Different kinds of detergent
Concentrated Detergents
Modern detergents for dishwashers are almost exclusively
lowalkaline
concentrated detergents with natural enzymes in tablet
form.
2
Using 50°C washing programmes in conjunction with
these concentrated detergents reduces pollution and
is good for your dishes, as these washing pro-
grammes are specially matched to the dirt-dissolving
properties of the enzymes in concentrated deter-
gents. It is for this reason that using 50°C washing
programmes in conjunction with concentrated de-
tergents can achieve the same cleaning results that
can otherwise only be achieved using 65°C washing
programmes.
Use of combi tablet detergents
These products are detergents with a combined cleaning,
rinsing and salt function.
When the "Multi tab" function is activated,
– the addition of special salt and rinse aid from the respec-
tive dispenser is prevented.
– If the salt and rinse aid dispensers are empty, this is not in-
dicated.
– The dishwashing cycles can be up to 30 minutes longer.

If you want to use combi tablet detergents, check
whether these detergents are suitable for your water
hardness. (Follow the manufacturer’s instructions!)
If your water hardness is higher than that recom-
mended by the manufacturer but you would never-
theless like to use combi tablet detergents, proceed
as follows:
With the "Multi tab“ function selected, set the water
softener one hardness setting lower than when rins-
ing without multi tablet detergents.
Fill up the dispenser (if this is empty) with special
salt.
The dishwasher remembers the two different set-
tings of the degree of hardness for rinsing with and
without "Multi tab“ function.
If you want to use detergent tablets
1. Press the ON/OFF button.
2. Press the "Multi tab" button.
The button indicator lights up: "Multi tab" function is se-
lected.
Before the start of the dishwashing cycle put 3in1 detergent
in the detergent dispenser.
3
As the rinse aid inflow is automatically switched off
when the „Multi tab“ function is activated, it may
come about because of the different quality stand-
ards in the 3in1 detergent, that the dishes do not dry
sufficiently.
If this happens, proceed as follows (see section
“Rinse aid”):
• Fill up the dispenser (if this is empty) with rinse aid.
• Set rinse aid dosage to “2” mechanically.
• Activate rinse aid inflow.
If you decide to return to using standard detergents
we advise you to:
• Deactivate the "Multi tab" function.
• Fill up the dispensers for salt and rinse aid again.
• Adjust the water hardness setting to the highest setting
perform up to 3 normal washing programmes without
loading any dishes.
• Adjust the water hardness setting according to the hard-
ness of the water in your area.
• Adjust the rinse aid dosage.
When using "4 in 1" detergents that integrate also anti- glass
corrosion agent into "3 in 1" formula, please follow the
same indication as given for "3 in 1" detergents.
NOTE: When using 4 in 1 or 5 in 1 detergents that
integrate also anti-glass corrosion agent into "3 in 1" formu-
la, please follow the same indication as given for "3 in 1"
combi tablet detergents.

Detergent Tablets
3
Detergent tablets from different manufacturers
dissolve at different rates. For this reason, some de-
tergent tablets do not attain their full cleaning power
during short cycles. Therefore please use dishwash-
ing cycles with pre-wash when using detergent tab-
lets.
