MATERIALS CHART
Important: Before you wash anything in the dishwasher, check the materials chart shown below in Table 1. Some materials are not dishwasher-safe and should be hand-washed. Others require special loading considerations. Before washing any dishware or cookware, contact the manufacturer of the material to confirm that it is dishwasher-safe.

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 enhance
the detergent’s performance. Use the Rinse & Hold cycle if waiting an extended period before washing. Pre-soak and hand-scour pots and pans with burned-on or blackened food. Do not place foreign objects, such as toothpicks, paper products, plastic bags, or packaging materials, into the dishwasher!

General Loading Tips

• Load the dishwasher so water can circulate freely and reach every part of the 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 protrudes through the bottom of the racks – this could block the rotation of the spray arms.

Integra Ltd Racks
The dishwasher racks in Figures 4 and 5 are those that come with the Bosch Integra Lid model (SHU 9950) only. Shown in these figures are the recommended 12 place-setting loading patterns to obtain optimal performance from your dishwasher.

Loading the Bottom Rack
Place large and/or heavily soiled items in the bottom rack of the dishwasher. Load heavily soiled pots and pans face down, as shown in Figure 6. For larger items, fold down the rear tines on the bottom rack. When in the down position, they
can hold extra-large utensils, such as serving spoons or large knives.

Loading the Top Rack
The upper rack of the dishwasher has been designed with flexibility in mind. Glasses, cups, plates, bowls and small pots may be loaded in many different positions to fit your needs. Figure 7 shows a typical mixed load for the upper rack.

Cup Shelves

• Flipdowncupshelves.
• Placeglasses are upside down with stemsresting in the “V” of the shelves.

Note
Some model dishwashers come with accessories. Various Accesories for your dishwasher can be purchased through your local Bosch dealer.

Standard Top Rack Adjustment
The top rack height of the Bosch dishwashers is adjustable (in most models.) There is an upper and lower position for the top rack which is used to accomodate items with different heights.

How to Adjust the Top Rack

1. Pull out the (empty) top rack to the point where it can be lifted upward.
2. Pull the rack outward and up until the rollers are completely free of channels.
3. Reinsert the rack with the other set of rollers on the channel.

RackHaUc Adjustment
(SHU9950 model only) The top rack height of the Bosch dishwashers is adjustable. There is an upper and lower position for the top which is used to accomodate items with different heights.

How to Lower and Raise the Rack
First, pull out the top rack.

To lower Rack

• Pressthe levers simultaneously (one on the left and one on the right side of the rack).
• Always hold the sides of the rack on the upper edge, Otherwise, it will not drop smoothly (and may damage the utensils).

To Raise Rack

• Take hold of the rack on the upper edge and pull upwards.
• Before you re-insert the rack, ensure that it is _: the same height on both sides. Otherwise, the appliance door will not close the upper spray arm will not connect to the water circuit.

Loading the Silverware Basket(s)
All Bosch dishwashers have a large silverware basket in the bottom rack. Those models with the
TOP RACK ONLY feature has an additional upper small silverware basket. For personal safety and a top-quality clean, place the silverware in the baskets:

• so that they do not nest together.
• place silverware with handles down, but
• place knives and other potentially dangerous utensils handle up.

Upper Position

• Max. height (on top)8″
• Max. height (on bottom)14″
• Lower Position

ADDING DETERGENT

Selecting the Right Detergent
Use only dishwashing detergent in your Bosch dishwasher. It is highly recommended to use powder detergent that DOES NOT contain a drying agent additive. Use of other types of detergents may suit in excessive suds. Concentrated detergents usually call for lower usage than standard detergents. Please refer to Table 2 for recommended detergent usage.

Filling the Detergent Dispenser

1. Locate the detergent dispenser on the inside door of the dishwasher (see Figure 1).
2. Open the detergent dispenser cover by pushing the release tab.
3. Fill dispenser. Refer to Table 2 to determine the amount of detergent necessary for your water and wash type. Use the measurement lines inside the detergent dispenser as a fill guide.
4. Close the dispenser. With fingers on an arrow, slide the cover over the detergent chamber and press down on the arrow until it clicks shut.

Recommended Detergent Usage

Rinse Agent
A rinse agent, or a rinse aid, is used to provide optimum drying results and diminish water spotting. AhHays uses a rinse agent with the Boschdishwasher to ensure proper drying results. It rinses the dishware and also rinses the internal parts of the dishwasher.

To Fill the Rinse Agent Reservoir:

1. Open the dishwasher door fully.
2. Open the cover of the rinse agent dispenser by pressing the star on the cover with your index finger while pulling on the tab with your thumb.
3. Add rinse agent to the reservoir until the level indicator turns dark, indicating that the reservoir is full (capacity is approx. 3.5 oz.).

Rinse Agent

Dispenser Regulator

The rinse agent reservoir of the Bosch dishwasher is provided with a regulator 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.

Rinse Agent Znd_cator Ught
Some models are equipped with an additional rinse aid indicator light on the control panel. When the rinse agent dispenser is empty, the indicator light will glow and the level indicatorwill show a silver background with black lines. After fillingthe rinse agent dispenser, dose the door and wait a few minutes for the indicator light to register.

PROGRAM OPTIONS & UNLOADING
Program Features for Integra Ltd. The Wash Light is illuminated when any wash code is in operation up until the completion of the final rinse cycle. Dry Light is illuminated during the condensation drying phase. Clean Light is illuminated when the dishes are cleaned, dried and ready to be unloaded.

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 con- sensation 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).

Additional Drying Temperature
for Models SHU9952/5/6UC:

1. Open the door, hold down the “Regular” button and simultaneously turn the 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 “1”, 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 the desired code selected, turn the dishwasher off to take it out of program mode.
   Note: For the SHV 6800 models, push the *Power Scrub” button in place of the “Regular” button.

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 cycle. If the door is opened slightly for a few minutes before unloading, the dishes will cool more quickly.

SPECIAL FEATURES
Please refer to the (pg. 27, Table 6) features chart to determine which special features your particular model dishwasher has.

CARE AND CLEANING

General Maintenance
Certain areas of your Bosch Dishwasher require periodic owner inspection. The following main nance tasks can be performed to help ensure top performance:

• Check the Large Object Trap *
• Check the Wash Arms
• Clean Stainless Steel Inner Door
• Clean Door Panel (Stainless Steel or Colored)
• Clean the Door Gasket

Check Large Object Trap
The filter system is self-deaning. The purpose of the Large Object Trap is to help prevent desirable objects such as bones, glass, straws and toothpicks from damaging the pump system. Items such as these should be removed from the Large Object Trap.

Triple Filter System

1. Large Object Trap
2. Micro Filter
3. Fine Filter

Bosch dishwashers have a triple filter system composed of a Microfilter, a Fine Filter and a Large Object Trap.

To Remove the Large Object Trap

1. Turn the ring handle (as shown in Figure 38) 1/4 turn counter-clockwise and lift out.
2. Lift out the large object trap for inspection.
3. If large solids, such as bones, large seed(s), or paper labels are present, remove them by hand. The Large Object Trap can also be flushed out by holding it under running water.
4. Turn left to loosen (counter-clockwise) and right to tighten (cock-wise).

To Re-insert the Large Object
Trap in the Dishwasher:

1. Press the filters firmly into position.
2. Turn 1/4 turn clockwise until locked.
3. Pull gently to ensure that it is locked in place.

Check Wash Arms
The wash arms should be checked periodically to ensure that the spray orifices are clear and unobstructed. If the wash arms require cleaning they are easy to remove and replace:

1. The lower wash arm simply snaps into place. Pull gently upwards to remove it.
2. The upper wash arm is held in position by a locking nut. Turn the locking ring approximately 1/8 turn clockwise to release the arm. See Figure 40
3. After cleaning, reinstall the wash arms.

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
Use only soft cloth that is lightly dampened with soapy water. Do not use paper towels or an abrasive cloth.

Stainless Steel Doors
Use a soft cloth with a non-abrasive stainless steel 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 Outer Door
Colored Doors
Use only soft cloth that is lightly dampened with soapy water. Do not use paper towels or an abrasive cloth.

Stainless Steel Doors
Use a soft cloth with a non-abrasive stainless steel 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
Clean the door gasket regularly to remove food particles that can be gathered from normal loading. If necessary clean the door gasket using a damp cloth.
