IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING
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, Use and Care Manual. Read all instructions and understand
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 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 knives and other sharp utensils with handles 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 marked, 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.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS !
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
This appliance must be connected to a grounded metal, permanent wiring system, or an equipment grounding conductor must be run with the circuit conductors and connected to the equipment grounding terminal or lead on the dishwasher.
WARNING — This dishwasher must be grounded in accordance with the National Electrical Code
and/or local codes. Make sure this dishwasher has been properly grounded and installed by a

Pre-Load Preparation
• Remove large particles of food from the
dishes before food has a chance to dry, but
rinsing is not necessary.
Food soils will actually enhance
the detergent’s performance.
• Use the Rinse & Hold cycle if waiting an extended period of time before washing.
• Pre-soak and hand-scour pots and pans with
burned-on or blackened food.
• Do not place foreign objects, such as
toothpicks, paper products, plastic
bags, or packaging materials, into the
dishwasher!
General Loading Tips
• Load dishwasher so water can circulate freely
and reach every part of item.
• Do not allow delicate items to touch - they
could be damaged.
• Place items upside down - so water does not
collect inside of them.
• Place items so that nothing protrudes through
the bottom of the racks - this could block the
rotation of the spray arms.

bottom rack. When in the down position, they
can hold extra large utensils, such as serving
spoons or large knives.
Loading the Top Rack
The upper rack of the dishwasher has been
designed with flexibility in mind. Glasses, cups,
plates, bowls and small pots may be loaded in
many different positions to fit your needs. Figure

LOADING THE DISHWASHER
Standard Top Rack Adjustment
The top rack height of the Bosch dishwashers is
adjustable (in most models.) There is an upper and
lower position for the top rack which is used to
accomodate items with different heights.
How to Adjust the Top Rack
1. Pull out (empty) top rack to the point where
it can be lifted upward.
2. Pull the rack outward and up until rollers
are completely free of channels.
3. Reinsert the rack with the other set of rollers on the channel.
RackMatic Adjustment
(SHU9950 model only)
The top rack height of the Bosch dishwashers is
adjustable. There is an upper and lower position
for the top rack which is used to accomodate items
with different heights.
How to Lower and Raise the Rack:
• First, pull out the top rack.
To Lower Rack
• Press the levers simultaneously (one on the left
and one on the right sides of the rack). Always
hold the sides of the rack on the upper edge,
otherwise it will not drop smoothly (and may dam-
age the utensils).
