Dishwasher detergent question

Our new GE Profile dishwasher with an SS interior and smart dispense says never to use enzyme and chlorine detergents at the same time because it causes congealing and clogging?? Is that right? I'm going by memory. And we had been using Cascade powder to plenty satisfaction but then they took out the phosphates and that didn't work out so well. White film on all the dishes. SO I thought why not try the smart dispense. I bought Electosol Finish liquid, lemon flavour. I assume it still has the phosphates because it doesn't say phosphate free and the other flavour they had in the store did say it. The next day arriving home from work I found out a couple of loads had been done with it. I told her I didn't want to start using it just yet because I had not set the water hardness setting and I also had the low detergent light disabled. But since it had been done I let it go. But she misinterpreted me and thought I was telling her that the smart dispense function was disabled and she had hence been washing with no detergent at all, so she did a couple of loads unbeknownst to me with cascade powder in the cup, before I found out and set things straight. The only issue is those couple of loads used both detergents together and I have no way to tell if one is enzyme and one is chlorine. So my question is: Is Cascade powder chlorine or enzyme and is Finish chlorine or enzyme?

Oh and what to do if this unwanted mixture does take place in the dishwasher?
