Frequently Asked Questions (10)
How do I cancel or reset a cycle on the Bosch dishwasher?
To cancel a cycle, open the dishwasher door just far enough to expose the control panel, then press and hold the two Cancel/Reset buttons for 3 seconds. Close the door and wait approximately 1 minute until the dishwasher completes draining. Then open the door and press the On/Off button to start a new cycle. Be careful of hot water that may splash out when opening the door during a cycle. (Page 15)
What wash cycles are available and how long do they take?
The dishwasher offers five wash cycles: Heavy Wash (135 min), Auto Wash (95–119 min), Normal Wash (115 min), Express Wash (30 min), and Half Load (99 min). Cycle times are based on a 120°F water supply and may vary due to soil levels and incoming water temperature, as the Smart Control sensors automatically adjust cycle length. Adding the Sanitize option extends some cycle times. (Page 14)
How much detergent should I use in my Bosch dishwasher?
For soft water, 1 tablespoon (15ml) of detergent will clean most loads, while hard water or heavy soil may require up to 3 tablespoons (45ml). The detergent dispenser cup has measurement lines at 1 tablespoon (15ml) and 1.75 tablespoons (25ml) to help guide you. Never use more than 3 tablespoons and avoid using hand dishwashing products, as they can damage the dishwasher. (Page 12)
Why are my dishes not getting dry enough?
The most common causes of poor drying are an empty rinse aid dispenser, improper loading that causes items to nest together, or selecting a cycle that does not include drying (such as Rinse and Hold). Always use a liquid rinse aid even if your detergent contains a drying additive, as it significantly improves drying results. Note that plastic and Teflon items typically do not dry as well as other materials due to their inherent properties. (Page 18)
How do I clean and maintain the dishwasher's filter system?
The filter system consists of a Large Object Trap/Cylinder Filter assembly, a Fine Filter, and a Micro Filter, located under the lower rack. To clean, remove the bottom rack, grasp and turn the Large Object Trap assembly counterclockwise to lift it out, then remove the Micro Filter and flush both the Micro Filter and Fine Filter under running water. To reinstall, return the Micro Filter first, then place the Large Object Trap/Cylinder Filter assembly back and turn it clockwise until locked, ensuring the arrows on the ring handle and Fine Filter point at each other.

What should I do if my dishwasher is not filling with water?
Check that the water supply valve (typically located under the kitchen sink) is open and that the water supply line has no kinks or clogs. Also verify that a previous wash cycle was completed, that Delay Start is not active, and that the household water supply has not been turned off. If the previous cycle was not completed, refer to the operating section of the manual. (Page 19)
How do I use the Delay Start feature?
To use Delay Start, open the door and press the On/Off button, then select a wash cycle. Press and hold the Delay Start button, releasing it when the desired delay time appears in the display window, then close the door to begin the countdown. The Delay Start option allows you to delay the start time by up to 19 hours. (Page 15)
What items are NOT safe to wash 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 items such as wooden bowls or utensils with wooden handles. The dishwasher is intended only for standard household dishware and kitchenware, so paper products, plastic bags, and packing materials should never be loaded. (Page 6)
What does the warranty cover on the Bosch dishwasher?
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 a 5-year warranty on electronics and dish racks, and a lifetime warranty against stainless steel rust-through on the inner liner and door. The warranty is void if repairs are performed by unauthorized service personnel and does not cover damage from freezing, misuse, or improper installation. (Page 21)
How do I safely load knives and sharp utensils in the dishwasher?
Knives and other sharp utensils should be loaded with their handles UP in the silverware basket to reduce the risk of cut-type injuries. Sharp items should also be positioned so they are not likely to damage the door seal. Do not allow children to handle or play near knives and sharp utensils, and be cautious when reaching into the large object trap, as it may contain sharp objects. (Page 5, 8)
