Concentrated detergents

Today’s detergents for dishwashers are almost exclusively lowaline concen trated detergents with natural enzymes in tablet or powder form.

2Using 50°C dishwashing cycles in conjunction with these concentrated deter gents reduces pollution and is good for your dishes, as these dishwashing cycles are specially matched to the dirtissolving properties of the enzymes in con centrated detergents. It is for this reason that using 50 °C dishwashing cycles in conjunction with concentrated detergents can achieve the same cleaning results that can otherwise only be achieved using 65 °C cycles.

Detergent tablets

3Detergent tablets from different manufacturers dissolve at different rates. For this reason, some detergent tablets do not attain their full cleaning power dur ing short cycles. Therefore please use dishwashing cycles with prewash when using detergent tablets.

Using 3in1 detergents

These products are detergents with a combined cleaning, rinsing and salt func tion.

When the 3in1 function is activated,

–the addition of special salt and rinse aid from the respective dispenser is pre vented.

–If the salt and rinse aid dispensers are empty, this is not indicated.

–The dishwashing cycles can be up to 30 minutes longer.

3If you want to use 3in1 detergents, check whether these detergents are suitable for your water hardness. (Follow manufacturer’s instructions!)

If your water hardness is higher than that recommended by the manufacturer but you would nevertheless like to use 3in1 detergent, proceed as follows:

•With the 3in1 function selected, set the water softener one hardness setting lower than when rinsing without 3in1 detergent.

•Fill up the dispenser (if this is empty) with special salt.

The dishwasher remembers the two different settings of the degree of hardness for rinsing with and without 3in1 function.
