Frequently Asked Questions (10)
How do I cancel or reset a cycle on my Bosch dishwasher?
Press and hold the two Cancel/Reset buttons for 3 seconds to cancel a cycle. Wait about 1 minute while the dishwasher drains, then press the On/Off button to start a new cycle if desired. (Page 14)
How do I activate the Child Lock feature to prevent accidental program changes?
Press and hold the button labeled 'Child Lock' for 4 seconds to activate or deactivate the child lock feature. This disables the dishwasher control panel to prevent accidental program changes. (Page 14)
How much detergent should I use in my Bosch dishwasher?
With soft water, 1 tablespoon (15ml) of detergent will clean most loads. Do not use more than 3 tablespoons (45ml), and refer to Table 1 in the manual for specific recommendations based on water hardness and wash cycle selected. (Page 11)
Why are my dishes not drying properly?
The most common causes are an empty rinse aid dispenser, improper loading where items are nesting together, or selecting a cycle that does not include drying (such as Rinse & Hold). Add rinse aid and rearrange the load to ensure water spray can reach all items. Note that plastic and Teflon items typically do not dry as well as other materials. (Page 17)
Why does my dishwasher seem to run for a very long time?
The cycle time can vary because sensors automatically increase cycle length when heavy soil is detected or when incoming water is not warm enough. Other causes include an empty rinse agent dispenser or the dishwasher being connected to a cold water supply. Run the hot water faucet at the nearest sink before starting a cycle to help. (Page 17)

How do I clean and maintain the dishwasher's filter system?
Remove the bottom rack and grasp the Large Object Trap/Cylinder Filter assembly, turning it counterclockwise to lift it out. Remove the Micro Filter and flush both the Micro Filter and Fine Filter under running water. To reinstall, return the Micro Filter first, then the Large Object Trap/Cylinder Filter assembly, turning the locking nut clockwise until locked with the arrows pointing at each other. (Pages 15-16)
What items should NOT be washed in the dishwasher?
Items not recommended for the dishwasher include acrylic, adhesive-joined pieces, bone-handled utensils, iron, pewter, brass, bronze, tin, and wood. These materials can crack, rust, tarnish, warp, or lose their finish when exposed to dishwasher conditions. (Page 5)
How do I use the Delay Start option on my dishwasher?
Press the On/Off button, select a cycle, then press and hold the 'Delay Start' button, releasing it when the desired delay time appears in the display window. The cycle will then begin automatically after the selected delay period. (Page 14)
What should I do if my dishwasher is leaking water?
Common causes of leaks include using the wrong type of detergent (which causes suds), a door seal pulled away from its track, a blocked condensation vent, or improper installation. If suds are causing the leak, add one tablespoon of vegetable oil to the bottom of the dishwasher and run the desired cycle; also ensure the door seal is properly seated in its track. (Page 18)
What safety precautions should I follow before using the dishwasher if the hot water system has been unused for two weeks or more?
If the hot water system has been unused for two weeks or longer, turn on all hot water faucets and let the water flow for several minutes before starting the dishwasher. This releases any accumulated hydrogen gas, which is explosive — do not smoke or use an open flame during this process. (Page 3)
