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 for use in a dishwasher and keep them out
of the reach of ehildrea.
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 cnt-type injuries.
5. Do not wash plastic items unless marked "dishwasher safe" orthe equivalent. For plastic items
not so marked, cheek 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.

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 burned-on food, the food is
blackened, should be pre-soaked and scoured. The
dishwasher cannot remove burned-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.
