4.10 Using combined detergents
Only use detergents specifically designed for
domestic dishwashers. Keep your detergents
in cool, dry places out of reach of children.
Add the proper detergent for the selected
program to ensure the best performance.
The amount of detergent needed depends on
the cycle, load size, and soil level of
dishes. Do not fill detergent into the detergent
compartment more than required; otherwise
you can see whitish streaks or bluish layers
on glass and dishes and may cause glass
corrosion. Continued use of too much
detergent may cause machine damage. Us-
ing little detergent can result in poor cleaning
and you can see whitish streaksin hard water.
See the detergent manufacturer’s instruc-
tions for a further information
Push the latch to open the dispenser and
pour in the detergent.
Close the lid and press it until it locks in
place. The dispenser should be refilled just
before the start of each programme. If the
dishes are heavily soiled, place additional
detergent in the pre-wash detergent chamber
These products should be used according to
the manufacturer’s instructions.
Never put combined detergents into the inte-
rior section or the cutlery basket. Combined
detergents contain not only the detergent but
also rinse-aid, salt replacement substances
and additional components depending on the
combination.
We recommend you do not use combined
detergents in short programmes.
Please use powder detergents in such
programmes.
If you encounter problems when using
combined detergents, please contact the
detergent manufacturer.
When you stop using combined detergents,
make sure that water hardness and rinse aid
settings are set to the correct level.
The rinse aid helps to dry the dishes without
streaks and stains. Rinse-aid is required for
stain-free utensils and clear glasses. The
rinse aid is automatically released during the
hot rinse phase. If rinse aid dosage setting
set too low, whitish stains remains on dishes
and dishes do not dry and washed clean. If
rinse aid dosage setting set too height, you
can see bluish layers on glass and dishes.
To fill the rinse aid compartment, open the
rinse-aid compartment cap. Fill the compart-
ment with rinse aid to the MAX level and then
close the cap. Be careful not to overfill the
rinse aid compartment and wipe up any spills
In order to change the rinse aid level,
follow the below steps:
•
Open the door of the machine.
•
Turn on the machine, and touch the
Programme button as soon as the machine is
turned on.
•
Hold down the Programme button until
“rA” disappears. Rinse aid setting follows
water hardness setting.
•
The machine will display the last setting.
•
Change the level by touching the pro-
gramme button.
•
Turn off the machine to save the setting.
The factory rinse aid level setting is “4”.
If the dishes are not drying properly or are
spotted, increase the level. If blue stains form
on your dishes, decrease the level.
