IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING -- When using your dishwasher, basic safety precautions should always be followed to
reduce Ihe risk of fire, electric shock, and/or injury to persons, including the lollowing:
I. Bosch dishwashers are provided with two manuals; one, lnstallatioo Instruction Manual and
one, Care and Use Manual. Read all instructions betore using the dishwasher.
2. Use the dishwasher only for its intended |unction.
3. Use only detergents or wetting agents recomunended lbr use in a dishwasher and keep them out
of the reach of children.
4. When loading items to be washed:
a. Locate sharp items so that they are not likely to damage the door seal,
and
b. Load sharp knives with the handle up to reduce the risk of cut-type injuries.
5. Do not wash plastic items unless marked "dishwasher safe" or the equivalent. For plastic items
not so marked, check the manufacturer's recommendations.
6. Do not touch the heating element during or immediately after use.
7. Do not operate your dishwasher unless all the enclosure panels are properly in place.
8. Do not tamper with controls.
9. Do not abuse, sit on, or stand on the door or dish rack of the dishwasher.
10. To reduce the risk of injury, do not allow children to play in or on the dishwasher.
I I. Under certain conditions, hydrogen gas may be produced in a hot water system that has not
been used for two weeks or more. Hydrogen gas is explosive. If the hot water system has not
been used for such a period, before using the dishwasher turn on all hot water faucet s and let
the water flow from each for several minutes. This will release any accumulated hydrogen gas.
As the gas is flammable, do not smoke or use an open flame during this time.
12. Remove the door to the washing compartment when removing an old dishwasher from service
or discarding.
WARNING -- This dishwasher must be grounded in accordance with the National Electrical Code
and/or local codes. These must be carefully followed in all cases. See Installation Instructions
provided with this dishwasher for complete installation information. Make sure this dishwasher has
been properly grounded and installed by a qualified installer before using.

GETTING STARTED
The operation of your Bosch dishwasher is summarized
below:
1. Load the dishwasher.
Refer to Table l for items suitable for washing in the
dishwasher. The dishwasher should be loaded with
pots, pans, dishes and silverware according to the
instructions provided under the following section
titled LOADING.
2. Add detergent and check rinse agent.
Detergent must be placed in the detergent dispenser
compartment as described in the following section
titled DETERGENT USE. The use of a rinse agent is
required to ensure good cleaning and drying result.
See section titled RINSE AGENT DISPENSER.
3. Check motion of wash arms.
The wash arms must be free to move and should not
be blocked by any item extending so far above lower
rack as to block upper arm or by any items hanging
below either the upper or lower rack to obstruct the
motion of the wash arms. See following section titled
OPERATION.
4. Close the dour of the dishwasher.
Make sure that the door is completely closed and
latched.
5. Select a wash cycle, see Table 2, and depress the
corresponding cycle button, see Figure 2
6. Start the dishwasher.
Turn "Start and Run Knob" to "START" and depress
the On/Off button. The indicator light above On/Off
button will become illuminated and the the dishwasher
will start. The "Start and Run Knob" will rotate
clockwise as the dishwasher cycle progresses. By
noting where the knob is pointing to it is possible to
discern where in the cycle the dishwasher is at any
time.
7, To stop dishwasher.
Depress the On/Off button. The indicator light above
the On/Off button will turn off. See the following
section titled TO INTERRUlrf OR RESET CYCLE.
PREPARATIONS FOR WASHING
Very little preparationis requiredbefore placing dishes,
pots, pans, etc. into the dishwasher. However, some
preparation is required:
•Large solids, such as, hones, large seeds, shells, skins,
leafy vegetables, meat trimmings, etc. should be
removed either by scraping into a wastebasket, or into
your food disposer.
•Large amounts of any type of leftover food should
also be scraped into a wastebasket or into your food
disposer.
•Pots and pans thathave burned-on food, the food is
blackened, should be pre-soaked and scoured. The
dishwasher cannot remove burned-on food.
•Do not place the following items in the dishwasher:
>toothpicks
> small bones and bone slivers
> paper products such as paper plates and paper
napkins
> plastic bags or plastic packaging material.
In general, try to remove loud scraps and place the items
to be washed in the dishwasher before the food has had a
chance to dry-un. Dried-on food is more difl_cuh to
remove. If there will be an extended period of time belore
the dishwasher will be run il is recommended that the
RINSE & HOLD cycle be used.
Other than the above, no special preparation or prc-rinsing
is required fi)r dishes, pots and pans or utensils with
normal amounts of fi)od soil.

Colored anodized aluminum may fade over time. Minerals in the water ma3
cause spotting or darkening of aluminum. This can usually be removed by
scouring with a soap filled steel wool pad.
Handles may separate.
It is highly recommended however that "on-glaze" decorated china,
handpalnted and gold or platinum trimmed, or antique china or stoneware
be hand washed. If there is any doubt, please check with the manufacturer
of your set or test by washing one piece with each load for a month and
comparing this piece with the rest of the set to determine if there has been
any fading or discoloration.
Decorated crystal, those handpalnted, "on-glaze", or metal trimmed, may
discolor, fade, or spot. It is recommended that these be hand washed. Also,
fragile glassware is highly breakable, be sure to set the pieces so that they
do not topple during washing and so that they do not knock against other
)ieces.
Milk glass may yellow.
After drying the non-stick coating should be covered with alight coating of
vegetable oil.
Iron will rust. Wash by hand and dry immediately.
Pewter will tarnish. Wash by hand and dry immediately.
Only wash "dishwasher safe" plastic items.
Do not let stainless steel items contact copper or sterling silver or
silverplate items.
Do not allow to come in contact with stainless steel or copper items.
Tin will rust. Wash by hand and dry immediately.
Wooden bowls, wooden utensils and wood handled utensils can warp, crack
or lose their finish.
The Bosch dishwasher is only intended for use in cleaning standard
household dishware items.
Table 1.

LOADING
LOADING THE TOP RACK
The top rack is designed for glasses, cups, plates, bowls
and saucers. Glasses, cups, plates, bowls, saucers and
small pots may be loaded in many different positions to
fit your needs. Figure 3, shows a typical mixed load for
an upper rack washing load.
The dishwasher should be loaded so that water can
circulate freely and reach every partof every item that is
to be cleaned:
• Cups, glasses and containers should be placed in upper
rack upside down so that water drains off of them and
does not collect in them. Tall narrow vessels, such as a
vase or tall glass, should be placed in the lower rack,
near the middle, for the best cleaning result.
Figure 3.
China, crystal and other delicate items must be placed
so that they do not touch each other during dishwasher
operation. Chipping or other damage may occur if
items can touch each other while dishwasher is
running.
Large serving spoons and forks, spatulas, tongs and
large knives can be placed in top rack. Be sure to
space these large utensils so that water may flow
freely over them and so that water does not collect in
them; - - - serving spoons and ladles should be placed
facing downward so as not to collect water.
At completion of loading of the upper rack check to
make sure that nothing is protrudingthrough or
hanging beneath the bottom of the rack, which could
block the rotation of the spray ann.
The Bosch dishwashers have aspecial feature
incorporated into the flip down cup shelves on the side
of the upper rack. The ends of these shelves are
specially formed to help maintain spacing between
stemmed glasses. When in the flipped down position
long stemmed glasses may be placed in the second
row from the edge and placed so their stems rest in the
"V" formed ends of the shelves. When the cup shelves
are in the up position long stemmed glasses may be
placed in the first row with their stems placed to rest
between the tooth like projections of the shelves.
_4.
LOADING THE LOWER RACK
• Large and/or heavily soiled items should be placed in
the lower rack of the dishwasher. Heavily soiled pots
and pans should be placed face down. See figure 4.

tkm. Figure 5 shows Ihe lower basket with the rear sClS
of tines in the down posdion to a,.'comodate large pots.
Figure 6.
Figure 5.
Silverware should be mixed when placed in the
silverware basket. The purpose of mixing the
silverware is to avoid having them nest together, for
example if spoons would be placed together they
could nest together so that water could not properly
circulate across them to clean the surfaces.
Silverware should be placed in the silverware basket
with the handles down. with the exception of the
knives, which in order to avoid accidentally cutting
oneself, should be placed with the handles up.
If >ou do inadverlemly load the silxerware bw, ket with
lhc knilE blades up it is recommended, to awfid cutting

Extra Tall Items
If you have extra tall items that cannot fit in the lower rack
without interfering with the upper spray arm or without
hitting the upper rack, the upper rack may be removed. A
special "Extra Tall Item Sprinkler" is provided with the
dishwasher to allow use of the dishwasher with upper rack
removed. See figure 7.
Figure 7.
To allow washing of extra tall items:
I. With upper rack empty, remove it from the dishwasher
by pulling the rack partially nut t,, the p,,inl where
rack can bc lilied upward and out to disemgage the

Figure 8.
2, Place the "Extra Tall Item Sprinkler" over the upper
rack spray outlet at the back of the dishwasher tub
(refer to figure 7) and turn clockwise to lock sprinkler
head in place.
Extra tall items may now be placed in lower rack for
washing, as shown in figure 8. To remove "'Extra Tall Item
Sprinkler", to again allow use of upper rack, reverse
actions used to insert it.
USING THE DISPENSERS
For the best washing result it is important to use the correct
amount of detergent and rinse agent.
DETERGENT USE
Use only fresh dishwashing detergent (powder is
recommended) manufactured specifically for dishwasher
use. Use of other types of detergents will result in
excessive suds. Be sure to check the phosphate content of
the detergent t_)be used. Phosphate helps prevent the
minerals in hard water from forming a film or spots on
dishes. Hard water requires your detergent to work harder.
In hard water areas you will find that detergents with high
phosphate levels will provide abetter result. If the
phosphate level is Inw, below 8.7_, you may have to use
cxlra detergenl in hard water area',.

Figure 14.
CARE and CLEANING
The Bosch dishwashers have a triple filter system
comprised of: a microfilter, a fine filter and a coarse filter.
The microfilter is self-cleaning, but the coarse filter and
fine filter will sometimes be found to have collected items,
from bones to toothpicks or straws that been left on the
plates or in the glasses. For this reason the following
maintenance should be observed:
Filters
The filters should be checked on a regular basis. To
remove the filters, turn the knuded ring handle of the
coarse/microfilter '/4turn counter-clockwise, see figure
14, and lift out the coarse/microfilter. After removing
the coarse/microfilter the fine filter should also be
inspected from time to time. Examine the filters. If
large solids, such as bones, or large seed(s) are present
remove the filters and dispose of the large solids by
emptying into a waste basket. If any other items have
been trapped by the filters, paper labels for examp]e.
these should also be removed while you have the fil-
ters out of the dishwasher. These smaller items can
usually be flushed out under running water if you have
trouble removing them by hand.
After cleaning, reinsert the filters in the dishwasher
making sure to press the filters firmly into positkm,
and then turning the knurled ring ¼ turn clockwise
until locked. Pull gently on the knurled ring to make
sure the filters are again locked in place.

After cleaning, reattach the wash arms by reversing
the action used to remove them.
Stainless Steel Tank and Door
The outer edges of the inside door panel should be
cleaned on a regular basis to remove food particles
that can gather there from normal loading. If spots
begin to appear on the stainless steel door or tank
