LOADING THE DISHWASHER

Standard Bottom Rack

Figure 2

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 notcollect inside of them.

• Place items so that nothing prob'udes throughthe bottom of the racks - this could block the

rotation of the spray arms.

ADDING DETERGENT

Selecting the Right Detergent

Use only dishwashing detergent in your Bosch dish-

washer. It is highly recommended to use powder

detergent that DOES NOT contain a drying agent

additive. Use of other types of detergents may re..................

suit in excessive suds. Concentrated detergents

usuallycall for lower usage than standard detergents.

Please refer to Table 2 for recommended detergent

usage.

Filling theDetergent Dispenser

1. Locate the detergent dispenser on the inside

door of the dishwasher (see Figure 1).

2. Open the detergent dispenser cover by push-

ing the release tab.3. Fill dispenser. Refer to Table 2 to determine the

amount of detergent necessary for your waterand wash type. Use the measurement lines in-

side the detergent dispenser as a fill guide.

4. Close dispenser. With fingers on arrow, slide

cover over the detergent chamber and pressdown on the arrow until it clicks shut.

provided with a regulator calibrated from I to 6. (See

Figure 21.) This regulator controls the amount of

rinse agent dispensed. The dishwasher leaves the

factory preset to 4. However,

• if you see streaks, you should turn the

regulator to a lower number.

• if you see water spots,you should turn

the regulator to a higher number.

CARE AND CLEANING

Check Wash Arms

The wash arms should be checked periodically to

ensure that the spray orifices are dear and unob-

structed. If the wash arms require cleaning they

are easy to remove and replace:

1. The lower wash arm simply snaps intoplace. Pull gently upwards to remove it.

The upper wash arm is held in posilJonby a locking nut. Turn the locking ringapproximately 1/8 turn clockwise to re-lease the arm. See Figure 40

3, After cleaning, reinstall the wash arms.

Clean Stainless Steel Tankand Inner Door

Clean the outer edges of the inside door panel

regularly to remove food particles that can gather

there from normal loading. If spots begin to ap-

pear on the stainless steel tank or inner door, check

to make sure that the rinse agent reservoir is full.

Clean Outer DoorColored Doors

Use only soft cloth that is lightly dampened with

soapy water. Do not use paper towels or an abra-sive doth.

Stainless St_l Doom:

Use a soft cloth with a non-abrasive stainless steel

cleaner. For best results, apply stainless steel

cleaner directly to the cloth, then wipe the sur-

face. Do not use metal scouring pads to cleanthe stainless steel surfaces as these can scratch

the surface and leave metal fragments that canrust.

Clean Door GasketClean t_e door gasket regularly to remove food

particles that can gather from normal leading. If

necessary clean the door gasket using a dampcloth.

Rinse-aid dispenser is empty. Fill rinse-aid dispenser.

A fuse may have biown or a circuit breaker tripped. Replace fuse or

reset circuit breaker at your fuse box/breaker box.

Door of dishwasher not properly dosed. Close dishwasher makingsure that door latches.

If the dishwasher completes the cycle, but the run time seems

exceptionally long it is probably due to cold incomingwater. To avoid

this problem it is recommended that before starting the dishwasher:open the hot water faucet at the sink nearest the dishwasher and

run the water until it runs hot. Then turn off the water and start the

dishwasher.

Water line is closed or inlet filter is blocked. Open water valve and/orcheck inlet filter.

Kink in drain hose, Filter clogged. Kitchen sink dogged. Air gap (typeinstalled at sink) clogged. Check drain hose and fine and coarse

filters (see section titled CARE and CLEANING). Check kitchen sink to

make sure it is draining well. If problem is kitchen sink not draining

you may need a plumber rather than a serviceman for the dishwasher.

A program was not completely finished.

Remove lower spray arm and cleanarm and spray arm mounts.

Too little rinse-aid.

Too much rinse-aid used.

Utensils not properly arranged.

Incorrect type of detergent used. Use only automatic dishwasher

detergents.

• Incorrect amount of detergent or rinse agent,

• Utensils incorrectlyarranged or rack overloaded.

• Wash arm rotation blocked by utensils.

• Filters not properly fitted into position.

• Clogged nozzles in wash arm(s)

• Unsuitable program selected.
