USING THE DISPENSERS
For the best washing result it is important to use the correct
amount of detergent and rinse agent•
DETERGENT USE
Use only fresh dishwashing detergent ( powder is recom-
mended) manufactured specifically for dishwasher use. Use
of other types of detergents will result in excessive suds.
Be sure to check the phosphate content of the detergent m
be used. Phosphate helps prevent the minerals in hard
water from forming a film or spots on dishes. Hard water
requires your detergent to work harder• In hard water areas
you will find that detergents with high phosphate levels
will provide a better result• If the phosphate level is low,
below 8.7%, you may have to use extra detergent in hard
water areas.
With hard water, or with the POWER SCRUB PLUS
cycle, it is recommended that the detergent dispenser
be completely filled, roughly 9 teaspoons. If additional
detergent is required it can be placed on the inside of
the door, just below the dispenser.

Be sure to follow the dishwasher detergent manufacturer's
instructions when using the detergents. Concentrated
detergents usually call for lower usage than do standard
detergents.
Note: Do not use detergent when the RINSE & HOLD
cycle has been selected.
DETERGENT DISPENSER
The detergent dispenser on the Bosch dishwasher is
located on the inside of the door, see figure I as well as
figure I I and 12. The detergent dispenser cover may be
opened by pulling the release tab (figure 12) toward you.
Once the cover is open you will see two level marks:
-25" and "15". These refer to the w)lume when filled level
in millilders. 15 milliliters is equivalent to 3 teaspoons. It
the detergent dispenser is completely filled it can hold
45 milliliters, or roughly 9 teaspoons.
The alnount of dcteJgcnt to hc used depends on the cycle

With soft water the amount of detergent may be
reduced. Also, for the DELICATE/ECONOMY or
QUICK WASH cycles the amount of detergent may
be reduced. For the DELICATE/ECONOMY or
QUICK WASH cycles it is recommended that only
the chamber marked "15" be filled with detergent;
roughly 3 teaspoons of detergent.
If you have water of medium or higher hardness and the
dishes do not come clean the cause, in the majority of
cases, is the use of too little detergent rather than too
much. If you have very soft water, or chemically treated
soft water special care should be taken to use the minimum
amount of detergent. For these situations a high quality,
low phosphate detergent is recommended. Too much
detergent combined with soft water may cause etching of
glassware.
After filling the detergent compartment close the cover
by sliding it over the detergent chamber and pressing
down on the button until it clicks shut. The detergent will
be dispensed automatically during the wash portion of the
cycle.
If the cover of the detergent dispenser is closing fully but
it won't latch this is most likely due to the dishwasher
having been stopped in mid cycle, Check the alphanumeric
display, see Figure 2, m see d cycle has been complctcd.
