Environmental protection and energy-saving

3.1 Saving energy
If you follow these instructions, your appliance will use less power and water.
Use the Normal program. a The Normal program is energy-efficient and environmentally friendly.
→ “Dishwasher Cycles”, Page 10
3.2 AquaSensor
The Aqua Sensor is an optical measuring device (light barrier) which measures the turbidity of the washing water. You can save water with the AquaSensor.
The operation of the Aqua Sensor depends on the selected cycle. If the soiling level is high, the washing water is drained off and replaced with fresh water. If the soiling level is lower, the washing water is used in the next rinse, so reducing water consumption by 3-6 liters. In the Auto cycles the temperature and run time are additionally adjusted to the level of soiling.

Note: Follow the manufacturer’s instructions for each detergent.

Detergent| Description
Tabs| Tabs are perfect for all cleaning functions and do not need to be measured out.
However, with shorter Cycles
→ Page 10 sometimes tabs do not dissolve entirely and leave residues of detergent. This may reduce its effectiveness.
Powder detergent| Powder detergent is recommended for shorter cycles. The dosage can be adjusted to the level of soiling.
Liquid detergent| Liquid detergent works faster and is recommended for shorter cycles without a pre-rinse.
Sometimes liquid detergent may leak out despite the detergent dispenser being closed. This is not a problem, just remember the following:◾        Only choose a cycle without PreRinse.

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. Further, to the extent you have installed the Product in a difficult-toaccess location or have otherwise installed temporary
or permanent fixtures that create barriers to accessing or removing the Product, Bosch will not incur any liability for, or have responsibility, for work or costs associated with moving the Product or otherwise creating access to the Product in order to repair or replace it. All such costs shall be your sole responsibility.
