IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS - TO BE READ
WARNING - OBSERVE ALL WARNINGS AND CAUTIONS
These instructions are intended for use by qualified installers only.
In addition to these instructions, the dishwasher shall be installed:
• In accordance with all local codes or, in the absence of a local code,
• In the United States, with the National Electric Code.
• In Canada, with the Canadian Electric Code C22.1 -latest edition/Provincial and
Municipal codes and/or local codes.
Read these installation instructions completely and follow them carefully. They will save you time and
effort and help to ensure safety and optimum dishwasher performance.
CAUTION: If the dishwasher is installed in a location that experiences freezing temperatures (e.g., in a
holiday home), you must drain all the water from the dishwasher’s interior. Turn off the water supply,
disconnect the drain hose, and allow your dishwasher to completely drain into an appropriate receptacle. Water system ruptures that occur as a result of freezing are not covered by warranty.
IMPORT ANT
• The dishwasher drain hose must be installed with a portion of it at least 20” (508mm) off the cabinet
floor; otherwise the dishwasher may not drain properly.
• Bosch dishwashers are intended for residential use only, and should not be used in commercial food
service establishments.
• NEW INSTALLATION - If the dishwasher is a new installation, most of the work must be done
the dishwasher is moved into place.
• REPLACEMENT - If the dishwasher is replacing another dishwasher, check the existing dishwasher
connections for compatibility with the new dishwasher, and replace parts as necessary.
Inspect the Dishwasher
After unpacking the dishwasher and prior to installation, thoroughly inspect the dishwasher for possible freight or cosmetic damage. Report any damage immediately. Cosmetic defects must be reported within 5 days of installation.
NOTE: Do not discard any bags or items that come with the original package until after the entire

ENCLOSURE PREPARATION
WARNING: INJURY HAZARD - Serious injury could result if cabinet work is
performed by unqualified persons. Only
qualified carpenters or cabinetmakers
should perform cabinet work.
NOTE: Thermador dishwashers are designed to be enclosed on the top and both
sides by standard residential kitchen
cabinetry.
Select a location as close to the sink as
possible for easy access to water supply and
drain lines.
For proper dishwasher operation and appearance, ensure that the enclosure is
square and has the dimensions shown in
Figure 2.
If the dishwasher is to be installed in a
corner, make sure that there is adequate
clearance to open the door, as shown in
Figure 3, letter A.

WARNING: ELECTICAL SHOCK/
FIRE HAZARD - Heat from the hot water
supply line can cause electrical cable’s
insulation to break down, presenting risk
of electrical shock or fire. Do not run the
electrical supply cable and the hot water
supply line through the same enclosure
opening.
If the enclosure requires openings for the
electrical supply cable, hot water supply line,
and dishwasher drain hose, place them
within the dimensions shown by the shaded
area of Figure 4 to avoid interference with
the dishwasher frame or other components.
Make the openings for the electrical supply
cable and hot water supply line 1” (25.4mm)
diameter. Make the opening for the dishwasher drain hose 1-1/4” (32mm) diameter.
If the openings are made through wood,
sand them smooth. If the openings are made
through metal, make them large enough to
accomodate grommets or other protective
sheaths with inside diameters of 1”
(25.4mm) for the electrical supply cable and
the hot water supply line, and 1-1/4” (32mm)
for the dishwasher drain hose.
