Use of "3 in 1"/ Combi Detergent Tablets

General Advice

These products are tablets with combined detergent/ rinse-aid and salt functions.

1.Before using these products you should first check that the water hardness in your supply is compati- ble with the use of these products as per the detergent manufacturers instructions (on the prod- uct packaging).

2.These products should be strictly used according to the detergent manufacturers instructions.

1Do not place the tablets in the tub or the cutlery basket as this will result in poorer wash results. The tablets should be pla- ced in the detergent dispenser.

3.If you encounter problems when using "3 in1" products for the first time then please contact the detergent manufacturers care line (the telephone number is given on the product packaging).

Special Advice

When using combination products, the rinse-aid and salt lights are no longer useful. It may be helpful therefore to switch the rinse aid off - please note that only some dishwashers have this facility - and select- ing the lowest possible setting for water hardness.

For more information please refer to your instruction manual.

If you decide to switch to the use of a standard deter- gent system we advise that you:

•Refill both the salt and rinse aid compartments.

•Switch the waterhardness setting to the highest possible position and run for three normal cycles without a load.

•Readjust the waterhardness setting again accord- ing to the conditions for your region (as per the instruction manual).

Concentrated Detergent

Based on their chemical composition, dishwasher detergents can be split into two basic types:

–conventional, alkaline detergents with caus- tic components.

–low alkaline concentrated detergents with natural enzymes.

2The use of 50 °C wash programmes in con- junction with concentrated detergents reduces pollution and is good for your dishes; these wash programmes are spe- cially matched to the dirt-dissolving proper- ties of the enzymes in the concentrated detergent. For this reason 50 °C wash pro- grammes in which concentrated detergents are used can achieve the same results that can otherwise only be achieved using 65 °C programmes.

Detergent Tablets

3Detergent tablets of different makes dis- solve at different speeds. For this reason some detergent tablets cannot develop their full cleaning power during short pro- grammes. Therefore please use wash pro- grammes with pre wash when using detergent tablets.
