containing chlorine
Description Hand washing-up liquid can cause increased frothing and damage the appliance. 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 com-
pletely 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 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 rinse aid. ¡ Use tablets with a special drying
performance.
13.4Adding detergent
1. To open the detergent dispenser, press the locking latch.

Tablewareen 3. Close the lid of the detergent dis-
penser.
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.

¡ For better washing and drying results, position items with curves or recesses at an angle so water can run off.
Basic operationen
1. Remove large remnants of food from tableware. 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,
