Warning!

Two-in-one and three-in-one detergents

You will obtain the best results from your dishwasher if you use separate detergent, rinse aid and water- softening salt.

Detergent manufacturers also produce combined detergents known as ‘two-in- one’ and ‘three-in-one’.

Three-in-one: These products contain detergent, rinse aid and water- softening salt.

Two-in-one: These products contain detergent and either rinse aid or water- softening salt.

In general, you will obtain satisfactory results from combined detergents only under specific usage conditions. These detergents contain predetermined amounts of rinse aid and/or softening salt. This means that you cannot adjust the amount of water-softening salt and rinse aid required to suit the water hardness level in your home.

You should bear the following points in mind when using such detergents:

•Be sure to check the specifications of the product you are using and whether it is a combined product or not.

•Follow the instructions on the packet when using these products.

•The use of these products at the correct appliance settings will ensure economical use of salt and/ or rinse aid.

•If the detergent is in tablet form, never place these in the internal section or cutlery basket of the

dishwasher. Always place the tablets in the detergent dispenser of the detergent holder.

Using three-in-one detergent, softening salt and rinse aid.

•These detergents will not give you the same drying performance that you can obtain by using separate detergent, salt and rinse aid. To increase the drying performance:

•Put your appliance’s rinse aid setting at “1” and apply rinse aid. When the rinse aid is used up, add more rinse aid to the rinse aid dispenser.

•If you use combined detergents with a rinse aid setting higher than 1, hand contact may leave rainbow-coloured water stains on the washed items and inside the machine.

•If you use combined detergents without adding salt, lime scale may form especially on glasses. To avoid lime scale formation:

•Put your appliance’s water softener setting at “1” and add salt. When the salt is used up, add more salt to the water softener.

Using two-in-one detergent: detergent and softening salt

•These detergents do not contain rinse aid so you need to use the rinse aid setting as described in the manual, making sure that there is rinse aid in the rinse aid dispenser with every wash and that you refill the rinse aid dispenser with rinse aid every time it is empty.
