SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS!

WARNING

• Use this dishwasher only for its intended

function, which is the washing of household

dishware and kitchenware.

• This dishwasher is provided with a manual set

which includes Installation Instructions and

Use and Care Manual. Read and understand

all instructions before using the dishwasher.

• Use only detergents or wetting 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 utensils

with their HANDLES UP to 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.

Misuse of the dishwasher can result

in serious injury or death. Do not use the

dishwasher in any way not covered in

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

This appliance must be grounded to a metal,

permanent wiring system, or an equipment

grounding conductor must be run with the circuit

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 ﬂ 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 ﬂ ame during this time.

• Remove the door to the washing compartment

when removing an old dishwasher from

service or discarding.

• To avoid ﬂ oor damage and possible mold

growth, do not allow wet areas to remain

around or under the dishwasher.

• Protect your dishwasher from the elements.

Protect against freezing to avoid possible

damage to the ﬁ ll valve. Damage caused by

freezing is not covered by the warranty.

Electrical shock or ﬁ re could result if

the electrical supply for the dishwasher

covered in this manual is incorrectly

installed or if the dishwasher has been

improperly grounded. Do not use the

dishwasher covered in this manual if you

are not certain the electrical supply has

been correctly installed or the dishwasher

has been properly grounded.

WARNING

Severe product damage and/or injury could

result from the use of unqualiﬁ ed service

technicians or non-original replacement

parts. All repairs must be performed by

a qualiﬁ ed service technician using only

original equipment factory replacement

parts.

CAUTION

Never use harsh chemicals to clean your

dishwasher. Some chloride-containing

Dishware Preparation

Do not pre-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 pre-treatment.

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.

NOTE: Make sure items do not protrude through

the bottom of the racks and block the spray arms.

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 by using a soap-ﬁ lled steel wool pad.

China, Crystal, Stoneware: Some

hand-painted pieces may discolor, fade, or

spot. Hand-wash these pieces. Position fragile

glassware so that it will not topple over or

contact other pieces during the wash cycle.

Glass: Milk glass may yellow.

Non-Stick Coatings: Apply a light coating of

vegetable oil to non-stick surfaces after drying.

Plastics: Make sure the piece is dishwasher

safe.

Stainless Steel, Sterling Silver, and Silver

Plate: Place these pieces so that they do not

contact dissimilar metals.

Not Recommended

Acrylic: Crazing (small cracks throughout the

acrylic) may occur.

Adhesive-Joined Pieces: Adhesives that join

materials such as plastic, wood, bone, steel

copper, tin, etc. may loosen.

Bone-Handled Utensils: Handles may separate.

Iron: Iron will rust. Hand-wash and dry

immediately.

Non-Dishware Items: Your dishwasher is

intended for use in cleaning ONLY standard

household dishware and kitchenware.

Pewter, Brass, Bronze: Pewter will tarnish.

Hand-wash and dry immediately.

Tin: Tin will rust. Hand-wash and dry immediately.

Wood: Wooden bowls, wooden utensils, and

wood-handled utensils can crack, warp, and lose

their ﬁ nish.

NOTE: Before using your dishwasher for the

ﬁ rst time, check the information in this section.

Some items are not dishwasher safe and should

be hand-washed; others require special loading.

Contact the item’s manufacturer if you are unsure

about the item’s dishwasher suitability.

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.

Adding Detergent and Rinse Agent

Filling the Detergent Dispenser

Fill the dispenser cup as recommend in Table 1.

(See Figure 14 for additional information.)

To close, slide the detergent dispenser cover

in the direction shown in Figure 15 and press it

down ﬁ rmly so the cover snaps shut.

Use only detergent speciﬁ cally designed

for dishwashers. For best results, use fresh

powdered dishwashing detergent.

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 ﬁ ll the detergent

dispenser cup.

Detergent

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.

To avoid dishwasher damage, do not

use hand dishwashing products in your

dishwasher.

removed for unloading.

Unload the top rack.

If the Extra Tall Item Sprinkler was installed,

return the dishwasher to its normal condition (see

the Loading Extra Tall Items instructions in the

“Loading the Dishwasher” section of this manual).

Dishware Drying

At the end of the cycle the dishwasher will stop

and a period of condensation drying will follow.

After drying, the cycle is complete and:

• the “Clean” light will illuminate (select

models).

• the completion signal will sound (select

models).

• the “Sanitized” light may appear. See section

on Sanitization for more information.

• the countdown display will show “0” (select

models).

NOTE: To accelerate and enhance drying,

open the dishwasher door, pull the top rack a

few inches out of the dishwasher, and prop the

dishwasher door against the top rack.

“Sanitized” Light

When the “Sanitized” light appears on the

control panel, it means that the dishware and

kitchenware that were just washed have been

sanitized according to the requirements of the

National Sanitation Foundation (NSF). For more

information on NSF certiﬁ cation, go to the Wash

Cycle Information section of this manual.

NOTE: If your household water supply is too hot,

your dishwasher’s heating time may be reduced

and the “Sanitized” light may not illuminate. Your

Dishwasher Installation Manual has information

on the recommended temperature for your

household hot water supply.

Maintenance Tasks

Certain areas of your dishwasher require

occasional maintenance. The maintenance tasks

are easy to do and will ensure continued superior

performance from your dishwasher. These tasks

are:

• Winterizing Your Dishwasher

• Wiping up Spills and Splash-out

• Clean the Stainless Steel Inner Door and

Tub

through a vacation period), have your dishwasher

winterized by an authorized service center.

Care and Maintenance

To avoid dishwasher damage, do not

allow water to remain in your dishwasher

systems through extended periods of

freezing temperatures. Freezing

temperatures can damage your dishwasher.

Wipe Up Spills and Splash-out

Water may occasionally splash out of your

dishwasher, especially if you interrupt a cycle

or open the dishwasher door during a cycle. To

avoid ﬂ oor damage and possible mold growth, do

not allow wet areas to remain around or under the

dishwasher.

To reinstall the bottom spray arm:

1. Return the bottom spray arm to its installed

position and press it so that it snaps into

place.

2. Return the bottom rack to its installed

Check/Clean the Filter System

This dishwasher has a ﬁ lter system that consists

of a Large Object Trap/Cylinder Filter assembly

and a Fine Filter. The ﬁ lter system is located on

the inside of your dishwasher under the lower

rack and is easily accessible.

During normal use, the ﬁ lter system is

self-cleaning. You should occasionally inspect it

for foreign objects and clean it when necessary.

Clean the Exterior Door Panel

To avoid possible diswasher damage,

do not use harsh chemicals, abrasive

cleaners, scouring pads (metal or plastic),

or abrasive cloths/paper towels to clean

your dishwasher’s exterior door panel. Your

dishwasher’s exterior door panel can be

damaged by doing so.

Colored Doors

Use only a soft cloth that is lightly dampened with

soapy water.

Stainless Steel Doors

Use a soft cloth with a non-abrasive cleaner

(preferably a liquid spray) made for cleaning

stainless steel. For the best results, apply the

stainless steel cleaner to the cloth, then wipe the

surface.

Clean the Door Gasket and Door

Seal

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.

To reinstall the ﬁ lter

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 ﬂ oor (see the Installation

Manual). Filters may be clogged. Make certain

the ﬁ lter 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 ﬁ nished 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 ﬁ tted into position.

• Unsuitable cycle selected.

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 you

having to call a repair person.

Dishes do not dry

The rinse agent dispenser may be empty.

Check the rinse-aid dispenser and reﬁ ll 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.

THE NSF SYMBOL

A dishwasher or a dishwasher cycle that has the NSF symbol has been certiﬁ ed 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/ANSI 184, Residential Dishwashers.

More information on NSF Certiﬁ cation is available at the NSF website, http://www.nsfconsumer.org/home/

appliances.asp.

Your dishwasher is NSF certiﬁ ed. The dishwasher cycles that are NSF certiﬁ ed 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.

Wash Cycle Information

NOTE: To save energy, this dishwasher has a “Smart Control” that automatically adjust the cycle based on

soil loads and incoming water temperature. The “Smart Control” makes decisions that can cause the cycle

time and water usage to adjust at discrete times, and suddenly change in midcycle. The cycle times listed

in the Use and Care manual are based on normal soil loads and 120°F incoming water and will vary based

on your actual conditions.

See the Available Cycles Chart on page 10 to determine the cycles available for your speciﬁ c model.

Note: On select models, the Half Load feature will reduce the water consumption by approximately 30

percent in the Power Scrub Plus, Regular and Auto Wash cycles.

Statement of Limited Product Warranty

Bosch Dishwashers

What this Warranty Covers & Who it Applies to: The limited warranty provided BSH Home Appliances

(“Bosch”) in this Statement of Limited Product Warranty applies only to Bosch dishwashers (“Product”) sold

to you, the ﬁ rst 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 ﬁ rst 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 Bosch to notify you in the unlikely event of a safety notice or product recall.

How Long the Warranty Lasts: Bosch warrants that the Product is free from defects in materials and

workmanship for a period of three hundred sixty ﬁ ve (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: Bosch also provides these additional limited warranties:

• 2 Year Limited Warranty: Bosch will repair or replace any component that proves to be defective in

materials or workmanship (excludes labor charges).

• 5 Year Limited Warranty on Electronics: Bosch will repair or replace any Bosch 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: Bosch 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: Bosch 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). Bosch 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, Bosch 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 Bosch will replace your Product

(upgraded models may be available to you, in Bosch’s sole discretion, for an additional charge). All removed

parts and components shall become the property of Bosch 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. Bosch’s sole liability and responsibility hereunder is to repair

manufacturer-defective Product only, using a Bosch-authorized service provider during normal business

hours. For safety and property damage concerns, Bosch highly recommends that you do not attempt to

repair the Product yourself, or use an un-authorized servicer; Bosch 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 Bosch products, and who possess, in Bosch’s opinion, a superior reputation for customer

service and technical ability (note that they are independent entities and are not agents, partners, afﬁ liates

or representatives of Bosch). Notwithstanding the foregoing, Bosch 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, Bosch 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: Bosch 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.
