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.

Figure 1.

BEFORE USING FOR THE FIRST TIME Before beginning to use your dishwasher for the first time:

1. Check to make sure that the voltage on which the dishwasher is to operate is the same as shown on the rating plate.

2. Check to make sure that the water valve to the dishwasher is open. The installer may have closed the valve upon completing the installation.

3. Thoroughly inspect unit for cosmetic damage. Cosmetic damage must be reported within 5 days.

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 OPERATION.

4. Close the door of the dishwasher.

Make sure that the door is completely closed and latched.

5. Select a wash cycle, see Table 2, and depress the

corresponding cycle button, see Figure 2

T\im “Start and Run Knob” to “START’ and depress the On/Off button. The indicator light above On/Off button will become illuminated and the the dishwasher will start. The “Start and Run Knob" will rotate clockwise as the dishwasher cycle progresses. By noting where the knob is poindng to it is possible to discern where in the cycle the dishwasher is at any time.

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.
