en 12 You can use tablets as well as powder or liquid detergents for dishwashers, but never use washing up liquid. The dosage can be individually adjusted with powder or a liquid detergent according to the degree of soiling. Tablets contain an adequately large amount of active ingredients for all cleaning tasks. Modern, pow erful detergents predominantly use a low-alkaline formulation with phosphate and enzymes. Phosphates bond the lime in the water. Enzymes break down starch and remove protein. Phosphate-free detergents are less frequent. These have a slightly weaker lime bonding capacity and require a higher dosage. To remove coloured stains (e.g. tea, tomato sauce), oxygen- based bleaching agents are usually used. Note To ensure a good washing result, always follow the instructions on the detergent packaging! If you have further questions, we recommend that you contact the detergent manufacturers’ helpline. ã=Warning Read and observe the safety information and instructions for use on the packaging for cleaning and rinsing agents. Adding detergent – If the detergent dispenser 1j is still closed, press the lock 9 to open the detergent dispenser. Pour detergent into the dry detergent dispenser 1j only (insert tablet flat, not on its edge). Dosage: see manufacturer’s instructions on the packaging. The graduated detergent dispenser 1j helps you add the correct amount of powder or liquid detergent. Usually 20 ml–25 ml are adequate for normal soiling. If using tablets, one tablet is adequate. – Close the cover on the detergent dispenser by sliding it up until the lock engages without difficulty. The detergent dispenser opens automatically at the optimum time depending on the programme. The powder or liquid detergent is distributed in the appliance and is dissolved, the tablet falls into the tablet collecting tray where it dissolves in doses.Detergent
en 13 Tip If the utensils are only lightly soiled, slightly less than the indicated amount of detergent is usually adequate. Suitable detergents and care products can be purchased online via our website or via customer service (see back page). Combination detergent Apart from conventional detergents (Solo), a number of products are offered with additional functions. These products contain not only the detergent but also rinse-aid and salt replacement substances (3in1) and, depending on the combination (4in1, 5in1, etc.), additional components such as glass protection or stainless steel cleaner. Combination detergents function only up to a specific degree of hardness (usually 26° Clarke). Over this limit salt and rinse-aid must be added. As soon as combined detergents areused, therinse programme isadjusted automatically to ensure the best possible rinsing and drying result. ã=Warnings –Do not place small parts for washing in the tablet collecting tray 1:; this prevents the tablet from dissolving evenly. – If you want to add more utensils after the programme has started, do not use the tablet collecting tray 1: as a handle for the upper basket. The tablet could already be there and you will touch the partially dissolved tablet. Notes – You will obtain optimum rinsing and drying results by using solo detergents and applying salt and rinse aid separately. – If programmes are short, tablets may not have full cleaning effect due to different dissolving properties and there may even be undissolved detergent residue. It is recommended to use washing powder for these programmes. – The Intensive programme (on some models) requires one tab only. When using washing powder, you can apply some of this cleaning agent to the inside of the appliance’s door. – Even if the rinse-aid and/or salt refill indicator is lit, the rinse programme will run correctly with combined detergents. – If using detergents in a water-soluble protective cover: Take hold of the cover with dry hands only and put the detergent into an absolutely dry detergent dispenser only, otherwise the detergent may stick. – If you switch from combined detergents to solo detergents, ensure that the water softening system and amount of rinse aid have been set to the correct value.

Express W ash / S peed P e rf ec t ( Var io Speed)Ÿ Express Wash/ Speed Perfect/ (VarioSpeed) * This function can reduce the running time by approx. 20% to 50% depending on the selected rinse programme. The change in the running time is indicated on the digital display H. To obtain optimum cleaning results at a reduced running time, water and energy consumption are increased. Ha lf lo ad§ Half load * If you have only a few items to wash (e.g. glasses, cups, plates), you can switch to “half load”. This will save water, energy and time. It is recommended to put a little less detergent in the detergent dispenser than for a full load. · Hygiene *Hyg ie ne The temperature is increased during the cleaning process. This increases the hygiene status. This additional option is ideal for cleaning e.g. chopping boards and baby bottles. Ï Intensive zone *Inte ns iv e z on e Perfect for a mixed load. You can wash very soiled pots and pans in the lower basket together with normally soiled utensils in the upper basket. The spray pressure in the lower basket is intensified, the rinsing temperature is increased slightly. ¿ Extra drying *Ex tr a d ry in g An increased temperature during the final rinse and an extended drying phase ensure that even plastic parts dry better. There is a slight increase in the energy consumption. Programme data The programme data (consumption values) can be found in the summary of instructions. They refer to normal conditions and the water hardness set value •:‹… . Different influencing factors such as e.g. water temperature or line pressure may result in deviations. Aqua s ensorAqua sensor * * depending on model The Aqua sensor is an optical measuring device (light barrier) which measures the turbidity of the rinsing water. The Aqua sensor is used according to the programme. If the Aqua sensor is active, “clean” rinsing water can be transferred to the next rinse bath and water consumption can be reduced by 3–6 litres. If the turbidity is greater, the water is drained and is replaced with fresh water. In the automatic programmes the temperature and running time can also be adjusted to the degree of soiling.
