• This dishwasher is provided with Installation Instructions and this Use and Care Manual. Read and understand all instructions

before using the dishwasher.

• Use only detergents or rinsing agents recommended for use in a dishwasher, and keep them out of the reach of children.

• When loading items to be washed:

Locate sharp items so that they are not likely to damage the door seal.

Load knives and other sharp utensilswith their HANDLES UPto reduce the risk of cut-type injuries.

• Do not wash plastic items unless they are marked "dishwasher safe" or the equivalent. For plastic items not so marked, 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.

Preparing and Loading the Dishware

Dishware Preparation

Do not pro-wash items having loosely-attached soiling. Remove large food particles, bones, seeds,

toothpicks, and excessive grease. Items having burned-on, baked-on or starchy soils may require

pro-treatment.

Loading the Dishwasher

Check the Materials section of this manual if you are unsure about an item's dishwasher suitability.

Load only dishwasher-safe items into the dishwasher. Load dishes in the dishwasher racks so that

the insides of bowls, pots, and pans are facing the spray arms. Avoid nesting and contact points

between dishes. Separate items of dissimilar metals.

Loading the Top Rack

Figures 1 and 2 show typical 10 and 12 place load patterns for the top rack.

NOTE: Make sure items do not protrude through the bottom of the racks and block the spray arms.

Figure 16

Adding Detergent and Rinse Agent

Detergent

Use only detergent specifically designed for dishwashers. For best results, use fresh

powdered dishwashing detergent.

ATTENTION

To avoid dishwasher damage, do not use hand dishwashing products.

This dishwasher uses less water so you need to use less detergent. With soft water, 1

tablespoon (15ml) of detergent will clean most loads. The detergent dispenser cup has

lines that measure detergent to 1 tablespoon (15ml) and 1.75 tablespoons (25ml). 3

tablespoons (45ml) of detergent will completely fill the detergent dispenser cup.

ATTENTION

To avoid dishware damage, do not use too much detergent if your water supply is

soft. Using too much detergent in soft water may cause etching in glassware.

NOTE: If you do not know the hardness of your water supply, use 15ml of detergent.

Increase the amount of detergent, if necessary, to the least amount required to get your

dishware and kitchenware clean. Use the measuring lines in the detergent dispenser cup

as a guide to measure the amount of detergent recommended in Table 1.

stainless steel. For the best results, apply the stainless steel cleaner to the cloth, then wipe

the surface.

Regularly clean the door gasket with a damp cloth to remove food particles and other

debris. Also clean the door seal, located inside the dishwasher at the bottom of the door.

will vary based on your actual conditions.

NOTE: If the unit is out of rinse agent the Hygiene Dry featue will automatically extend the cycle time by approximately 10

minutes (Models DWHD64C, DWHD64E).

THE NSF SYMBOL

A dishwasher or a dishwasher cycle that has the NSF symbol has been certified by the NSF International to meet very strict

requirements of wash time and water temperature to ensure dishware and kitchenware sanitization. These requirements are

explained in the document NSF/ANS1184, Residential Dishwashers. More information on NSF Certification is available at the

NSF website, http:llwww.nsfconsumer.orglhomelappliances.asp.

Your dishwasher is NSF certified. The dishwasher cycles that are NSFcertified are shown in the chart above. When these cycles

are complete, the "Sanitized" indicator on your dishwasher control panel will illuminate.

NOTE: If your household water supply is too hot, your dishwasher's heating time may be reduced and the "Sanitized" light or

symbol may not illuminate. Your Dishwasher Installation Manual has information on the recommended temperature for your

household hot water supply.

Self Help

Dishwashers may occasionally exhibit problems that are unrelated to a malfunction of the dishwasher itself. The following information

may help you with a dishwasher problem without your having to call a repair person.

Dishes do not dry

The rinse agent dispenser may be empty. Check the rinse-aid dispenser and refill it if necessary. Dishware drying can be accelerated and

enhanced by opening the dishwasher door slightly and propping it open with the top rack.

Indicator light(s) do not come on

A fuse may have blown or a circuit breaker tripped. Check the fuse or circuit breaker at your fuse box/breaker box and replace the fuse or

reset the breaker if necessary.

Dishwasher does not start

The dishwasher door may not be properly shut. Make certain the dishwasher door is shut and latched.

Dishwasher runs a long time

If the dishwasher completes the cycle, but the run time seems exceptionally long, it may be due to cold incoming water. Before starting

the dishwasher, open the hot water faucet at the sink nearest the dishwasher. Run the water until it runs hot, then turn off the water and

start the dishwasher.

Machine cycle does not advance to rinse

NOTE: The installation Manual that came with your dishwasher will help you with the following instructions. The water supply line may

be shut off. Check the water supply valve and open it if it's shut.

White spots left on dishes

More rinse agent is needed. Go to the Adding Detergent and Rinse Agent section of this manual for instructions on increasing the

amount of rinse agent dispensed.

Water not pumped from dishwasher

Make certain the drain hose isn't kinked, clogged, or improperly installed. Make certain a portion of the drain hose is at least 20 inches

above the dishwasher's enclosure floor (see the Installation Manual). Filters may be clogged. Make certain the filter system isn't clogged

(see the Care and Maintenance section of this manual). The kitchen sink drain may be clogged; you may need a plumber rather than a

serviceman for the dishwasher. If an air gap is installed at sink, it may be clogged.

Detergent dispenser cover will not shut

You may not be correctly shutting the detergent dispenser cover, or a cycle was not finished and should be cancelled. Go to the Adding

Detergent and Rinse Agent section of this manual for instructions on shutting the detergent dispenser cover. Go to the Operating the

Dishwasher section of this manual for instructions on canceling a cycle.

Streaks on glassware

Too much rinse agent is being dispensed. Go to the Adding Detergent and Rinse Agent section of this manual for instructions on

decreasing the amount of rinse agent dispensed.

Rattling noises

Utensils may not be properly arranged.

Suds in dishwasher

You may have used the wrong type of dishwashing detergent, Use only automatic dishwasher detergents,

Unsatisfactory washing results

• incorrect amount of detergent.

• Utensils incorrectly arranged or rack overloaded.

• Spray arm rotation blocked by utensils.

• Spray arm nozzles need cleaning.

• Filters not properly fitted into position.

• Unsuitable cycle selected.

What this Warranty Covers & Who it Applies to: The limited warranty

provided BSH Home Appliances ("Thermador") in this Statement of

Limited Product Warranty applies only to Thermador dishwashers

("Product") sold to you, the first using purchaser, provided that

the Product was purchased: (1) for your normal, household (non-

commercial) use, and has in fact at all times only been used for normal

household purposes; (2) new at retail (not a display, "as is", or previously

returned model), and not for resale, or commercial use; and (3) 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

Thermador to notify you in the unlikely event of a safety notice

or product recall.

How Long the Warranty Lasts: Thermador warrants that the Product

is free from defects in materials and workmanship for a period of three

hundred sixty five (365) days (i.e., 1 year) 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. Labor and shipping costs are included in this basic

coverage.

Extended Limited Warranty: Thermador also provides these additional

limited warranties:

• 2 Year Limited Warranty: Thermador will repair or replace

any component that proves to be defective in materials or

workmanship (excludes labor charges).

• 5 Year Limited Warranty on Electronics: Thermador will repair

or replace any Thermador 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: Thermador

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:

Thermador will 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). Thermador will replace the stainless steel door if

the door should rust through (excludes labor charges).

The foregoing timeline begins to run upon the date of purchase, and

shall not be stalled, tolled, extended, or suspended, for any reason

whatsoever.

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 unauthorized 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 specially 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: Thermador 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.

excludes all defects or damage that are not the direct fault of

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

(1) use of the Product in anything other than its normal, customary and

intended manner (including without limitation, any form of commercial
