● Set the rinse aid and the water
softening system to the separate de-
tergent or combined detergent in
use.
● According to manufacturers, com-
bined detergents with salt replace-
ment 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.
● To prevent sticking, only touch deter-
gents 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, washing pro-
grammes will run properly with com-
bined detergents.
● The function of rinse aid is limited
with combined detergents. You will
generally get better results using
rinse aid.
● Use tablets with a special drying per-
formance.
Adding detergent
1. To open the detergent dispenser,
press the locking latch.
2. Add the detergent to the dry deter-
gent dispenser.
If you are using tablets, one is
enough. Insert the tablets in a hori-
zontal position.
If you are using powder or liquid de-
tergent, follow the manufacturer's in-
structions and quantities for dosage
in the detergent dispenser.
20ml–25ml detergent is sufficient
for normal soiling. If tableware is
only lightly soiled, slightly less than
the amount of detergent specified is
usually sufficient.
3. Close the lid of the detergent dis-
penser.
a The lid clicks into position.
a The detergent dispenser will open
automatically at the optimum time
during the programme. Powder or li-
quid detergent will spread around
the washing tank and dissolve there.
Tablets will fall into the tablet collect-
ing tray and dissolve in the right
dosage. In order to ensure that tab-
lets can dissolve evenly, do not place
any other objects in the tablet col-
lecting tray.
Tip:If you use powder detergent and
select a program with pre-rinse, you
can also add a little detergent to the in-
terior door of the appliance.
