10.1 The correct detergents
Only use detergents that are made for dishwashers, either

detergent, then add Rinse aid →

separately.
Modern, powerful detergents mainly use a low-alkaline
formulation with enzymes. Enzymes break down starch
and remove protein. Oxygen-based bleaching agents are
generally used to remove colored stains, e.g. tea or
ketchup.
Note:Follow the manufacturer's instructions for each
detergent.
Detergent Description
Tabs Tabs are perfect for all cleaning
functions and do not need to be
measured out.
However, with shorter Cycles

sometimes tabs do not
dissolve entirely and leave residues
of detergent. This may reduce its
effectiveness.
Powder detergent Powder detergent is recommended
for shorter cycles. The dosage can
be adjusted to the level of soiling.
Liquid detergent Liquid detergent works faster and is
recommended for shorter cycles
without a pre-rinse.
Sometimes liquid detergent may
leak out despite the detergent
dispenser being closed. This is not a
problem, just remember the
following:
¡ Only choose a cycle without
PreRinse.
¡ Do not use the Delay Start option.
The dosage can be adjusted to the
level of soiling.
10.2 Incompatible detergents
Do not use a detergent which is not designated for
dishwasher use or contains chlorine.
Detergent Description
Liquid hand soap Liquid hand soap can
cause increased frothing
and damage the appliance.
Detergent containing
chlorine
This may leave chlorine
residue on dishware.
10.3 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.
¡ 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 water-
soluble 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.
10.4 Adding Detergent
1. To open the detergent dispenser, 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 liquid detergent, follow the
manufacturer's instructions and quantities for dosage in
the detergent 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.
