Detergent Description
Tabs Tabs are perfect for
all cleaning functions
and do not need to
be measured out.
However, with
shorter Cycles
→ Page14 some-
times tabs do not
dissolve entirely and
leave residues of de-
tergent. This may re-
duce its effective-
ness.
Powder
detergent
Powder detergent is
recommended for
shorter cycles. The
dosage can be ad-
justed to the level of
soiling.
Liquid de-
tergent
Liquid detergent
works faster and is
recommended for
shorter cycles with-
out a pre-rinse.
Sometimes liquid
detergent may leak
out despite the de-
tergent dispenser
being closed. This is
not a problem, just
remember the fol-
lowing:
¡ Only choose a cy-
cle without Pre-
Rinse.
¡ Do not use the
Delay Start op-
tion.
The dosage can be
adjusted to the level
of soiling.
11.2 Incompatible

11.3 Information on
Detergent
Follow the instructions on deter-
gents in everyday use.
¡ Detergents marked as "ecologi-
cal" (environmentally friendly)
generally contain lower levels
of active agents or none at all.
The cleaning effect may be re-
duced.
¡ Adjust the rinse aid and the wa-
ter softening system settings in
accordance with the detergent
or combination detergent in
use.
¡ According to manufacturers,
combination detergents with
salt replacement substances
can only be used up to a cer-
tain water hardness, usually 26
°E, without adding special salt.
For the best washing and dry-
ing results we recommend us-
ing special salt from a water
hardness of 17 °E.
¡ Any rinse aid component of a
combination detergent has lim-
ited effectiveness. You will
have better results using a sep-
arate rinse aid.
