9 IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

READ AND SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

(

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS This dishwasher is provided with

Installation Instructions and this Use and Care Manual. Read and understand all instructions before using the dishwasher.

This dishwasher is intended for use up to a maximum altitude of

13,000 ft (4,000 meters) above sea level.

To reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock, or serious injury, observe the following:

Risk of fire, electrical shock, or serious injury

9 WARNING

RISK OF INJURY OR DEATH!

Misuse of the dishwasher can result in serious injury or death.

Do not use the dishwasher in any way not covered in this manual or for any purpose other than those explained in the following pages.

9 WARNING

RISK OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK

OR FIRE!

Electrical shock or fire could result if the electrical supply for the dishwasher covered in this manual is incorrectly installed or if the dishwasher has been improperly grounded. Do not use the dishwasher covered in this manual unless you are certain the electrical supply has been correctly installed and the dishwasher has been properly grounded.

9 WARNING

RISK OF INJURY!

Severe injury and/or product damage could result from the use of unauthorized service technicians or non-original replacement parts. All repairs must be performed by an authorized service technician using only original equipment factory replacement parts.

9 WARNING

RISK OF EXPLOSION!

■

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.

Before using a dishwasher that is connected to a hot water system that has been unused for two weeks or longer, 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 explosive, do not smoke or use an open flame during this time.

When cleaning your dishwasher with any cleaning agent, remove all cookware, utensils or any foreign material from inside.

Some cleaning agents are highly acidic and/or caustic alkaline, which can cause



9 hydrogen gas to form if aluminum material is also inside the dishwasher tub.


Refer to the Care and

Maintenance section of the dishwasher Use and Care manual for instructions on how to properly clean your dishwasher.

WARNING

HEALTH HAZARD!

Never use harsh chemicals to clean your dishwasher. Some bleach-based products can damage your dishwasher and may present health hazards!

9 WARNING

RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK!

This appliance must be grounded. In the event of a malfunction or breakdown, grounding will reduce the risk of electric shock by providing a path of least resistance for electric current. This appliance is equipped with a cord having an equipment-grounding conductor.

Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor can result in risk of electric shock. Check with a qualified electrician if you are in doubt whether the appliance is properly grounded.

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

This appliance must be grounded to a 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. See the

Installation Instructions included with this dishwasher for more information on electrical requirements.

Safe Operation

Use this dishwasher only for its intended function, which is the washing of household dishware and kitchenware rated as dishwasher safe.

Use only detergents or rinsing agents recommended for use in a dishwasher, and keep them out of the reach of children.

9 CAUTION

When loading items to be washed:

■

Locate sharp items so they are not likely to damage the

■ door seal.

Load knives and other sharp utensils with their HANDLES

UP to reduce the risk of cut-type injuries.

Do not wash plastic items unless they are marked

“dishwasher safe” or the equivalent. For plastic items not so marked, check the manufacturer’s recommendations.

Do not operate your dishwasher unless all enclosure panels are in place.

Do not tamper with or override controls and interlocks.

Do not abuse, sit or stand on the door or dish racks of the dishwasher.

9 WARNING

RISK OF INJURY!

To avoid risk of injury, always use caution when opening the door during or following a wash cycle as hot water or steam may escape. Do not fully open the door until water noises have stopped and steam has subsided.

9 WARNING

CHILD SAFETY!

■

To reduce risk of injury, do

■ not allow children to play in or on the dishwasher.

When children become old enough to operate the appliance, it is the responsibility of the parents/legal guardians to ensure the children are instructed in safe practices by qualified persons.

NSF/ANSI 184 Certified residential dishwashers are not intended for licensed food establishments.

Proper Care and Maintenance

Remove the dishwasher door to the washing compartment when removing an old dishwasher for service or discarding.

To avoid floor damage and possible mold growth, do not allow wet areas to remain around or under the dishwasher.

Note: To avoid dishwasher damage, do not allow water to remain in your dishwasher systems through extended periods of freezing temperatures. Freezing temperatures can damage the water fill valve and potentially other components of your dishwasher.

Water softening system / special salt

Water softening system / special salt

To ensure good rinsing results, the dishwasher requires soft water, i.e. water which is low in lime, otherwise limescale will be deposited on the utensils and interior container. Tap water above 7° dH (1.2 mmol/l) must be softened. The water is softened with special salt

(regeneration salt) in the water softening system of the dishwasher.

The setting and therefore the required amount of salt depends on the degree of hardness of your tap water (see following water hardness table).

Using a “Water Hardness

Test Strip”

The strip will be included in the use and care kit.

Sample test strip

Follow the instructions below for the included test strip. (If purchasing a different test strip, follow manufacturers instructions).

1.

Run the water at the kitchen sink for 5 minutes.

2.

Dip the end of the test strip with the colored squares into the tap water for 1 second and shake off excess water.

3.

After one minute, compare the test strip to the chart on the test strip packaging and determine the Dishwasher Water Softener setting (see below).

4.

Adjust the dishwasher Water

Softener setting.

5.

If required, add salt to the dishwasher salt chamber as shown.

Use only detergent specifically designed for dishwashers. For best results, use fresh powdered dishwashing detergent or detergent tabs.

NOTICE

To avoid damage to dishwasher or dishware:

■

Do not use hand dishwashing products in your dishwasher.

■

■

Do not use too much detergent if your water is soft. Using too much detergent with soft water may cause etching in glassware and fine china.

To best protect glassware, use a wash cycle with low temperatures or a specific glass-care cycle

(depending on the model) and use a detergent that includes etch protection.

This dishwasher uses less water than most, therefore, less detergent is required. With soft water,

1 tablespoon (15 ml) of detergent will clean most loads. The detergent dispenser cup has lines that measure detergent to 1 tablespoon (15 ml) and 1.75 tablespoons (25 ml).

3 tablespoons (45 ml) of detergent will completely fill the detergent dispenser.

Note: If you do not know the hardness of your water supply, use

15 ml of detergent. Increase the amount if necessary to the least amount required to get your kitchenware clean.

Use the measuring lines in the detergent dispenser cup as a guide to measure the amount of detergent recommended in the following table.

AquaSensor

The AquaSensor is an optical measuring device which measures the cleanliness of the rinse water.

The AquaSensor is used according to the wash cycle. If the AquaSensor is active, “clean” rinse water can be transferred to the next rinse and water consumption can be reduced by 0.8–1-5 gal (3–6 liters). If the rinse water is not yet clear, the water is drained and is replaced with fresh water. In the automatic wash cycles the temperature and running time can also be adjusted to the degree of soiling.

Time display

The wash cycle time is determined during the wash cycle by the water temperature, the amount of dishes, as well as the degree of soiling and may vary (depending on the selected wash cycle). You can change the time display into time of day or hours/minutes so that the remaining cycle time of the wash cycle appears in the display window “Finish at” (for example 15:20 o’clock) or “Finish in”

(for example 3:25 hours).

Sensor setting

The wash cycle sequence is optimized in Auto wash cycles with the aid of sensors. The sensors adjust the wash cycle strength of

Auto wash cycles depending on the amount and type of soiling. You can adjust the sensitivity of the sensors in

3 stages.

Standard: This setting is recommend for daily regular or typical use. This is the most energy efficient setting.

Sensitive: This setting adjusts the wash cycle strength for the effective removal of food remnants, even if the amount of soiling is low. The energy

Operating the Dishwasher en-us and water consumption is increased accordingly.

Very sensitive: This setting adjusts the wash cycle strength for difficult conditions of use, for example firmly dried on food remnants. This setting is recommended if using biological or eco detergents which contain lower amounts of active agents. The energy and water consumption is increased accordingly.

Extra Dry

The final rinse uses a higher temperature which improves the drying result. The cycle time may increase slightly. (Caution if utensils are delicate!) You can switch the

Extra Dry function on or off. There is a slight increase in energy consumption.

Eco forecast

When Eco forecast is activated, the average water and energy consumption of the selected wash cycle is briefly displayed in the digital display @ .

Auto power off

This setting determines the length of time the control panel stays illuminated after the cycle is complete.

To save energy, the recommended setting is “after one minute”.

Possible settings are:

■ off: The appliance does not

Care and Maintenance

A regular inspection and maintenance of your machine will help to prevent faults. This saves time and prevents future problems.

Cleaning the dishwasher

■

■

■

■

■

Regularly wipe the front of the appliance with a damp cloth - water and a small amount of liquid soap is adequate.

For black stainless steel and anti-fingerprint surfaces, use a soft, dry towel. For stubborn dirt, use warm water diluted with a non-abrasive, mild cleansing soap. Never use stainless steel polish.

For stainless steel appliances

(excluding black stainless and anti-fingerprint), use a stainless steel polish to seal and protect the surface.

Clean the outer edges of the inside door panel regularly to remove debris that may collect from normal loading. If spots begin to appear on the stainless steel, make sure the rinse aid dispenser is full and functioning properly.

Clean the door seal regularly with a damp cloth to remove food particles that may collect from normal loading and cause odor. A soiled door seal may not seal properly.

NOTICE

■

■

Never use a steam cleaner to clean your dishwasher. The manufacturer is not liable for any resulting damage.

Do not use sponges as they could scratch the surfaces.

en-us Care and Maintenance

Filters

The Bosch ® filter system 1j is designed to prevent the need to pre-rinse normally attached food soils from your dishes. Simply scrape leftover food soils off of dishware before loading. This process will conserve time, water and the energy require to heat your household water supply.

Your dishwasher filter system is designed to filter 100% of the water entering the spray arms to provide a continuous supply of clean water to remove food soils from your dishware.

Filter components

The filter system 1j consists of three parts.

$

%

&

A Large Object Trap

Prevents objects that should not be placed in your dishwasher from damaging the dishwasher pump system or clogging your household drain.

B Flat Fine Filter

Prevents food particles from entering the wash chamber and directs particles toward the micro filter.

C Micro Filter

Directs the smallest of particles to the household plumbing drain.

Cleaning intervals

The filter system 1j is designed to minimize maintenance while providing premium cleaning performance and minimum energy consumption.

Depending on use habits and water hardness, the filter system will require some maintenance to sustain premium cleaning performance.

Your filter system may need to be cleaned when:

■

You notice food soils remaining on the filter system or objects

■ trapped in the Large Object Trap.

A drop in cleaning performance or a gritty film forms on the dishware.

When washing normally attached food soils that have been scraped before loading, in a household that runs the dishwasher every other day, your filter should be cleaned:

Cleaning interval Usage

3-6 times a year light to average use

8-12 times a year heavy use

Note: Clean the filter system after washing loads with large amounts of food soils or loads with a heavy starch content, like potatoes and pasta, to maintain optimal performance.

46

To check or clean the filter system:

1.

Unscrew the Large Object Trap as illustrated and remove the entire filter system.

2.

Remove the microfilter from the fine filter for easier cleaning.


Spray arms

Check spray arms 1: , 1Z for grease and limescale deposits. If you find such deposits:

■

Fill detergent dispenser 9: with

■

■ detergent and start the appliance without utensils in the cycle with the highest rinsing temperature.

~ "Wash Cycle Information" on page 38

Clean the appliance with detergents/appliance cleaners which are particularly suitable for use with dishwashers.

Unscrew the upper spray arm

1: and pull off the lower spray

1Z arm as shown. Inspect for deposits.

3.

Rinse the filters under running water and use a soft brush to clean.

4.

Reinstall the filter system in reverse sequence and lock into place by screwing the Large

Object Trap until the marking arrows align.

Repair/Replace as Your

Exclusive Remedy

During this warranty period, Bosch or one of its authorized service providers will repair your Product without charge to you (subject to certain limitations stated herein) if your Product proves to have been manufactured with a defect in materials or workmanship.
