8.4.2. Detergent concentrates
Concentrates come in two types, depending on their
chemical composition:

ness)
A “normal”wash program in conjunction with a detergent
concentrate reduces water pollution and is better for the
dishes. These wash programs are designed to loosen the
dirt optimally and can achieve the same effect with clean-
er concentrate as an “intensive”program.

8.4.3. Detergent tabs
The various components of cleaner tabs (e.g. 3-in-1 tabs,
rinse aid, salt) dissolve gradually in sequence. The combi-
nation of several components does away with the need
for a separate rinse aid and/or salt).

Larger cleaner tabs may not dissolve fully in certain cir-
cumstances. Make sure that the tabs are suitable for the
selected wash program and follow the manufacturer’s
instructions.
* When regeneration is carried out during a program, an
additional 2 l of water is required, the energy consumption
increases by 0.01 kWh and the program is extended by 4 min-
utes.
8.5. Adding detergent
Close the appliance door.

and make settings.
Detergents are chemicals containing caustic and abrasive
ingredients. There is a risk of injury. Dishwasher deter-
gents are highly alkaline, therefore dangerous if swal-
lowed and may cause burns.
Within the next 60 seconds, press and hold the P but-
ton (22) for approx. 5 seconds.
Then press the P button several times in accordance
with the table above to set the salt consumption.
Press the P button (22) several times until the required
water hardness level (H1, H2, H3, H4, H5 or H6) is set.
The setting is saved after 5 seconds if no further but-
tons are pressed.
Avoid contact with the eyes and skin.
Always keep detergents out of reach of children.
Keep children away from the appliance door when
open, there could be detergent in the appliance.
Do not fill the detergent compartment with detergent
until just before running the wash cycle.
8.4. About dishwasher detergents
8.4.1. Types of detergent
NOTICE!
Dishwasher detergent ensures that dirt is loosened and
removed from dishes and cutlery. Always use detergents
suitable for dishwashers. There are three types of dish-
washer detergent:
Possible material damage!
Incorrect cleaning agents may damage the appliance.
Only use dishwasher-safe detergent and rinse aid. Do
not use soap, laundry detergent or hand wash.

Detergents with phosphate and chlorine
Detergents with phosphate and without chlorine
Detergents without phosphate and without chlorine.
Dishwasher detergent must be added before each
wash cycle. Only add as much detergent as indicated in
the table in section “9.6. Selecting a wash program”on
page 115.
Dishwasher detergent in powdered form does not nor-
mally contain phosphate. As phosphate softens water, this
function is not performed without phosphate.
If phosphate-free detergent is used, add extra dish-
washer salt (see section “8.2. Adding salt to the appli-
ance”on page 110).
If using phosphate-free detergent, increase the dose
of detergent to avoid water spots on the dishes and
glasses.
Detergents with chlorine will bleach the dishes slightly.
Stains and crusts are removed less easily without chlorine.
In this case, select a wash program with a higher tem-
perature.
The appliance normally needs less detergent than a con-
ventional dishwasher. One tablespoon of detergent is usu-
ally enough to wash a complete load of dishes. Depend-
ing on the degree of dirt, more can also be required.
Always add the detergent immediately before the wash
cycle so that dishwasher powder does not become moist
and dissolves properly later.
Open the appliance door.
