Place the "Extra Tall Item Sprinkler" over the upper
rack spray outlet at the back of the dishwasher tub
(refer to figure 7) and turn clockwise to lock sprinkler
head in place.
Extra tall items may now be placed in lower rack for
washing, as shown in figure 8. To remove "Extra Tall Item
Sprinkler", to again allow use of upper rack, reverse
actions used to insert it.
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
recommended) manufaetored 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 to 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.
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 1 as well as
figure 9 and 10. The detergent dispenser cover may be
opened by pulling the release tab (figure 10) toward you.
Once the cover is open you will see two level marks:
"25" and "15". These refer to the volume when filled level
in milliliters. 15 milliliters is equivalent to 3 teaspoons. If
the detergent dispenser is completely filled it can hold
45 milliliters, or roughly 9 teaspoons.
Release
_10.
The amount of detergent to be used depends on the cycle
selected and the water hardness:
•
For water of medium hardness and REGULAR WASH
cycle it is recommended that the detergent dispenser
be filled to the 25 milliliters, (5 tsp.) level.
•
Wxth hard water, or with the POWER SCRUB cycle,
it is recommended that the detergent dispenser be
completely filled, roughly 9 teaspoons.
•
With soft water the amount of detergent may be
reduced.
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 yon 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
glasswage.
