3.1Saving 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
Change the sensor setting to the default. a Consumption is reduced.
“Sensors”, Page 6
Zeolith drying automatically helps to save energy. a “Zeolith drying “, Page 6
3.2Zeolith drying
The appliance features a Zeolith container. Zeolith drying lets you save energy. Zeolite is a mineral that can store moisture and energy and then release them again. During dishwashing energy is used to heat up the washing water and dry the mineral. During the drying phase, moisture from the interior of the dishwasher is stored in the mineral and heat is released. The heat is blown out into the interior of the dishwasher with dry air. This speeds up and improves drying. Therefore, zeolith drying is very efficient.

Note: To avoid impairing Zeolith drying performance, do not position dishware parts directly in front of the intake opening or the blow opening of the Zeolith container. Do not position heat-sensitive dishware parts directly in front of the blow opening of the Zeolith container. “Appliance”, Page 7

3.3AquaSensor
The AquaSensor 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 AquaSensor 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.

3.4Sensors

The sensors adjust the cycle sequence and strength in the Auto cycles depending on the level and type of soiling. The sensor has different sensitivity levels that can be changed in the basic settings.

Sensor setting SE:00 SE:01
SE:02

Description

Optimal setting for mixed loads and heavily soiled dishware. Saves both energy and water.
Adjusts the cycle strength for effective removal of food remnants even with low soiling levels. Energy and water consumption are adjusted accordingly.
Adjusts the cycle strength for difficult conditions of use, e.g. stubborn dried-on food remnants. Recommended setting when using organic or ecological detergents containing low levels of active agents. Energy and water consumption are adjusted accordingly.

Find out which detergents are suitable for your appliance.

10.1The correct detergents

Only use detergents that are made for dishwashers, either basic or combination detergents. For the best washing and drying results, use a separate detergent, then add Rinse aid Page 15 separately. Modern, powerful detergents mainly use a low-alkaline formulation with enzymes. Enzymes break down starch and remove protein. Oxygen-based bleaching agents are generally used to remove colored stains, e.g. tea or ketchup.

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

Detergent Tabs
Powder detergent Liquid detergent

Description
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 is recommended for shorter cycles. The dosage can be adjusted to the level of soiling.
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.

Detergent containing chlorine

Description
Liquid hand soap can cause increased frothing and damage the appliance.
This may leave chlorine residue on dishware.

10.3Information on Detergent
Follow the instructions on detergents in everyday use. ¡ Detergents marked as “ecological” (environmentally
friendly) generally contain lower levels of active agents or none at all. The cleaning effect may be reduced. ¡ Adjust the rinse aid and the water softening system settings in accordance with the detergent or combination detergent in use. ¡ Any rinse aid component of a combination detergent has limited effectiveness. You will have better results using a separate rinse aid. ¡ To prevent sticking, only touch detergents in a watersoluble pouch with dry hands and only ever place them in a dry detergent dispenser. ¡ Even if the rinse aid and special salt refill indicators light up, the wash cycles will run properly with combination detergents. ¡ Use tablets with enhanced drying results.

1. Remove large remnants of food from dishware. To save resources, do not pre-rinse dishware under running water.
2. Observe the following when arranging dishware: ­ Put heavily soiled dishware in the lower rack, e.g. pans. The more powerful spray jet ensures that the dishwashing result will be better. ­ To avoid damage to dishware, arrange it so it is stable and cannot tip over. ­ To avoid injury, arrange silverware with the points and sharp edges facing down. ­ Position containers with the openings facing down so no water can collect in them. ­ Do not block the spray arms – make sure that they can turn freely. ­ Do not place small parts in the collecting tray and do not block it with dishware so as not to obstruct the lid of the detergent dispenser.

has in fact at all times only been used for normal household purposes.

¡ New at retail from a BSH authorized dealer or directly from BSH (not a display, “as is”, or previously returned model), and not for resale, or commercial use.
¡ Within the United States or Canada, and has at all times remained within the country of original purchase.
The warranties stated herein apply to the original purchaser of the product warranted herein and to each succeeding owner of the product purchased for ordinary home use during the term of the warranty. Please make sure to register your Product; while not necessary to effectuate warranty coverage, it is the best way for Bosch to notify you in the unlikely event of a safety notice or product recall.
20.2How long the warranty lasts
Bosch warrants that the Product is free from defects in materials and workmanship for a period of three hundred and sixty-five (365) days from the date of the original delivery. The foregoing timeline begins to run upon the date of the original delivery, 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, chips, dents, or other damage to the finish) of the Product, for a period of thirty (30) days from the date of delivery 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.
20.3Extended 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 (excludes labor charges).

20.4Repair/replace as your exclusive remedy
During this warranty period, Bosch 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 Bosch will replace your Product (upgraded models may be available to you, in Bosch’s sole discretion, for an additional charge). Nothing in this warranty requires damaged or defective parts to be replaced with parts of a different type or design than the original part. All removed parts and components shall become the property of Bosch 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. Bosch’s sole liability and responsibility hereunder is to repair manufacturerdefective Product only, using a Bosch authorized service provider during normal business hours. For safety and property damage concerns, Bosch highly recommends that you do not attempt to repair the Product yourself, or use a non-authorized service provider; Bosch will have no responsibility or liability for damage resulting from repairs or work performed by a non-authorized service provider. Authorized service providers are those persons or companies that have been specially trained on Bosch products, and who possess, in Bosch’s opinion, a superior reputation for customer service and technical ability (note that they are independent entities and are not agents, partners, affiliates or representatives of Bosch). Nevertheless, taking your product to be serviced by a repair shop that is not affiliated with or an authorized dealer of Bosch will not void this warranty. Also, using third-party parts will not void this warranty. 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
38

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.
