LOADING THE DISHWASHER
Pre-Load Preparation
Remove large particles of food from the dishes before food has a chance to
dry, but
rinsing is not necessary.
Food soils will actually enhance the detergent’s performance.
Use the Rinse & Hold cycle if waiting an extended period of time before
washing.
Pre-soak and hand-scour pots and pans with burned-on or blackened food.
Do not place foreign objects, toothpicks, paper products, bags, or packaging materials, dishwasher!
such as plastic into the
Standard Bottom Rack
Figure 2 Standard Top Rack
General Loading Tips
· Load dishwasher so water can circulate freely and reach every part of item.
· Do not allow delicate items to touch – they could be damaged.
· Place items upside down – so water does not collect inside of them.
· Place items so that nothing prob’udes through the bottom of the racks – this
could block the rotation of the spray arms.

calibrated from I to 6. (See Figure 21.) This regulator controls the amount of
rinse agent dispensed. The dishwasher leaves the factory preset to 4. However,
· if you see streaks, you should turn the regulator to a lower number.
· if you see water spots,you should turn the regulator to a higher number.
Rinseagent level indicator Figure 22

Condensation Drying
The combination of a high final rinse temperature, the tub’s cool stainless
steel interior and the sheeting action of a Rinse Agent result in effective
and efficient drying. The closed condensation drying feature is hygienic, and
saves energy and money.
Note: For BEST DRYING results, it is essential to use a RINSE AGENT and keep
the Rinse Dispenser FULL. (See Figure 31).

dishwasher on. The display will blink with a code of “0” or “1”. Release the
buttons. You are in program mode. 2. If the display blinks with a “0’_ you are
programmed for a lower temperature rinse. If the display blinks with a “I”,
you are programmed for a higher temperature rinse, thus improving dish drying.
3. To change the program code, press the _Regular” button. 4-.When you have

Figure 31
Unloading
When unloading the dishwasher always unload the lower rack first and then
unload the upper rack. This will minimize the chance of water drops from the
upper rack falling on the dishes in the lower rack. The silverware basket(s)
of the Bosch dishwasher can be removed for easy unloading.
The dishware tends to get hot immediately following a completed cyde. If the
door is opened slightly for a few minutes before unloading, the disheswill
cool more quickly.

The Top Rack Only– Cyde
Some BOSCH models have a Top Rack Only cycle that saves energy and water when
you have only a small load of dishes. Also, youll use less detergent for the
Top Rack Only cycle. The washing time, however, is not reduced.
The upper rackof the dishwasher hasbeen designed with flexibility in mind. You can load glasses, cups, plates, bowls and small pots in many different positions to fit your needs. Figure 34 shows a typical mixed load placedcorrectly in the upper rack for the Top Rack Only cycle.

Clean Stainless Steel Tank and Inner Door
Clean the outer edges of the inside door panel regularly to remove food
particles that can gather there from normal loading. If spots begin to appear
on the stainless steel tank or inner door, check to make sure that the rinse
agent reservoir is full.
Clean Outer Door
Colored Doors Use only soft cloth that is lightly dampened with soapy water.
Do not use paper towels or an abrasive doth.

cleaner. For best results, apply stainless steel cleaner directly to the
cloth, then wipe the surface. Do not use metal scouring pads to clean the
stainless steel surfaces as these can scratch the surface and leave metal
fragments that can rust.
Clean Door Gasket
