[LG Dios dishwasher] I want to know what should be noted when I use a detergent.

Troubleshooting

Do you want to know exactly how to use a dedicated detergent for your dishwasher?

The dishwasher sprays water strongly to remove any food left on the dishes.
At this time, you need to add detergent in the correct way to avoid bubbles or stains being left on the dishes.

Try this

Before you add detergent, wipe any water from the detergent dispenser and your hands.

When washing begins, the detergent dispenser lid automatically opens and the detergent falls to the bottom of the tub and dissolves in the water.
If, however, any water is left around the detergent dispenser or if you put the detergent in with wet hands, the detergent sticks to the detergent dispenser because of the water even though the lid opens.
Before you add the detergent, wipe off any water left in the detergent dispenser and your hands using a dry cloth.


Invalid example: Detergent injection with wet hands, Correct example: Remove water from detergent container

Push the lid of the detergent dispenser until it clicks into place.

If the lid of the detergent dispenser is not properly closed after you add the detergent, the detergent might leak even before you start washing.
After you add the detergent, make sure that you push the lid of the detergent dispenser until it clicks into place.


Add detergent and close the lid until it clicks.

Use the recommended amount of dedicated detergent for your dishwasher.

Use of a general kitchen detergent may create lots of bubbles and thus degrade the effect of washing and lead to water leaking.
Make sure that only a dedicated detergent for your dishwasher is added to the detergent dispenser.
Depending on the types of detergent and the manufacturer, detergents may differ in dissolving speed, washing and/or drying performance.
Purchase the correct detergent for your machine after you have carefully checked detergent information and reviews on the Internet.
Using less than the required quantity of detergent may lower the washing effect, while using more, may leave bubbles on the dishes.
Use the quantity of detergent recommended by the manufacturer, considering the amount and the degree of contamination of your dishes.


Types of solid, powder and liquid detergent
Wait! Here are more tips
If bubbles are left on your dishes though you used a dedicated detergent, reduce the amount of the detergent next time you wash.
Selecting both the High Temperature Dry and the Safe Rinse may also reduce bubbles.
