• To avoid floor 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 qualified 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 off the incoming water supply and the procedure to shut off
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 overfill 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 fill 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, scouring
pads (metal or plastic), or abrasive cloths/paper towels to clean your dish-
washer’s exterior door panel. These could damage your dishwasher’s exterior
door panel.
• Do not load the dishwasher with paper products, plastic bags, packing materials
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.thermador.com/us/support/owner-manuals
Safety Definitions:
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 flow from each for
several minutes. This will release any accumulated hydrogen gas. As the
gas is explosive, do not smoke or use an open flame 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 filter 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 filter is blocked or needs cleaning. See the Use and Care Manual
for a list of error codes.

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 the Thermador® dishwasher (“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.
• Within the United States or Canada, and has at all times remained within the country of
original purchase.
The warranties stated herein apply to the original purchaser of the product warranted herein
and to each succeeding owner of the product purchased for ordinary home use during the
term of the warranty.
Please make sure to return your registration card; while not necessary to effectuate warranty
coverage, it is the best way for Thermador 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 seven hundred thirty (730) days (2 years) from the date of purchase. The foregoing timeline
begins to run upon the date of purchase, and shall not be stalled, tolled, extended, or sus-
pended, 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.
Repair/Replace as Your Exclusive Remedy
During this warranty period, Thermador 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 Thermador
will replace your Product (upgraded models may be available to you, in Thermador’s sole
discretion, for an additional charge). All removed parts and components shall become the
property of Thermador 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. Thermador’s sole liability and responsibility hereunder is
to repair manufacturer-defective Product only, using a Thermador authorized service provider
during normal business hours. For safety and property damage concerns, Thermador highly
recommends that you do not attempt to repair the Product yourself, or use an un-authorized
servicer; Thermador 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 spe-
cially trained on Thermador products, and who possess, in Thermador’s opinion, a superior
reputation for customer service and technical ability (note that they are independent entities
and are not agents, partners, affiliates or representatives of Thermador). Notwithstanding
the foregoing, Thermador 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, Thermador 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, includ-
ing repairs, pro-rates, or Product replacement, once this warranty has expired.

fault of Thermador, including without limitation, one or more of the following:
