Frequently Asked Questions (10)
How do I start a wash cycle on my Bosch Ascenta dishwasher?
Open the door and press the On/Off button, then select your desired wash cycle using the Cycle Select arrow buttons. Press Start and close the door to begin the cycle. Make sure the door is properly latched for the dishwasher to operate. (Page 13)
How do I cancel a cycle that is already running?
Open the dishwasher door just far enough to expose the control panel, being careful of hot water that may splash out. Press and hold the Start button until the 'Active' LED goes out, then close the door and wait about 1 minute until the unit beeps, indicating it is done draining. After that, open the door and press the On/Off button to start a new cycle. (Page 13)
How much detergent should I use in my Bosch dishwasher?
The amount of detergent depends on your water hardness and soil level — for example, 1 tablespoon (15ml) will clean most loads with soft water, while hard water with heavy soil may require up to 3 tablespoons (45ml). Never use more than 3 tablespoons (45ml) and do not overfill the detergent dispenser. If you are unsure of your water hardness, start with 15ml and increase as needed. (Page 10)
Why are my dishes not getting dry enough?
The most common causes are an empty rinse aid dispenser, improper loading of dishes, a selected cycle that does not include drying, or the Extra Dry Heat feature not being activated. Adding rinse aid and rearranging dishes so items are not nesting can improve drying results. Note that plastic and Teflon items typically do not dry as well as other materials due to their inherent properties. (Page 16)
How do I clean the filter system in my Bosch dishwasher?
Remove the bottom rack, then grasp the Large Object Trap assembly and turn it counterclockwise to lift it out. Tap it gently on a flat surface to dislodge debris, and flush the Micro Filter under running water. To reinstall, return the fine filter to position and turn the locking nut clockwise until locked, ensuring the arrows on the ring handle and fine filter point toward each other. (Page 14)

Which wash cycles support the Sanitize option?
The Sanitize feature is available only with the Heavy Wash, Auto Wash, Normal Wash, and Half Load cycles. It is not available for use with the Delicate Wash or Express Wash cycles. When sanitization requirements are met, the sanitize LED will illuminate. (Page 12)
What should I do if my dishwasher won't start?
Check that the door is completely latched, the unit is turned on, and the water supply valve is open. Also verify that a cycle has been selected before closing the door, no delay start is engaged, and the circuit breaker has not tripped. If a previous cycle was not completed, refer to the 'cancelling or changing cycle' section to reset the unit. (Page 16)
How do I adjust the amount of rinse aid dispensed?
Enter options mode by holding the > button, then pressing and releasing the Start button, then releasing > — the 'Clean' LED and 'Refill Rinse Aid' LED will flash. Press the < button to cycle through settings: 0 LEDs flashing means rinse aid is OFF, 1 LED is the lowest amount, 2 LEDs is medium, and 3 LEDs is the highest amount. Press Start to save your setting.

What items should NOT be washed in the Bosch dishwasher?
Items not recommended for dishwasher use include acrylic, adhesive-joined pieces, bone-handled utensils, iron, pewter, brass, bronze, tin, and wood. These materials can rust, tarnish, crack, warp, or have adhesives loosen during the wash cycle. The dishwasher is intended only for standard household dishware and kitchenware. (Page 5)
What does the Bosch dishwasher warranty cover and for how long?
The basic warranty covers defects in materials and workmanship for 365 days from the date of purchase, including labor and shipping costs. Extended limited warranties include 5 years on electronics and dish racks, and a lifetime warranty against stainless steel rust-through on the inner liner and door. The warranty applies only to the first purchaser and is non-transferable, and it becomes void if repairs are performed by unauthorized personnel. (Page 19)
