Rinse Aid

To achieve proper drying, always use a liquid rinse aid, even if your detergent contains a rinse aid or drying additive.

Note: The dishwasher indicates low rinse aid by turning on the Rinse Aid indicator on the display. If this indicator lights up, you need to refill the rinse aid dispenser by following the directions below.

Adding rinse aid

Notice To avoid oversudsing or clogging, do not overfill the rinse aid dispenser. Wipe up any spills with a damp cloth.

The indicator light will go out a few moments after the dishwasher door is shut.

Notice Do not fill the rinse aid dispenser with detergent. Doing so will damage the dishwasher.

Setting the amount of rinse aid used

The amount of rinse aid dispensed can be adjusted. You should only change the setting if streaks remain on the dishes (lower the amount), or if dishes are not getting dry enough (increase the amount).

Loading the Dishwasher

Loading the Dishwasher Dishware material Note: Before using your dishwasher for the first time, check the information in this section. Some items are not dishwasher-safe and should be hand washed; others require special loading.

Medium setting Medium/high setting High setting Highest setting

Setting | Amount Recommended ---|--- Aluminum | Colored anodized aluminum may fade over time. Minerals in your water may cause the aluminum to darken or spot. This can usually be removed with a soap-filled steel wool pad. China, Crystal, Stoneware | Some hand-painted utensils may discolor, fade or spot. Hand wash these utensils. Position fragile glassware so that it will not topple over or come in contact with other utensils during the wash cycle. Glass | Milk glass may discolor or become yellow. Non-stick Coatings | Apply a light coating of vegetable oil to non-stick surfaces after drying. Plastics | Make sure the plasticware is dishwasher-safe. Stainless Steel, Sterling Silver and Silver Plates | Load these so they do not come in contact with other metals, stainless steel dishwasher tub walls or the inner door.

Loading the Dishwasher

Loading the racks For best dishwashing results, observe the following when loading the dishwasher: ■ Do not pre-wash items with loosely attached food soil. ■ Remove all food particles, bones, toothpicks and excessive grease. ■ Pre-treat items having burned-on, baked-on or starchy soils. ■ Load dishes in the dishwasher racks so the insides of bowls, pots and pans are facing the spray arms. ■ Avoid nesting and contact points between dishes. ■ Separate items of dissimilar metals. Use care to not block movement of the spray arms. ■ Only wash household dishware and kitchenware rated as dishwasher-safe. Refer to the Dishware Materials section for more information about dishware suitability.

Notice To avoid dishwasher damage, do not load the dishwasher with paper products, plastic bags, packing materials or anything other than normal, dishwasher safe dishware and kitchenware.

Loading the upper rack Ensure items do not protrude through the bottom of the racks and block the spray arms. Note: When pushing the upper rack into the dishwasher, push it until it stops against the back of the tub so the upper rack spray arm connects to the water supply at the back of the tub. Do not push racks in using the door.

Detergent

Use only detergent specifically designed for dishwashers. For best results, use fresh powdered dishwashing detergent or detergent tabs.

Notice

To avoid dishwasher damage: ■ Do not use hand dishwashing products in your dishwasher. ■ Do not use too much detergent if your water is soft. Using too much detergent with soft water may cause etching in glassware and fine china.

This dishwasher uses less water than most, therefore, less detergent is required. With soft water, 1 tablespoon (15 ml) of detergent will clean most loads. The detergent dispenser cup has lines that measure detergent to 1 tablespoon (15 ml) and 1.75 tablespoons (25 ml). 3 tablespoons (45 ml) of detergent will completely fill the detergent dispenser.

Note: If you do not know the hardness of your water supply, use 15 ml of detergent. Increase the amount if necessary to the least amount required to get your kitchenware clean.

Use the measuring lines in the detergent dispenser cup as a guide to measure the amount of detergent recommended in the following table.

| Wash Cycle | Hard Water/Heavy Soil | Medium Water/Medium Soil | Soft Water/Little Soil | |---|---|---|---| | Heavy | 3 tbsp (45 ml) | 3 tbsp (45 ml) | 1.75 - 3 tbsp (25 - 45 ml) | | Auto | 1.75 - 3 tbsp (25 - 45 ml) | 1.75 tbsp (25 ml) | 1 - 1.75 tbsp (15 - 25 ml) | | Eco | 1.75 - 3 tbsp (25 - 45 ml) | 1 - 1.75 tbsp (15 - 25 ml) | 1 tbsp (15 ml) | | Normal | 1.75 - 3 tbsp (25 - 45 ml) | 1.75 tbsp (25 ml) | 1 - 1.75 tbsp (15 - 25 ml) | | Express | 1.75 tbsp (25 ml) | 1 - 1.75 tbsp (15 - 25 ml) | 1 tbsp (15 ml) | | Rinse | none | none | none |

Adding detergent

Tip: If the utensils are only lightly soiled, slightly less than the indicated amount of detergent is usually adequate.

Dishwasher Cycles

Dishwasher Cycles

Note: The Energy Guide label was based on the Normal soil sensing cycle as follows: The unit was tested without any rinse aid (liquid) in the rinse aid dispenser 9*. A single dose of detergent was inserted into the detergent dispenser 92, with no detergent being used in the prewash. The unit was not subjected to truncated testing per the definitions in the test procedure. We recommend that dish loads such as the one in the energy certification test have the rack position set in the highest position.

Dishwasher Cycle Options

Dishwasher Cycle Options * Depending on the features of your dishwasher you can select various wash cycle options H.

Delay

Allows you to delay the start time of your dishwasher up to 24 hours.

SpeedPerfect™*

SpeedPerfect™ is an option that allows saving time without sacrificing wash and dry performance. Selecting this option ensures the same final temperatures as the underlying cycle by starting the heat period at an earlier phase in the program. Selecting this option also increases energy consumption while reducing cycle time.

Half Load*

Can reduce water consumption when washing small, lightly soiled loads that fill approximately half of the dishwasher's capacity.

Delicate

This option's reduced time and temperature are best for lightly soiled items with easy to remove food soils. The option also reduces the likelihood of cloudy glasses. Rinse aid is recommended for the high gloss drying function (even when using combination detergents).

Sanitize

This function increases the temperatures and retains them for an extra long time to obtain a defined disinfecting performance. Continuous use of this function increases the hygiene status. This additional option is ideal for cleaning items such as chopping boards and baby bottles. The sanitize LED will light when sanitation requirements are met. Using the Sanitize option may also improve drying.

Extra Shine®*

Used in combination with a wash cycle (except Rinse), the Extra Shine® option raises the temperature and extends the drying time to further enhance drying results and provide a brilliant shine.

Dishwasher Cycle Options 28 Wash Cycle Information To save energy, this dishwasher has EcoSense where the sensors in the dishwasher automatically adjust the cycle length, temperature and water changes based on the amount of food soil and the incoming water temperature. The "Smart Control" makes decisions that can cause the cycle time and water usage to adjust intermittently. Wash cycle times are based on 120°F (49° C) water supply. If your household water supply is different than 120°F (49° C), your dishwasher's cycle times may be impacted.

Food debris is present at the bottom of the dishwasher. Remove the filters and clean them. ~ "Care and Maintenance" on page 34

Food particles are present near the door seal. ~ "Care and Maintenance" on page 34

Residual water is present at the bottom of the dishwasher. Ensure the dishwasher has completely drained from the last cycle.

Drain hose is obstructed. Remove any obstructions from the drain hose by calling qualified personnel.

Note: If odor still persists, run the Normal/Regular cycle until it flushes and interrupt the cycle and place an 8 oz. cup of distilled white vinegar solution on the upper rack and then finish the cycle.

Dishwasher not filling with water or "Check water supply" display lights up

Restriction in the water supply system. Ensure that the water supply valve (typically located under kitchen sink) is open and check that the water supply line has no kinks or clogs.

Previous wash cycle was not completed. ~ "Operating the Dishwasher" on page 30

Delay start is active. Cancel the delay start or wait until delay start time completes.

Household water supply turned off. Turn on water supply.

Fascia panel discolored or marked

Abrasive cleaner used. Use mild detergents with soft damp cloth.

Noise during wash cycle

Dishes may not be arranged properly. Water circulation sound is normal, but if you suspect items are banging into each other or into the spray arms, check optimal arrangement of dishes. ~ "Loading the Dishwasher" on page 13

Water leaks

Suds. Using wrong type of detergent or overfilling the rinse aid dispenser results in suds and leaks - use only dishwasher detergents. If suds still persist, add one tablespoon of vegetable oil at the bottom of the dishwasher and run the desired cycle.

Door seal could be pulled away from track. Ensure the door seal is in the track.

Condensation vent is blocked. Ensure that condensation vent is not blocked.

Improper installation. Have proper installation verified by qualified personnel (water supply, drain system, leveling, plumbing).

Troubleshooting 41 -------- Tub stains Stains on the dishwasher interior are due to water hardness. Concentrated lemon juice can reduce the build-up of hard water stains. Run Normal/Regular cycle until it flushes and interrupt the cycle and then place an 8 oz. cup of the concentrated lemon solution on the upper rack and finish the cycle. This can be done periodically to avoid build-up. Silverware in contact with tub. Ensure that silverware does not make contact with the tub while running a cycle. Detergent dispenser cover will not shut Improper operation of detergent cover.

Customer Service 42 4 Customer Service Customer Service Your Bosch® dishwasher requires no special care other than that described in the Care and Maintenance section of this manual. If you are having a problem with your dishwasher, before calling for service please refer to the Troubleshooting Guide section of the manual. If service is necessary, contact your dealer or installer or an authorized service center. Do not attempt to repair the appliance yourself. Any work performed by unauthorized personnel may void the warranty. If you are having a problem with your Bosch® dishwasher and are not pleased with the service you have received, please take the following steps until the problem is corrected to your satisfaction:

Statement of Limited Product Warranty

‡ Statement of Limited Product Warranty

Statement of Limited Product Warranty What this Warranty Covers & Who it Applies to:

The limited warranty provided by BSH Home Appliances Corporation (BSH) in this Statement of Limited Product Warranty applies only to Bosch® dishwashers ("Product") sold to you, the first using purchaser, provided that the Product was purchased:

■ for your normal, household (non-commercial) use, and has in fact at all times only been used for normal household purposes;

■ new at retail (not a display, "as is", or previously returned model), and not for resale, or commercial use; and

■ within the United States or Canada, and has at all times remained within the country of original purchase. The warranties stated herein apply only to the first purchaser of the Product and are not transferable.

Please make sure to return your registration card; while not necessary to effectuate warranty coverage, it is the best way for BSH to notify you in the unlikely event of a safety notice or product recall.

How Long the Warranty Lasts

BSH warrants that the Product is free from defects in materials and workmanship for a period of three hundred sixty five (365) days from the date of purchase. The foregoing timeline begins to run upon the date of purchase, and shall not be stalled, tolled, extended, or suspended, for any reason whatsoever.

This Product is also warranted to be free from cosmetic defects in material and workmanship (such as scratches of stainless steel, paint/porcelain blemishes, chip, dents, or other damage to the finish of the Product), for a period of thirty (30) days from the date of purchase or closing date for new construction.

This cosmetic warranty excludes slight color variations due to inherent differences in painted and porcelain parts, as well as differences caused by kitchen lighting, product location, or other similar factors. This cosmetic warranty specifically excludes any display, floor, "As Is", or "B" stock appliances.

Extended Limited Warranty

BSH also provides these additional limited warranties:

■ 5 year limited warranty on electronics: BSH will repair or replace any BSH microprocessor or printed circuit board if it proves to be defective in materials or workmanship (excludes labor charges).

■ 5 year limited warranty on dish racks: BSH will replace the upper or lower dish rack (excluding rack components), if the rack proves defective in materials or workmanship (excludes labor charges).

■ Lifetime warranty against stainless steel rust through: BSH will repair or replace your dishwasher with the same model or a current model that is substantially equivalent or better in functionality, if the inner liner should rust through (excludes labor charges).

■ BSH will repair or replace the stainless steel door if the door should rust through (excludes labor charges).

Statement of Limited Product Warranty 44

Repair/Replace as Your Exclusive Remedy During this warranty period, BSH or one of its authorized service providers will repair your Product without charge to you (subject to certain limitations stated herein) if your Product proves to have been manufactured with a defect in materials or workmanship. If reasonable attempts to repair the Product have been made without success, then BSH will replace your Product (upgraded models may be available to you, in the sole discretion of BSH, for an additional charge). All removed parts and components shall become the property of BSH at its sole option. All replaced and/or repaired parts shall assume the identity of the original part for purposes of this warranty and this warranty shall not be extended with respect to such parts. BSH's sole liability and responsibility hereunder is to repair manufacturer-defective Product only, using a BSH-authorized service provider during normal business hours. For safety and property damage concerns, BSH highly recommends that you do not attempt to repair the Product yourself, or use an unauthorized servicer; BSH will have no responsibility or liability for repairs or work performed by a non-authorized servicer. If you choose to have someone other than an authorized service provider work on your Product, THIS WARRANTY WILL AUTOMATICALLY BECOME NULL AND VOID. Authorized service providers are those persons or companies that have been specially trained on BSH products, and who possess, in the opinion of BSH, a superior reputation for customer service and technical ability (note that they are independent entities and are not agents, partners, affiliates or representatives of BSH). Notwithstanding the foregoing, BSH will not incur any liability, or have responsibility, for the Product if it is located in a remote area (more than 100 miles from an authorized service provider) or is reasonably inaccessible, hazardous, threatening, or treacherous locale, surroundings, or environment; in any such event, if you request, BSH would still pay for labor and parts and ship the parts to the nearest authorized service provider, but you would still be fully liable and responsible for any travel time or other special charges by the service company, assuming they agree to make the service call.

Out of Warranty Product BSH is under no obligation, at law or otherwise, to provide you with any concessions, including repairs, pro-rates, or Product replacement, once this warranty has expired.

Warranty Exclusions The warranty coverage described herein excludes all defects or damage that are not the direct fault of BSH, including without limitation, one or more of the following: ■ Use of the Product in anything other than its normal, customary and intended manner (including without limitation, any form of commercial use, use or storage of an indoor product outdoors, use of the Product in conjunction with air or water-going vessels);

Also excluded from this warranty are Products on which the serial numbers have been altered, defaced, or removed; service visits to teach you how to use the Product, or visits where there is nothing wrong with the Product; correction of installation problems (you are solely responsible for any structure and setting for the Product, including all electrical, plumbing or other connecting facilities, for proper foundation/flooring, and for any alterations including without limitation cabinetry, walls, floors, shelving, etc.); and resetting of breakers or fuses.

To The Extent Allowed By Law, This Warranty Sets Out Your Exclusive Remedies With Respect To Product, Whether The Claim Arises In Contract Or Tort (Including Strict Liability, Or Negligence) Or Otherwise. This Warranty Is In Lieu Of All Other Warranties, Whether Express Or Implied. Any Warranty Implied By Law, Whether For Merchantability Or Fitness For A Particular Purpose, Or Otherwise, Shall Be Effective Only For The Period That This Express Limited Warranty Is Effective. In No Event Will The Manufacturer Be Liable For Consequential, Special, Incidental, Indirect, "Business Loss", And/Or Punitive Damages, Losses, Or Expenses, Including Without Limitation Time Away From Work, Hotels And/Or Restaurant Meals, Remodelling Expenses In Excess Of Direct Damages Which Are Definitively Caused Exclusively By BSH, Or Otherwise. Some States Do Not Allow The Exclusion Or Limitation Of Incidental Or Consequential Damages, And Some States Do Not Allow Limitations On How Long An Implied Warranty Lasts, So The Above Limitations May Not Apply To You. This Warranty Gives You Specific Legal Rights, And You May Also Have Other Rights Which Vary From State To State. No attempt to alter, modify or amend this warranty

Dishwasher-Safe Materials

Note: Before first use of your dishwasher, review the information in this section. Some items cannot be washed in the dishwasher and must be hand-washed; others must be loaded in a special way.

Aluminum

Anodized and colored aluminum may fade over time. Minerals in the water may dull or stain aluminum. Generally, these are removed using a steel wool pad dampened with soap.

China, Crystal, Stoneware

Some hand-painted utensils may fade or stain. Hand-wash these utensils. Position fragile glassware so it does not tip or contact other utensils during the wash cycle.

Glass

Milk glass may fade or yellow.

Non-Stick Coatings

Apply a light coating of vegetable oil to non-stick surfaces after drying.

Loading the Dishwasher

Loading the Baskets

For best results, follow these instructions when loading dishes:

■ Items with light food residue buildup do not need to be pre-washed. ■ Remove all food particles, bones, toothpicks, and excess grease. ■ Pre-wash items soiled by burnt, baked, or starchy materials. ■ Load dishes in the dishwasher baskets so that the inner walls of bowls, pots, and pans face the spray arms. ■ Avoid nesting and contact points between dishes. ■ Separate items made of different metals. Be careful not to block the spray arms. ■ Wash only dishes and kitchen items marked as dishwasher safe. See the Dishwasher Safe Materials section for more information on suitable dishes.

Notice

To avoid damaging the dishwasher, do not load paper items, plastic bags, packaging materials, or anything other than standard dishwasher-safe dishes and kitchen utensils.

Detergent

71

Detergent

Use only detergent specially designed for dishwashers. For best results, use powder dishwasher detergent or detergent tablets.

Notice

To prevent damaging the dishwasher:

■ Avoid using hand dishwashing detergents in your dishwasher. ■ Do not use too much detergent if the water used is soft. Using excessive detergent with soft water can scratch glassware and fine china.

This dishwasher requires less water than others, and therefore, less detergent. With cold water, 1 tablespoon (15 ml) of detergent will be sufficient for cleaning. The detergent dispenser has graduation marks corresponding to 1 tablespoon (15 ml) and 1.75 tablespoons (25 ml). 3 tablespoons (45 ml) of detergent will fill the detergent dispenser completely.

Note: If you are unsure of your water hardness, use 15 ml of detergent. If necessary, add the minimum amount needed for spotless cleaning of your dishes.

Use the reference lines of the detergent dispenser as an aid in measuring the recommended amount of detergent in the following table.

| Cleaning Cycle | Hard Water/Heavy Soiling | Medium Water Hardness/Medium Soiling | Soft Water/Light Soiling | |---|---|---|---| | Very Dirty | 3 tbsp (45 ml) | 3 tbsp (45 ml) | 1.75 to 3 tbsp (25 to 45 ml) | | Auto | 1.75 to 3 tbsp (25 to 45 ml) | 1.75 tbsp (25 ml) | 1 to 1.75 tbsp (15 to 25 ml) | | Eco | 1.75 to 3 tbsp (25 to 45 ml) | 1 to 1.75 tbsp (15 to 25 ml) | 1 tbsp (15 ml) | | Normal | 1.75 to 3 tbsp (25 to 45 ml) | 1.75 tbsp (25 ml) | 1 to 1.75 tbsp (15 to 25 ml) | | Express | 1.75 tbsp (25 ml) | 1 to 1.75 tbsp (15 to 25 ml) | 1 tbsp (15 ml) | | Rinse | None | None | None |

Detergent

Adding Detergent

If using detergent tablets, position them so they do not contact the lid. Insert them flat, not on their side.

Note: Do not place detergent tablets in the detergent compartment 1B. Place tablets or other forms of detergent directly in the detergent dispenser 92.

Dosage: see manufacturer's instructions on the package.

The detergent dispenser will open automatically at the appropriate time for the selected cycle. Liquid or powder detergent is dispersed in the appliance and dissolves; detergent tablets fall into the detergent compartment 1B where they dissolve throughout the cycle.

Dishwasher Cycles

Tip: If dishes are lightly soiled, a quantity of detergent slightly less than the recommended amount is sufficient.

Dishwasher Cycles

Note: The Energy Guide labeling is based on the Normal soil level detection cycle as follows: the unit was tested with an empty rinse aid dispenser. A single dose of detergent was introduced into the detergent dispenser, with no detergent being used otherwise.

| Wash Cycle | Recommended Use | Possible Wash Cycle Options | |---|---|---| | Heavy | Ideal for cleaning dishes soiled by cooked foods or grease. They generally require soaking time or hand scrubbing. | All | | Auto | The most intelligent cycle, with the most flexible soil detection, ideal for mixed and soiled dishes. | All | | Eco* | Ideal for delicate plates and glasses, this cycle reduces temperature and cycle length to decrease energy consumption. | Delay, SpeedPerfect™*, Half Load, Extra Shine™ | | Normal (see note at bottom of table) | Recommended for daily, regular, or typical use for washing a full load of dishes with normal soil. | All | | Express | Cleans lightly soiled dishes and reduces total cleaning time. Use this cycle to clean glasses and dessert plates that can be reused for the same occasion. | Delay, Extra Shine™ | | Rinse | Use this cycle if you want to rinse dishes beforehand to avoid odors. Place unrinsed dishes in the dishwasher and select the Rinse cycle. Uses less water than manual washing and very low power. | Delay |

Note: For optimal performance with minimal energy consumption, it is recommended to disable all available options and settings except for the Auto Power Off option.

*the number of wash cycles depends on your dishwasher's features

Dishwasher Cycle Options

Dishwasher Cycle Options

*Depending on your dishwasher's features, you may have a choice among multiple cleaning cycle options.

Delay

Allows you to delay the start of your dishwasher up to 24 hours.

SpeedPerfect™*

SpeedPerfect™ is an option that allows you to save time without affecting cleaning and drying performance. This option ensures the same final temperatures as the underlying cycle by starting the heating period earlier in the program. Selecting this option also improves energy performance while reducing cycle time.

Half Load

Can reduce water consumption when cleaning small lightly soiled dishes, filling approximately half the dishwasher capacity.

Delicate

The reduced duration and temperature of this option are perfect for lightly soiled items with food residue that is easy to remove. This option also prevents spotted glassware from coming out of the dishwasher. It is recommended to use a rinse aid with the Brilliance drying function (even if you use all-in-one detergents).

Sanitize

This function increases temperatures and maintains them for an extended period to achieve predefined sanitization performance. Continuous use of this function improves hygiene levels. This additional option is ideal for washing items such as cutting boards and baby bottles.

The sanitize LED indicator lights when sanitization requirements are met. Using the Sanitize option can also improve drying.

Extra Shine™*

Used in conjunction with a cleaning cycle (except rinse), the Extra Shine™ option increases temperature and extends drying time for better results and a brighter shine.

Wash Cycle Information

To save energy, this dishwasher features an EcoSense system in which the dishwasher's sensors automatically adjust variations in cycle length, temperature, and water based on the level of food soil and incoming water temperature. Decisions made by "Intelligent Control" may cause intermittent adjustment of the time and water used for the cycle.

Dishwasher Cycle Options

Cycle times are based on water supply temperature of 120°F (49°C). If your home's water supply temperature is different from 120°F (49°C), your dishwasher cycle times may be affected.

Regular inspection and maintenance of your appliance will help prevent potential failures. This allows you to save time and prevent new problems.

General Condition of the Dishwasher

Warning

■ Never use a steam cleaner to wash your dishwasher. The manufacturer will not be responsible for any damage caused.

■ Regularly wipe the front of the appliance with a slightly damp cloth (it is important to use water and a small amount of liquid soap). Avoid using sponges, as they could scratch surfaces.

■ Do not use bleach-based wipes, as they could damage the surface or printing.

■ Stainless steel appliances: to prevent corrosion, do not use sponges or chlorine-based detergents. Use a stainless steel polish product to seal and protect the surface. Do not use chlorine-based cleaners or wipes.

Touch Controls Not Activating Easily or Activating Without Being Touched

Water or other liquids on the surface.

Cleaning the front panel with a damp cloth beforehand can cause undesired activation of functions. Clean the front panel with a soft, dry cloth. If you must use a damp cloth for cleaning, dry immediately. Never pour water on the controls.

Touch controls not activated properly.

Press the center of the touch control with the flat area of your fingertip. A signal will sound to indicate that the selection has been made. Light touching of the controls should work.

Note: A preset delay alerts the user against performing multiple actions simultaneously after accidentally swiping your hand (or cleaning cloth) across the control panel.
