11.3

Information on

Detergent

Follow the instructions on deter-

gents in everyday use.

¡

Detergents marked as "ecologi-

cal" (environmentally friendly)

generally contain lower levels

of active agents or none at all.

The cleaning effect may be re-

duced.

¡

Adjust the rinse aid and the wa-

ter softening system settings in

accordance with the detergent

or combination detergent in

use.

¡

According to manufacturers,

combination detergents with

salt replacement substances

can only be used up to a cer-

tain water hardness, usually 26

°E, without adding special salt.

For the best washing and dry-

ing results we recommend us-

ing special salt from a water

hardness of 17 °E.

¡

Any rinse aid component of a

combination detergent has lim-

ited effectiveness. You will

have better results using a sep-

arate rinse aid.

¡

To prevent sticking, only touch

detergents in a water-soluble

pouch with dry hands and only

ever place them in a dry deter-

gent dispenser.

¡

Even if the rinse aid and spe-

cial salt refill indicators light up,

the wash cycles will run prop-

erly with combination deter-

gents.

¡

Use tablets with enhanced dry-

ing results.

11.4

Adding Detergent

1.

To open the detergent dis-

penser, press the locking latch.

2.

Add the detergent to the dry

detergent dispenser.

3 tbsp

(45 ml)

1.75 tbsp

(25 ml)

1 tbsp

(15 ml)

If you are using tablets, one is

enough. Insert the tablets in a

horizontal position.

If you are using powder or liq-

uid detergent, follow the manu-

facturer's instructions and

quantities for dosage in the de-

tergent dispenser.

1.5 to 1.75 Tbsp (20 ml – 25

ml) detergent is sufficient for

normal soiling. If dishware is

only lightly soiled, slightly less

than the amount of detergent

specified is usually sufficient.
