• To avoid oor damage and possible mold growth, do not allow wet areas to
remain around or under the dishwasher.
WARNING: CHILD SAFETY
• Keep detergents or rinsing agents out of the reach of children.
• To reduce risk of injury, do not allow children to play in or on the dishwasher.
• Do not allow children to handle or play near knives and sharp utensils.
• When children become old enough to operate the appliance, it is the
responsibility of the parents/legal guardians to ensure the
children are instructed in safe practices by qualied persons.
CAUTION
• When loading items to be washed:
• Locate sharp items so they are not likely to damage the door seal.
• Do not wash plastic items unless they are marked “dishwasher safe” or
the equivalent. Otherwise, check the manufacturer’s recommendations.
• Do not operate your dishwasher unless all enclosure panels are in place.
• Do not tamper with or override controls and interlocks.
• Dishes can be very hot immediately after cycle ends. Open the door slightly
and allow dishes to cool for a few minutes before unloading.
• This dishwasher is intended for use up to a maximum altitude of 13,000 ft
(4,000 meters) above sea level.
• Use only detergents or rinsing agents recommended for use in a dishwasher.
WARNING
• End of Life Disposal - Remove the dishwasher door to the washing compart-
ment when removing an old dishwasher from service or discarding.
NOTICE
• It is highly recommended for the end user to become familiar with the pro-
cedure to shut o the incoming water supply and the procedure to shut o
the incoming power supply. See the Installation Instructions or contact your
installer for more information.
CAUSES OF DAMAGE
• Detergent will destroy the water softening system! Never pour detergent
into the salt dispenser.
• To avoid oversudsing or clogging, do not overll the rinse aid dispenser.
Wipe up any spills with a damp cloth.
• Do not allow water to remain in your dishwasher systems through extended
periods of freezing temperatures. Freezing temperatures can damage the
water ll valve and potentially other components of your dishwasher.
• Never use steam cleaning products to clean your dishwasher. The manufac-
turer will not be responsible for the possible damages or consequences.
• Do not use harsh chemicals, bleach-based wipes, abrasive cleaners, scour-
ing pads (metal or plastic), or abrasive cloths/paper towels to clean your
dishwasher’s exterior door panel. These could damage your dishwasher’s
exterior door panel.
• Do not load the dishwasher with paper products, plastic bags, packing materi-
als or anything other than normal, dishwasher safe dishware and kitchenware.
This Quick Start and Safety Guide explains the basics of operating your dishwasher
and those safety measures that must be followed.
For complete product information refer to the Use and Care Manual available
online at www.bosch-home.com/us/service/get-support/owner-manuals.
Safety Denitions:
WARNING: This indicates that death or serious injuries may occur as a
result of non-observance of this warning.
CAUTION: This indicates that minor or moderate injuries may occur as a
result of non-observance of this warning.
NOTICE: This indicates that damage to the appliance or property may occur as a
result of non-compliance with this advisory.
WARNING: TIP OVER HAZARD!
Dishwasher must be installed immediately and secured with
mounting brackets to avoid tip over. A child can tip the dish-
washer and be seriously injured if the door is opened before it is
installed. (see Installation Guide for instructions)
WARNING: SAFE OPERATION
• Use this dishwasher only for its intended function, which is the washing of
household dishware and kitchenware rated as dishwasher safe.
• DISHWASHER MUST BE ELECTRONICALLY GROUNDED. See Installation
Guide for instructions.
• The sharp points and edges of knives and other sharp utensils can cause
serious injury. Load knives and other sharp utensils with edges down.
• To avoid risk of injury, always use caution when opening the door during or
following a wash cycle as hot water or steam may escape. Do not fully open
the door until water noises have stopped and steam has subsided.
• Misuse of the dishwasher can result in serious injury or death. Do not use
the dishwasher in any way not covered in the Use and Care Manual or for
any purpose other than those explained in the following pages.
• Never use harsh chemicals to clean your dishwasher. Some bleach-based
products can damage your dishwasher and may present health hazards!
• Use caution when removing parts for cleaning as some debris may be sharp.
• Do not abuse, sit or stand on the door or dish racks of the dishwasher.
• RISK OF EXPLOSION - 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. Before using a dishwasher that is
connected to a hot water system that has been unused for two weeks or
longer, turn on all hot water faucets and let the water ow from each for
several minutes. This will release any accumulated hydrogen gas. As the
gas is explosive, do not smoke or use an open ame during this time.
• RISK OF EXPLOSION - When cleaning your dishwasher with any cleaning
agent, remove all cookware, utensils or any foreign material from inside.
Some cleaning agents are highly acidic and/or caustic alkaline, which
can cause Hydrogen gas to form if aluminum material is also inside the
dishwasher tub. Hydrogen gas is explosive. Refer to the Care and
Maintenance section of the dishwasher Use and Care manual for
instructions on how to properly clean your dishwasher.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Q: Why is food left on dishes?
A: It is possible the dishes do not have adequate clearance between them.
Also, be sure nothing is blocking spray arm and that the lter is clean. Select an
intensive cleaning cycle.
Q: Why does the cycle run a long time?
A: 1. Sensors in the dishwasher automatically increase the cycle time to ensure a
good wash when heavy soil is detected.
2. Incoming water may not be hot enough and dishwasher has to heat it.
Q: Why is E:XX (X can be any number) displayed?
A: This is an error code. For example, E:22 indicates there is water in the sump
because the lter is blocked or needs cleaning. See the Use and Care Manual
for a list of error codes.
