Bosch SPX5ES55UC Instructions for Use - Page 8

Detergent Use only detergent specifically designed for dishwashers. Note: To avoid dishwasher damage, do not use hand dishwashing products in your dishwasher. The dishwasher uses less water than most, therefore, less detergent is required. With soft water, 1 tablespoon (15ml) of detergent will clean most loads. The detergent dispenser cup has lines that measure detergent (Figure 2) to 1 tablespoon (15ml) and 2 tablespoons (25ml). 3 tablespoons (45ml) of detergent will completely fill the detergent dispenser. Note: If you do not know the hardness of your water supply, use 15ml (1 tbsp) of detergent. Increase the amount if necessary to the least amount required to get your kitchenware clean. Use the measuring lines in the detergent dispenser cup as a guide to measure the amount of detergent recommended in Table 2. To Close: • Place finger as shown in Figure 3. • Slide door closed and press down firmly until it clicks. To Open: • To open the cover, push the button as shown in Figure 4. • Cover will slide open.

Note: The dishwasher indicates low rinse aid by turning on the "Refill Rinse Aid" or "Add Rinse Aid" LED in the display. If this light is on, you need to refill the rinse aid dispenser by following the directions below. Adding Rinse Aid Add liquid rinse aid to the dispenser until the reservoir is full (see Figure 5). Wipe up any excess rinse aid that may puddle when the dispenser reservoir is full. The indicator light will go out a few moments after the dishwasher door is shut. See page 9 for how to adjust the amount of rinse aid dispensed. Figure 2 3 Tbsp. Max. 2 Tbsp. (25ml) 1 Tbsp. (15ml) Figure 3 Figure 4 Figure 5 6
