Or it is treated by the same algorithm like all the other cleaning powders, which is: "mix with water then spray through nozzles". Strangly enough, this has worked great for decades without firmware updates. For the longest time it even worked without firmware.

Mine has a little compartment where I put in a block of pressed powder (a "tab") and then close it.

If I want more, I put in 2 tabs.

If I want none, I put in no tab.

If I want my dishes to smell like soup, I put in a buillon cube. (Not recommended by whoever built the Dishwasher)
