Find out which detergents are suit-
able for your appliance.

Suitable detergents

Only use detergents that are suitable
for dishwashers. Both separate and
combined detergents are suitable.
For optimum washing and drying res-
ults, use separate detergent, adding
"Special salt" → 

Page 27

 and "Rinse

aid" → 

Page 29

 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 coloured marks, e.g.
tea or ketchup.

Note: 

Follow the manufacturer's in-

structions for each detergent.

Description

Tabs

Tabs are suitable for all
cleaning functions and do
not need to be measured
out.
With shorter "Pro-
grammes" 

→ 

Page 19

 tabs

sometimes do not dissolve
entirely and leave residues
of detergent. This may im-
pair the cleaning effect.

Powder deter-
gent

Powder detergent is re-
commended for shorter
"Programmes" 

→ 

Page 19

.

The dosage can be adjus-
ted to the level of soiling.

Liquid detergent

Liquid detergent works
faster and is recommen-
ded for shorter "Pro-
grammes" 

→ 

Page 19

without PreRinse.
Sometimes liquid deter-
gent may leak out despite
the detergent dispenser
being closed. This is not a
fault and is non-critical if
you remember the follow-
ing:

¡

Only choose a pro-
gramme without PreR-
inse.

¡

Do not select timer pro-
gramming for starting
the programme.

The dosage can be adjus-
ted to the level of soiling.

Tip: 

Suitable detergents are available

online via our website or from "Cus-
tomer Service" →

Separate detergents

Separate detergents are products
that do not contain components other
than detergent, e.g. powder deter-
gent or liquid detergent.
