Before you re-insert the basket, ensure that it is at the same height on both sides. Otherwise, the appliance door cannot be closed and the upper spray arm will not connect to the water circuit. Detergents Information about detergents You can use any brand of liquid or powder detergent, as well as tablets, that have been specifically designed for use in domestic dishwashers. (Do not use normal washing-up liquid!) Nowadays there are three types of dishwasher detergent available: 1. those containing phosphates and chlorine, 2. those containing phosphates but no chlorine, 3. those containing neither phosphates nor chlorine. When a phosphate-free detergent is used in conjunction with hard water, there is a greater possibility that white marks will be left behind on crockery and glasses, etc. These can be avoided by pouring an increased amount of detergent into the dispenser. Chlorine-free detergents have a reduced bleaching effect. This can mean that tea stains are not completely removed or plastic items become discoloured. This can be resolved by: – selecting a higher temperature programme, or – increasing the amount of detergent, or – using a detergent that contains chlorine. Check the label on the detergent packaging to determine whether a particular product is suitable for use with silverware. If you have any further questions, we recommend that you contact the customer advice departments of the various detergent manufacturers. en Detergent dispenser with dosing aid The graduated detergent dispenser helps you add the correct amount of detergent. The lower and middle lines in the dispenser indicate15 ml and 25 ml of detergent respectively. The dispenser can be filled with 40 ml of detergent when the door is opened horizontally. Filling with detergent You can add detergent either when the appliance door is completely open or – for a more comfortable posture – when the door is half open. If the detergent dispenser is still closed, open it by pressing the catch . When the door is half open, press the button on the right side of the detergent dispenser. Swivel up the detergent compartment and cover. The detergent compartment can easily be locked into position by lifting it slightly. Pour detergent into the dispenser. Please follow the manufacturer’s instructions on the detergent packet for correct dosage. Due to the different solvency properties of the detergent tablets supplied by various manufacturers, the cleaning efficiency of the detergent may not be fully utilised by short programmes. It is recommended to use washing powder for these programmes. When you select the INTENSIVE programme, tip an extra 10–15 ml of detergent onto the inside surface of the door. en Reduce costs! If your dishes are only moderately dirty, you may be able to use less detergent than recommended. If using washing tablets, please refer to the washing tablets box where to place the tablets in the appliance (e.g. in the cutlery basket, detergent dispenser). Close the detergent dispenser. Slide the dispenser cover completely over the detergent compartment (1) and then press down firmly (2) until the catch “clicks” into position. Close the detergent dispenser when the door is completely open. Close the detergent dispenser when the door is half open. During the washing cycle the cover of the detergent dispenser is automatically opened and the detergent is washed out. The cover is therefore open when the programme ends. auto 3in1 The use of so-called combined detergent products may make the use of rinse aid and/or salt unnecessary. There are currently several types of combined detergent products available. 3in1: They contain detergent, rinse aid and salt function. 2in1: They contain detergent and rinse aid or salt function. >>> Always check the type of detergent or combined product which you are using! Always follow the operating instructions or the information on the packaging. The rinse programme is automatically adjusted in order to obtain the best possible rinsing and drying result. Observe the following important information if using combined cleaning products: Regeneration salt is not required up to a water hardness of 21 dH (37 fH, 26 Clarke, 3.7 mmol/l) only. No other settings on the appliance are required. Salt is still required if the water hardness is above 21 dH (37 fH, 26Clarke, 3.7 mmol/l). Fill the salt dispenser with salt 24 and select setting 6 on the water softening system. If in doubt, please contact the detergent manufacturer, especially if: the utensils are very wet at the end of the programme. limescale forms. en Note Optimum rinsing and drying results can be obtained by using standard detergents in conjunction with separate application of salt and rinse aid. Observance of the operating instructions or information on the packaging of the combined detergents determines their effectiveness. Note Even if the rinse aid and/or salt refill indicator is lit, the rinse programme runs correctly when 3in1 products are used. If t...
