en-us Dishware 11.3 Information on Detergent Follow the instructions on detergents in everyday use. ¡ Detergents marked as "ecological" (environmentally friendly) generally contain lower levels of active agents or none at all. The cleaning effect may be reduced. ¡ Adjust the rinse aid and the water 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 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. ¡ Any rinse aid component of a combination detergent has limited effectiveness. You will have better results using a separate rinse aid. ¡ To prevent sticking, only touch detergents in a watersoluble 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, the wash cycles will run properly with combination detergents. ¡ Use tablets with enhanced drying results. 11.4 Adding Detergent 1.
