important Safety instructions

Misuse of the dishwasher can result in serious injury or death. Do not use the

dishwasher in any way not covered in this

manual or for any purpose other than those explained on the following pages.

Severe product damage and/or injury could result from the use of unqualified service

technicians or non-original replacement

parts, All repairs must be performed by a qualified service technician using only

original equipment factory replacement parts.

Never use steam cleaning products to clean your dishwasher, The manufacturer

will not be liable for possible damages or

consequences.

Never use harsh chemicals to clean your

- Locate sharp items so that they are not likely to damage the door seal.

- Load knives and other sharp utensils with their HANDLES UP to reduce the

risk of cut-type injuries.

• Do not wash plastic items unless they are marked "dishwasher safe" or the equivalent.

For plastic items not so marked, check the

manufacturer's recommendations.

- Do not operate your dishwasher unless all enclosure panels are in place.

Adding Detergent and Rinse Agent

Detergent

To avoid dishwasher damage, do not use hand dishwashing products in your

dishwasher.

Use only detergent specifically designed for dishwashers. For best results, use fresh

powdered dishwashing detergent. This dishwasher uses less water so you need to

use less detergent. With soft water, 1 tablespoon (15ml) of detergent will clean most loads. The detergent dispenser cup has lines that measure detergent to 1 tablespoon (15ml) and 1.75 tablespoons (25ml). 3 tablespoons (45ml) of detergent will completely fill the detergent dispenser cup.

To avoid dishware damage, do not use too much detergent if your water supply is soft.

Using too much detergent in soft water may cause etching in glassware.

NOTE: If you do not know the hardness of your water supply, use 15ml of detergent. Increase the amount of detergent, if necessary, to the least amount required to get your dishware and

kitchenware clean.

Filling the Detergent Dispenser

Fill the dispenser cup as recommend in Table 1. (See Figure 11 for additional information.) To close, slide the detergent dispenser cover in the direction shown in Figure 12 and press it down firmly so the cover snaps shut.

Self Help

Dishwashers may occasionally exhibit problems

that are unrelated to a malfunction of the dishwasher itself. The following information may

help you with a dishwasher problem without you having to call a repair person.

Dishes do not dry The rinse agent dispenser may be empty. Check the rinse-aid dispenser and refill it if necessary.

Dishware drying can be accelerated and enhanced by opening the dishwasher door slightly and propping it open with the top rack.

indicator light(s) do not come on A fuse may have blown or a circuit breaker tripped. Check the fuse or circuit breaker at your fuse box/breaker box and replace the fuse or

reset the breaker if necessary.

Dishwasher does not start The dishwasher door may not be properly shut.

Make certain the dishwasher door is shut and

latched.

Dishwasher runs a long time

If the dishwasher completes the cycle, but the run time seems exceptionally long, it may be due to cold incoming water. Before starting the dishwasher, open the hot water faucet at the sink

nearest the dishwasher. Run the water until it

runs hot, then turn off the water and start the dishwasher.

Water not pumped from dishwasher Make certain the drain hose isn't kinked, clogged, or improperly installed. Make certain a portion of

the drain hose is at least 20 inches above the dishwasher's enclosure floor (see the Installation

Manual). Filters may be clogged. Make certain the filter system isn't clogged (see the Care and Maintenance section of this manual). The kitchen sink drain may be clogged; you may need a plumber rather than a serviceman for the dishwasher. If an air gap is installed at sink, it may be clogged.

Detergent dispenser cover will not shut You may not be correctly shutting the detergent dispenser cover, or a cycle was not finished and should be cancelled. Go to the Adding Detergent and Rinse Agent section of this manual for instructions on shutting the detergent dispenser cover. Go to the Operating the Dishwasher

section of this manual for instructions on canceling a cycle.

Streaks on glassware Too much rinse agent is being dispensed. Go to the Adding Detergent and Rinse Agent section of this manual for instructions on decreasing the amount of rinse agent dispensed.

Rattling noises Utensils may not be properly arranged.

Machine cycle does not advance to rinse

NOTE: The Installation Manual that came with your dishwasher will help you with the following

instructions. The water supply line may be shut off. Check the water supply valve and open it if it's

shut.

White spots left on dishes

More rinse agent is needed. Go to theAdding

Detergent and Rinse Agent section of this manual for instructions on increasing the amount of rinse agent dispensed.

Suds in dishwasher You may have used the wrong type of

dishwashing detergent. Use only automatic dishwasher detergents.

Unsatisfactory washing results

• Incorrect amount of detergent.

• Utensils incorrectly arranged or rack

overloaded.

• Spray arm rotation blocked by utensils.

• Spray arm nozzles need cleaning.

• Filters not properly fitted into position.

• Unsuitable cycle selected.

Wash Cycle information

NOTE: To save energy, this dishwasher has a "Smart Control" that automatically adjust the cycle based on soil loads and incoming water temperature. The "Smart Control" makes decisions that can cause the cycle time and water usage to adjust at discrete times, and suddenly change in midcycle. The cycle times listed

in the Use and Care manual are based on normal soil loads and 120°F incoming water and will vary based on your actual conditions.

THE NSF SYMBOL

A dishwasher or a dishwasher cycle that has the NSF symbol has been certified by the NSF International to

meet very strict requirements of wash time and water temperature to ensure dishware and kitchenware sanitization. These requirements are explained in the document NSF/ANSI 184, Residential Dishwashers.

More information on NSF Certification is available at the NSF website, http://www.nsfconsumer.org/home/ appliances.asp.

Your dishwasher is NSF certified. The dishwasher cycles that are NSF certified are shown in the chart above. When these cycles are complete, the "Sanitized" indicator on your dishwasher control panel will

illuminate.

NOTE: If your household water supply is too hot, your dishwasher's heating time may be reduced and the "Sanitized" light or symbol may not illuminate. Your Dishwasher Installation Manual has information on the

recommended temperature for your household hot water supply.

Statement of Limited Product Warranty

Bosch Dishwashers

What this Warranty Covers & Who it Applies to: The limited warranty provided BSH Home Appliances

("Bosch") 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: (1) for your normal, household (non-

commercial) use, and has in fact at all times only been used for normal household purposes; (2) new at retail

(not a display, "as is", or previously returned model), and not for resale, or commercial use; and (3) 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 Bosch to notify you in the unlikely event of a safety notice or product recall.

How Long the Warranty Lasts: Bosch warrants that the Product isfree from defects in materials and workmanship for a period of three hundred sixty five (365) days (i.e., 1year) 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. Labor and shipping costs are included in this basic coverage.

Extended Limited Warranty: Bosch also provides these additional limited warranties:

• 2 Year Limited Warranty: Bosch will repair or replace any component that proves to be defective in materials or workmanship (excludes labor charges).

• 5 Year Limited Warranty on Electronics: Bosch will repair or replace any Bosch microprocessor or printed circuit board if it proves to be defective in materials or workmanship (excludes labor charges).

o 5 Year Limited Warranty on Dish Racks: Bosch will replace the upper or lower dish rack (excluding

rack components), ifthe rack proves defective in materials or workmanship (excludes labor charges).

• Lifetime Warranty against Stainless Steel Rust Through: Bosch will replace your dishwasher with

the same model or a current model that is substantially equivalent or better in functionality, if the inner

liner should rust through (excludes labor charges). Bosch will replace the stainless steel door if the door should rust through (excludes labor charges).

The foregoing timeline begins to run upon the date of purchase, and shall not be stalled, tolled, extended, or

suspended, for any reason whatsoever. RepairlReplace 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). 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

manufacturer-defective 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 an un=authorized servicer; Bosch 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 WILLAUTOMATICALLY BECOME NULLAND VOID.

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 notagents, partners, affiliates or representatives of Bosch).

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; inany 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.

Out of Warranty Product: Bosch is under no obligation, at law or otherwise, to provide you with any concessions, including repairs, pro-rates, or Product replacement, once this warranty has expired.
