Frequently Asked Questions (10)
What should I do if the dishwasher is not starting?
Check that the door is properly latched and the unit is turned on. Also verify that the water supply is turned on, no delay start is engaged, child lock is not activated, and that a cycle has been selected before closing the door. If a previous cycle was not completed, reset the unit by referring to the 'Canceling or changing the cycle' section of the manual. (Page 23)
How do I cancel or reset a wash cycle on the Bosch dishwasher?
To cancel or change a cycle, open the dishwasher door far enough to expose the control buttons, then press and hold the 'Cancel/Reset' buttons for 3 seconds. Close the door and wait until the dishwasher completes the drain cycle (approximately 1 minute), then open the door and press the ON/OFF button to begin a new cycle. (Page 17)
How much detergent should I use in the Bosch dishwasher?
With soft water, 1 tablespoon (15ml) of detergent will clean most loads. The detergent dispenser cup has measuring lines at 1 tablespoon (15ml) and 1.75 tablespoons (25ml), and the maximum fill is 3 tablespoons (45ml). If you do not know your water hardness, start with 15ml and increase only if needed. (Page 15)
How do I clean the filter system in my Bosch dishwasher?
Remove the bottom rack, then grasp the Large Object Trap/Cylinder Filter Assembly and turn it counterclockwise one-quarter turn to lift it out. Flush the Cylinder Filter under running water, and also lift out and flush the Fine Filter and Micro Filter (on select models) under running water. Do not reach into the large object trap with your fingers as it may contain sharp objects. (Page 22)
Why are my dishes not getting dry enough?
The most common cause is an empty rinse agent dispenser — always use a liquid rinse agent even if your detergent contains a drying additive. Improper loading where items are nested can also prevent drying, and note that the Rinse & Hold cycle does not include a drying phase. Select models offer an Extra Dry Heat option to improve drying performance. (Page 24)

(Page 27)
How do I use the Delay Start option on the Bosch dishwasher?
Turn the dishwasher on and select your desired wash cycle, then press and hold the Delay Start button and release it when the desired delay time appears in the display window. The dishwasher will automatically start after the set delay period. (Page 18)
What items should NOT be washed in the Bosch dishwasher?
Items not recommended for dishwasher use include acrylic (which may crack), adhesive-joined pieces, bone-handled utensils, iron, pewter, brass, bronze, tin, and wooden items such as bowls and utensils with wooden handles. Non-dishware items and plastics not marked 'dishwasher safe' should also be hand washed. (Page 7)
What should I do if there is a bad odor coming from the dishwasher?
Remove and clean the filters according to the 'Check/Clean the Filter System' section, and clean the door gasket and door seal with a damp cloth to remove food particles. If odor persists, run a Normal/Regular cycle, interrupt it, place an 8 oz. cup of distilled white vinegar on the top rack, and finish the cycle. Also run a Rinse & Hold cycle if dishes will sit in the dishwasher before being washed. (Page 24)
