This can be removed by replacing the pre-
wash detergent with two tablespoons of cit-
ric acid. If the water is very hard, use a rinse 
aid that contains citric acid.
Different brands of dishwasher detergent 
have different amounts of phosphorous for 
softening water. If you have hard water and 
use a detergent with less than 8.7% phos-
phorous content, you may need to use more 
detergent or use a detergent with more than 
8.7% phosphorous content.
NOTE: 
We recommend that you do not add pre-
wash detergent for the Quick wash pro-
grams.
Dishwasher tablets
Halve the tablet if it is difficult to close the 
dispenser cover. There is a risk that the 
dishwasher detergent will not break down 
properly to give the correct dosage if the 
cover is tight and cannot be opened cor-
rectly.
3-in-1/ Multi-purpose detergent
Note! 
If you use a dishwashing detergent with a 
rinse aid additive, you may not need to fill 
the rinse aid dispenser. 
Read the directions for use for such products 
carefully. If anything  is unclear,  contact  the 
detergent manufacturer.
