IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING — When using your dishwasher, basic safety precautions should always be followed to
reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, and/or injury to persons, including the following;
1. Bosch dishwashers are provided with two manuals; one. Installation Instruction Manual and
one. Care and Use Manual. Read all instructions before using the dishwasher.
2. Use the dishwasher only for its intended function.
3. Use only detergents or wetting agents recommended fcu' use in a dishwasher and keep them out
of the reach of children.
4. When loading items to be washed:
a. Locate sharp items so that they are not likely to damage the door seal,
and
b. Load sharp knives with the handle up to reduce the risk of cut-type injuries,
5. Do not wash plastic items unless marked “dishwasher safe” or the equivalent For plastic items
not so marired, check the manufacturer’s recommendations.
6. Do not touch the heating element during or immediately after use.
7. Do not operate your dishwasher unless all the enclosure panels are properly in place.
8. Do not tamper with controls.
9. Do not abuse, sit on, or stand on the door or dish rack of the dishwasher.
10. To reduce the risk of injury, do not allow children to play in or on the dishwasher.
11. Under certain conditions, hydrogen gas may be produced in a hot water system that has not
been used for two weeks or more. Hydrogen gas is explosive. If the hot water system has not
been used for such a period, before using the dishwasher turn on all hot water faucets and let
the water flow from each for several minutes. This will release any accumulated hydrogen gas.
As the gas is flammable, do not smoke or use an open flame during this time.
12. Remove the door to the washing compartment when removing an old dishwasher from service
or discarding.

GETTING STARTED
The operation of your Bosch dishwasher is summarized
below:
1. Load the dishwasher.
Refer to Table 1 for items suitable for washing in the
dishwasher. The dishwasher should be loaded with
pots, pans, dishes and silverware according to the
instructions provided under the following section
titled LOADING.
2. Add detergent and check rinse agent.
Detergent must be placed in the detergent dispenser
compartment as described in the following section
titled DETERGENT USE. The use of a rinse agent is
required to ensure good cleaning and drying result.
See section titled RINSE AGENT DISPENSER.
3. Check motion of wash arms.
The wash arms must be free to move and should not
be blocked by any item extending so far above lower
rack as to block upper arm or by any items hanging
below either the upper or lower rack to obstruct the
motion of the wash arms. See following section titled

PREPARATIONS FOR WASHING
Very little preparation is required before placing dishes,
pots, pans, etc. into the dishwasher. However, some
preparation is required:
• Large solids, such as, bones, large seeds, shells, skins,
leafy vegetables, meat trimmings, etc. should be
removed either by scraping into a wastebasket, or into
your food disposer.
• Large amounts of any type of leftover food should
also be scraped into a wastebasket or into your food
disposer.
• Pots and pans that have bumed-on food, the food is
blackened, should be pre-soaked and scoured. The
dishwasher cannot remove J)umed-on food.
• Do not place the following items in the dishwasher:
> toothpicks
> small bones and bone slivers
> paper products such as paper plates and paper
napkins
> plastic bags or plastic packaging material.
In general, try to remove food scraps and place the items
to be washed in the dishwasher before the food has had a
chance to dry-on. Dried-on food is more difficult to
remove. If there will be an extended period of time before
the dishwasher will be run it is recommended that the
RINSE & HOLD cycle be used.
Other than the above, no special preparation or pre-rinsing
is required for dishes, pots and pans or utensils with
normal amounts of food soil.
