Choosing the Location

Select a locationas close to the sink as
possibleforready accesstowater and drain

lines.
Most of the installation work is done before

the dishwasher is moved into place.

Any built-in dishwasher must be fully
enclosed on the top, both sides and back.
Therefore the cabinet space below your
counter is probably the best location.

For proper operation and appearance of the

dishwasher, the cabinet opening should be
square and have dimensions as shown in

Figure 5.

(49ram)

Drain Hose

The dishwasher comes with a seven (7)
foot drain hose.

A 1.25" access hole must be made to
allow the drain hose to be run to the

drain connection location.

Hot Water Supply

The hot water line to the dishwasher

must provide between 5 - 120 psi (0.3-

8.27 bars) water pressure.

The hot water heater should be set to
deliver 140°F (60°C) water

temperature to the dishwasher.1
A 3/8" minimum O.D. copper tubing

inlet line is recommended.

All solder connections must be made

before water line is connected to the

dishwasher's inlet water valve. Do not

solder within 6 inches (IS2.4 ram)

of the dishwasher's inlet water
valve,

• Drill a 1" (25.4 mm) diameter access
hole in the cabinet for the water supply
line (Figure 9A).
Run the line to the approximate fill

valve location, as shown in Figure 9A,

To protect against possible rupture of
the fill valve, water lines leading to
the dishwasher, as well as water lines
in the dishwasher MUST be protected
against freezing. If the valve or water
line freezes, flooding may occur. Such
ruptures are not covered by the
warranty.

If no air gap isused and the drain
line is run into a sink or disposer,

the drain line must be elevated to

a point higher than the highest

water ieveJ of the sink to prevent

back siphoning into the
dishwasher,

NOTE: If connection to an air gap is
required by local code, air gap kits are
available from local plumbing sources.
Install the air gap according to the

manufacturer's instructions.

It is recommended that a shut-off valve (not
supplied) be installed in the hot water
supply line in a readily accessible location,
see Figure 9.

Hot water

1. In order to reduce running time, Bosch recommends 140 ° F water inlet

temperature. Your dishwasher will perform equally as well at 120 ° F water

temperature, but the run time will be extended,

Electricam SuppNy

The customer has the responsibility to
ensure that the dishwasher installation is

in compliance with all national and local
electrical codes and ordinances. The

dishwasher shall be installed by a qualified
electrician and properly grounded. The
electrical supply for which the dishwasher

is designed is 120\/, 60 Hz, AC, connected
to a dishwasher-dedicated electrical circuit

with a fuse or breaker rated for ::[5 amps.

If the dishwasher is connected with a food
disposer, a 20 amp (and no higher) fuse or

drcuitbreaker may be used. No other
appliances or outlets should be connected

to the dishwasher supply circuit. Electrical
supply conductors shall be copper only and

shall be minimum #16 AWG. Wire
connectors proper for the size and number

of wires used to connect the dishwasher
to the supply circuit shall be used. Do not

use all-plastic wire connectors. Strip power
supply wires approximately 1/2 inch. Do not

pre-twist wire before applying wire
connector. After installing wire connectors,
gently tug wires to check the integrity of

the connector. Place all wires and
connectors into the power supply box,

and reinstall cover with the screw provided

the installation package.

Cut a :1 (25Amm) diameter hole in the
cabinet (in area of Figure 9 B). For wood
cabinets, sand the hole until smooth.
For metal cabinets, cover the edge with
a grommet.

Run flexible cable (as codes permit) from

junction through hole in cabinet. Cable

should extend 30" (762 mm) from back
wall.

Placing the Dishwasher

The profile strips on the sides of the

dishwasher allow the dishwasher to fit into
a cabinet opening with a width of 23-5/8"

(600 mm) to 244[/8" (613 mm). Before
sliding the dishwasher into the cabinet
opening:

• Straighten the hot water supply line and
the electrical cable (see Figure 11).

• Level & Align (initial adjustments).

• Guide the drain hose carefully (avoiding
kinks in hose) as the dishwasher is slid
into the cabinet opening.

• Make final leveling adjustments (see
FINAL STEPS Section).

• To maintain the dishwasher position and
alignment, first determine which type
of mounting your dishwasher needs:

Top Mount is used for all types of

countertops that will not be damaged
by drilling.

• For a top mount, position the

brackets fiat on each of the top
corners of the dishwasher as

shown in Figure 10A.

Side Mount is used when there is a
granite, marble or other hard natural

surface counter top that could be
damaged by drilling.

• For a side mount, bend the

brackets, then position them as
shown in Figure 10B.

IMPORTANT

]If you wish to change the front panel of
the dishwasher this must be done before

sliding the dishwasher into place.

_Note: Additional accessory door pa-
nels can not be used with SHU 9900

models.

• Drive Mounting Screws (see Figure 3)
through the holes in the brackets. See
Figure 10A or 10B.

• Connect the drain hose, hot water
supply line and electrical connections
as described in the following sections.

solder connections before connecting

the water line to the dishwasher.

Make sure there are no sharp bends or
kinks in the water line which might

restrict water flow.
When connecting threaded pipe use pipe

thread compound or Teflon tape to seal
the connection.

Before connecting the copper hot water
supply line to the dishwasher, it should
be flushed with hot water to clear any
foreign material.

Apply Teflon tape or other pipe sealant

to 90 ° elbow fitting and connect
directly to water inlet valve s .

Turn on the water supply to check for

leaks after making connections.

Accessory Panel Installation SHU Modets

If you have an SHU model and have ordered an accessory panel kit it must be installed

prior to sliding the dishwasher into place. Dimensions of panel size that may be used is
shown in Figure 19.

Panel Installation, SHV Models

If you have an SHV model, a fully integrated model, you will have additional mounting

hardware and a folded template sheet with installation instructions comprised of

pictograms.

Refer to the folded template sheet for information on how to mount the panel. Please

note that one side of the template shows how to mount a one piece panel and the other
side of the template shows how to mount a two piece panel. Be sure of what type

installation you want before proceeding with the installation.

Refer to Figure 20 and Table 3 for guidelines on custom door panel selections.

After deciding if the extension pieces will be used or not refer to the pictograms printed
on the template for proper method of mounting your custom door.

Panel Installation, SHI Hodels

If you have an SHI model, an integrated model, you will have additional mounting

hardware and a folded template sheet with installation instructions comprised of

pictograms. In North America the stainless steel models of the integrated series (SHI
series), have a control panel that is 5-5/16" (135 mm) tall. The stainless steel model
comes with two extension pieces, referred to as the standard and long extension piece

in Table 2: the standard piece is used for drawer heights up to 6" (152mm); the long
extension piece is used for drawer heights greater than 6" (152mm) but 6-7/16" (164mm)
or less. These stainless steel extension pieces are not installed in the control panel. In

the stainless steel models, the two extension pieces are shipped loose and must be

inserted as shown in pictogram 5 on the template sheet.

The purpose of the extension piece is to allow the increase of the control panel height to
try to match the horizontal drawer line of the cabinets. If your drawers are taller than the

"C" dimension shown on Table 2, it is recommended that the extension either be slid in
as far as it will go, or removed and the door made to fit directly below the control panel.
