Loading the silverware basket
Place knives and sharp utensils with their handles up and forks and spoons with their handles down. If large or oddly-shaped items are loaded in the silverware basket, be sure they do not nest together.
WARNING
RISK OF INJURY! The sharp points and edges of knives and other sharp utensils can cause serious injury. Load knives and other sharp utensils with edges down. Do not allow children to handle or play near knives and sharp utensils.

This dishwasher is equipped with a silverware drawer that should accommodate most silverware loading needs.
However, if you are washing while the silverware drawer has been removed, or with excess silverware, a silverware basket is also included.
When loading the silverware basket you should avoid excessive contact points and nesting of similar items (allowing two spons to rest inside one another).
A good way to avoid excessive contact points is to load the silverware basket with the lids closed, inserting each piece of silverware into one of the individual slots as shown.

Long silverware basket
Note: The silverware basket lid may also be folded downward in order to leave the basket open.

Unloading the dishwasher
When unloading the dishwasher, to prevent water from dripping onto dry dishes, unload the lower rack 9″ first. Next, unload the silverware basket 1j followed by the upper rack 12, and then the third rack (if equipped).
Note: Dishes are more likely to chip when unloading before cooling.

Use tnegreteD only detergent specifically designed for dishwashers. For best results, use fresh powdered dishwashing detergent or detergent tabs.
NOTICE
To avoid dishwasher damage: 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.

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.

Dishwasher Cycle Options

0 Dishwasher Cycle
Options
Delay snoitpOelcyCrehsawhsiD
Allows you to delay the start time of your dishwasher up to 24 hours.
Half Load
Can reduce water consumption when washing small, lightly soiled loads that fill approximately half of the dishwasher$s capacity.

Sanitize
Increases the temperatures and retains them for an extra long time to obtain a defined disinfecting performance. Continuous use of this function increases the hygiene status. This additional option is ideal for cleaning items such as chopping boards and baby bottles.
Using the Sanitize option may also improve drying. The cycle time and energy usage may be increased.
Extra Dry

Delicate
This option$s reduced time and temperature are best for lightly soiled items with easy to remove food soils. The option also reduces the likelihood of cloudy glasses. Rinse aid is recommended for the high gloss drying function (even when using combination detergents).

Used in combination with a wash cycle (except Rinse), the Extra Dry option raises the temperature and extends the drying time to further enhance drying results and provide a brilliant shine. The energy usage may be increased.
Wash Cycle Information
To save energy, this dishwasher has EcoSense where the sensors in the dishwasher automatically adjust the cycle length, temperature and water changes based on the amount of food soil and the incoming water temperature. The “Smart Control# makes decisions that can cause the cycle time and water usage to adjust intermittently. Wash cycle times are based on 120°F (49° C) water supply. If your household water supply is different than 120°F (49° C), your dishwasher$s cycle times may be impacted.

Care and Maintenance

WARNING
Use caution when removing parts for cleaning as some debris may be sharp.
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
4-12 times a year
12 times a year

Use this setting,
if you rinse before loading
if you only scrape before loading
if you have hard water

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

Repair/Replace as Your Exclusive Remedy
During this warranty period, BSH 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.
