9 IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
READ AND SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

9 WARNING
RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK! This appliance must be grounded. In the event of a malfunction or breakdown, grounding will reduce the risk of electric shock by providing a path of least resistance for electric current. This appliance is equipped with a cord having an equipment-grounding conductor. Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor can result in risk of electric shock. Check with a qualified electrician if you are in doubt whether the appliance is properly grounded.
Safe Operation
Use this dishwasher only for its intended function, which is the washing of household dishware and kitchenware rated as dishwasher safe.
Use only detergents or rinsing agents recommended for use in a dishwasher, and keep them out of the reach of children.
9 CAUTION
When loading items to be washed: Locate sharp items so 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.
Do not tamper with or override controls and interlocks.
Do not abuse, sit or stand on the door or dish racks of the dishwasher.
9 WARNING
RISK OF INJURY! 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.
NSF/ANSI 184 Certified residential dishwashers are not intended for licensed food establishments.
Child Safety
To reduce risk of injury, do not allow children to play in or on the dishwasher.
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.

9 IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
READ AND SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

Proper Care and Maintenance
9 WARNING
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.
Remove the dishwasher door to the washing compartment when removing an old dishwasher for service or discarding.
To avoid floor damage and possible mold growth, do not allow wet areas to remain around or under the dishwasher.
To avoid dishwasher damage, 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.

NOTICE
It is highly recommended for the end user to become familiar with the procedure 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.
State of California Proposition 65 Warning:
9 WARNING
This product can expose you to chemicals including vinyl chloride, which is known to the State of California to cause cancer and birth defects or other reproductive harm. For more information go to www.P65Warnings.ca.gov.

. Detergent
Use Detergent only detergent specifically designed for dishwashers. For best results, use fresh powdered dishwashing detergent or detergent tabs.
NOTICE
To avoid damage to dishwasher or dishware: Do not use hand dishwashing
products in your dishwasher. Do not use too much detergent if
your water is soft. Using too much detergent with soft water may cause etching in glassware and fine china. To best protect glassware, use a wash cycle with low temperatures or a specific glass-care cycle (depending on the model) and use a detergent that includes etch protection.

Detergent en-us
This dishwasher uses less water than most, therefore, less detergent is required. With soft water, 1 tablespoon (15 ml) of detergent will clean most loads. The detergent dispenser cup has lines that measure detergent to 1 tablespoon (15 ml) and 1.75 tablespoons (25 ml). 3 tablespoons (45 ml) of detergent will completely fill the detergent dispenser.
Note: If you do not know the hardness of your water supply, use 15 ml of detergent. Increase the amount if necessary to the least amount required to get your kitchenware clean.
Use the measuring lines in the detergent dispenser cup as a guide to measure the amount of detergent recommended in the following table.

2 Care and
Maintenance
A regular inspection and CareandMaintenance maintenance of your machine will help to prevent faults. This saves time and prevents future problems.
Cleaning the dishwasher
Regularly wipe the front of the appliance with a damp cloth water and a small amount of liquid soap is adequate.
For black stainless steel and anti-fingerprint surfaces, use a soft, dry towel. For stubborn dirt, use warm water diluted with a non-abrasive, mild cleansing soap. Never use stainless steel polish.
For stainless steel appliances (excluding black stainless and anti- fingerprint), use a stainless steel polish to seal and protect the surface.
Clean the outer edges of the inside door panel regularly to remove debris that may collect from normal loading. If spots begin to appear on the stainless steel, make sure the rinse aid dispenser is full and functioning properly.
Clean the door seal regularly with a damp cloth to remove food particles that may collect from normal loading and cause odor. A soiled door seal may not seal properly.

Care and Maintenance en-us
NOTICE

en-us Care and Maintenance
Filters
The Bosch® filter system 1b is designed to prevent the need to pre-rinse normally attached food soils from your dishes. Simply scrape leftover food soils off of dishware before loading. This process will conserve time, water and the energy require to heat your household water supply.
Your dishwasher filter system is designed to filter 100% of the water entering the spray arms to provide a continuous supply of clean water to remove food soils from your dishware.
Filter components The filter system 1b consists of three parts.
$
%
&
A Large Object Trap Prevents objects that should not be placed in your dishwasher from damaging the dishwasher pump system or clogging your household drain.
B Flat Fine Filter Prevents food particles from entering the wash chamber and directs particles toward the micro filter.
C Micro Filter Directs the smallest of particles to the household plumbing drain.

Cleaning intervals
The filter system 1b is designed to minimize maintenance while providing premium cleaning performance and minimum energy consumption.
Depending on use habits and water hardness, the filter system will require some maintenance to sustain premium cleaning performance.

Your filter system may need to be cleaned when: You notice food soils remaining
on the filter system or objects trapped in the Large Object Trap. A drop in cleaning performance or a gritty film forms on the dishware.

When washing normally attached food soils that have been scraped before loading, in a household that runs the dishwasher every other day, your filter should be cleaned:

Cleaning interval 3-6 times a year 8-12 times a year

Usage light to average use heavy use

Note: Clean the filter system after washing loads with large amounts of food soils or loads with a heavy starch content, like potatoes and pasta, to maintain optimal performance.

38

To check or clean the filter system: 1. Unscrew the Large Object Trap as
illustrated and remove the entire filter system.

2. Remove the microfilter from the fine filter for easier cleaning.

For safety and property damage concerns, BSH highly recommends that you do not attempt to repair the Product yourself, or use an unauthorized servicer; BSH 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 BSH products, and who possess, in the opinion of BSH, a superior reputation for customer service and technical ability (note that they are independent entities and are not agents, partners, affiliates or representatives of BSH). Notwithstanding the foregoing, BSH 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, BSH 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.
