Detergent

. Detergent
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.

Rinse
Use this cycle if you need to pre-rinse dishes to avoid odors. Place unrinsed dishes inside the dishwasher and select the Rinse cycle. Uses less water than hand rinsing and very low energy.
Delay
Note: The Energy Guide label was based on the Normal soil sensing cycle as follows: The unit was tested without any rinse aid (liquid) in the rinse aid dispenser 9*. A single dose of detergent was inserted into the detergent dispenser 92, with no detergent being used in the prewash. The unit was not subjected to truncated testing per the definitions in the test procedure. We recommend that dish loads such as the one in the energy certification test have the rack position set in the highest position.

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.

What this Warranty Covers ytnaraWtcudorPdetimiLfotnemtatS & Who it Applies to:
The limited warranty provided by BSH Home Appliances Corporation (BSH) in this
Statement of Limited Product Warranty applies only to Bosch® dishwashers
(“Product#) sold to you, the first using purchaser, provided that the Product
was purchased: for your normal, household
(non-commercial) use, and has in fact at all times only been used for normal
household purposes; new at retail (not a display, “as is#, or previously
returned model), and not for resale, or commercial use; and 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 first 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 BSH to notify you in the
unlikely event of a safety notice or product recall.
How Long the Warranty Lasts
BSH warrants that the Product is free from defects in materials and
workmanship for a period of three hundred sixty five (365) days 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.
This Product is also warranted to be free from cosmetic defects in material
and workmanship (such as scratches of stainless steel, paint/porcelain
blemishes, chip, dents, or other damage to the finish of the Product), for a
period of thirty (30) days from the date of purchase or closing date for new
construction. This cosmetic warranty excludes slight color variations due to
inherent differences in painted and porcelain parts, as well as differences
caused by kitchen lighting, product location, or other similar factors. This
cosmetic warranty specifically excludes any display, floor, “As Is#, or “B#
stock appliances.
Extended Limited Warranty
BSH also provides these additional limited warranties: 5 year limited warranty
on
electronics: BSH will repair or replace any BSH microprocessor or printed
circuit board if it proves to be defective in materials or workmanship

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. If reasonable attempts to repair the Product have
been made without success, then BSH will replace your Product (upgraded models
may be available to you, in the sole discretion of BSH, for an additional
charge). All removed parts and components shall become the property of BSH 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. BSH$s sole liability and
responsibility hereunder is to repair manufacturer-defective Product only,
using a BSH-authorized service provider during normal business hours. 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.
