Frequently Asked Questions (10)
What should I do if my dishes are not drying properly?
The rinse agent dispenser may be empty — check it and refill if necessary. Drying can also be accelerated by opening the dishwasher door slightly and propping it open with the top rack. Always use a liquid rinse agent even if your detergent already contains a rinse agent or drying additive. (Page 17)
How do I select a wash cycle on this Bosch dishwasher?
Press the ON/OFF button to turn the dishwasher on, and the display will show the default cycle 'Auto Wash.' To select a different cycle, press + or – until the display shows the desired wash cycle. Make sure you have already added detergent and rinse aid before starting. (Page 11)
How do I clean the filter system on my Bosch dishwasher?
Remove the bottom rack, then grasp the Large Object Trap/Cylinder Filter Assembly, turn it counter-clockwise 1/4 turn, and lift it out. Flush the Cylinder Filter under running water, and also lift out and flush the Fine Filter and Micro Filter under running water. To reinstall, place the Fine Filter back first, then lock the assembly by turning it clockwise 1/4 turn until the arrows on the ring handle and Fine Filter point toward each other. (Page 15)
How do I use the Delay Start option to postpone a wash cycle?
Access the Delay Start option through the Options Step Down Menu by pressing the MENU/OK button until it appears in the display. This option allows you to delay the start of the selected cycle for up to 24 hours in 30-minute increments. Press MENU/OK to save the setting, then press START and close the door. (Page 12)
How much detergent should I use in this dishwasher?
With soft water, 1 tablespoon (15ml) of detergent will clean most loads. For hard water and cycles like Auto Plus or Regular Wash, up to 45ml (3 tablespoons) may be needed — the detergent dispenser cup has measuring lines at 15ml and 25ml, with a maximum fill of 45ml. Using too much detergent with soft water may cause etching on glassware. (Page 10)

What does the 'Sanitized' indicator light mean?
When the 'Sanitized' light appears on the control panel, it means the dishware and kitchenware just washed have been sanitized according to the requirements of the National Sanitation Foundation (NSF). Note that if your household water supply is too hot, the heating time may be reduced and the 'Sanitized' light may not illuminate. More information on NSF certification is available at http://www.nsfconsumer.org/home/appliances.asp. (Page 12)
Why is there standing water left in my dishwasher after a cycle?
Check that the drain hose is not kinked, clogged, or improperly installed, and ensure a portion of the drain hose is at least 20 inches above the dishwasher's enclosure floor. Also check that the filter system is not clogged by inspecting and cleaning the filters. Additionally, the kitchen sink drain may be clogged, or if an air gap is installed at the sink, it may need to be cleared. (Page 17)
What items should NOT be washed in this dishwasher?
Items not recommended for dishwasher use include acrylic (which may crack), adhesive-joined pieces, bone-handled utensils, iron, tin, pewter, brass, bronze, and wood items such as bowls, utensils, and wood-handled items. The dishwasher is intended only for standard household dishware and kitchenware. When in doubt, contact the item's manufacturer to confirm dishwasher suitability. (Page 5)
What is the warranty coverage on this Bosch dishwasher?
Bosch provides a 1-year basic limited warranty covering defects in materials and workmanship, including labor and shipping costs. Extended warranties include a 2-year limited warranty on components (excluding labor), a 5-year limited warranty on electronics and dish racks, and a lifetime warranty against stainless steel rust-through on the inner liner and door. These warranties apply only to the first purchaser and are not transferable. (Page 18)
How do I select or change the display language on my dishwasher?
The first time you turn on the dishwasher, the language selection screen will automatically appear. The available languages are AE (American English), CF (Canadian French), and MS (Mexican Spanish) — press + or – until the desired language flashes, then press MENU/OK to save. To change the language later, access the Display Language option through the Options Step Down Menu. (Page 11)
