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.
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!

Proper Care and Maintenance
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.
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.
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.
NOTICE
It is highly recommended for the end
user to become familiar with the
procedure to shut off the incoming
water supply and the procedure to
shut off the incoming power supply.
See the Installation Instructions or
contact your installer for more
information.

+ Water softening
system / special salt
Your water hardness level directly
impacts your dishwasher’s
performance. Hard water will
increase spotting and reduce
detergent performance. Some
dishwasher models are equipped
with a water softener that uses a
special salt to adjust the water
hardness to obtain optimal
performance. The dishwasher salt is
added to the salt chamber 1Z
located under the lower dishwasher
rack. The amount of salt that is
dispensed is based on your home
water hardness. The home water
hardness can be determined by
using the water hardness test strip
included in your manual set (or from
your local hardware store). The
dishwasher water softener setting
must be adjusted to match your
water hardness.
Instructions for use of
included “Water Hardness
Test Strip”
Only use salt designed for automatic
dishwashers. Never use household
water softener salt or table salt.
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 below and
determine the Dishwasher Water
Softener setting.
4.
Adjust the dishwasher Water
Softener setting. ~ "Adjusting

This ensures that overrun special salt
solution is immediately washed out
and does not corrode the rinsing tub.
NOTICE
Detergent will destroy the water
softening system! Never pour
detergent into the salt dispenser.
Top off the salt as follows:
1.
Undo the screw plug on the
dispenser 1Z.
2.
Fill the dispenser with water
(required only when switching on
the appliance for the first time).

The Double Flex silverware basket
This basket splits along its length,
resulting in two halves that may be
placed in a variety of positions in the
lower rack 9", greatly increasing
the lower rack’s loading versatility.
The basket snaps together either
side by side or back to back.
To split the Double Flex silverware
basket:
Grasp the basket and slide the two
halves in opposite directions and
then pull the two halves apart.
Side by side
Back to back
To assemble the Double Flex
silverware basket:
Hold the two halves side by side or
back to back, so that the tab on one
basket can slip into the notch on the
other basket. Push the two halves in
opposite directions until they click.
Note: The silverware basket lid may

silverware drawer has been removed,
or with excess silverware, a
silverware basket is also included.
When loading the silverware basket
you should avoid excessive contact
points and nesting of similar items
(allowing two spons to rest inside
one another).
A good way to avoid excessive
contact points is to load the
silverware basket with the lids
closed, inserting each piece of
silverware into one of the individual
slots as shown.

Detergent
Use only detergent specifically
designed for dishwashers. For best
results, use fresh powdered
dishwashing detergent or detergent
tabs.
NOTICE
To avoid dishwasher damage:
■ 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.
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.

1.
If the detergent dispenser 92 is
still closed, push the button 9:
to open it.
Note: Make sure the detergent
dispenser is dry and clear of
detergent residue.
2.
Pour detergent into the dry
detergent dispenser 92 only.
Add detergent. Do not overfill the
detergent dispenser.
When using detergent tabs, lay
them such that they do not come
in contact with the cover, insert a
detergent tab flat, not on its side.
Note: Do not place detergent
tabs or utensils in the detergent
tab tray 1B. Place tabs or other
detergent forms directly in the
detergent dispenser 92.
Dosage: see manufacturer’s
instructions on the packaging.
3.
Close the lid by placing the finger
on the lid as shown. Slide the lid
closed and press down firmly until
it clicks.
The detergent dispenser will open
automatically at the ideal time for
the set cycle. The powder or liquid
detergent is distributed in the
appliance and is dissolved,
detergent tabs will fall into the
detergent tab tray 1B where it
dissolves during the cycle.
Tip: If the dishware is only lightly
soiled, slightly less than the indicated
amount of detergent is usually
adequate.

Dishwasher Cycle Options
Delay
Allows you to delay the start time of
your dishwasher up to 24 hours.
Half Load
Can reduce water consumption when
washing small, lightly soiled loads
that fill approximately half of the
dishwasher’s capacity.
Delicate
This option’s reduced time and
temperature are best for lightly soiled
items with easy to remove food soils.
The option also reduces the
likelihood of cloudy glasses. Rinse
aid is recommended for the high
gloss drying function (even when
using combination detergents).
Sanitize
Increases the temperatures and
retains them for an extra long time to
obtain a defined disinfecting
performance. Continuous use of this
function increases the hygiene status.
This additional option is ideal for
cleaning items such as chopping
boards and baby bottles.
Using the Sanitize option may also
improve drying. The cycle time and
energy usage may be increased.
Extra Dry
Used in combination with a wash
cycle (except Rinse), the Extra Dry
option raises the temperature and
extends the drying time to further
enhance drying results and provide a
brilliant shine. The energy usage may
be increased.
ExtraScrub
This option increases pressure and

Wash Cycle Information
To save energy, this dishwasher has
EcoSense where the sensors in the
dishwasher automatically adjust the
cycle length, temperature and water
changes based on the amount of
food soil and the incoming water
temperature. The “Smart Control”
makes decisions that can cause the
cycle time and water usage to adjust
intermittently. Wash cycle times are
based on 120°F (49° C) water
supply. If your household water
supply is different than 120°F
(49° C), your dishwasher’s cycle
times may be impacted.

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.
Protection against
unintentional operation
Your dishwasher is equipped with a
function that helps to prevent
unintentional operation (e.g. by
children).
After setting the dishwasher, the
dishwasher door has to be closed
within 4 seconds, otherwise the
operation will be paused. There will
be a signal on the control panel
advising you to press the Start button
again and close the door.
This function will be activated when:
■ pressing Start to begin a wash
cycle
■ setting Delay time and pressing
Start
■ opening the door while Delay time
is active
■ opening the door during a wash
cycle.
Note: This function cannot be
deactivated.
Operating the touch buttons
Buttons are sensitive and should be
touched gently. Avoid any grease or
food particles resting on the buttons
as they could activate the
dishwasher.
Wiping and cleaning can also
activate the dishwasher. For best
results, use bare, clean hands when
touching the buttons.
To clean the touch buttons wipe them
with a dry or slightly damp cloth.
AquaSensor
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.

Overall condition of the
dishwasher
NOTICE
■ Never use a steam cleaner to
clean your dishwasher. The
manufacturer is not liable for any
resulting damage.
■ Regularly wipe the front of the
appliance with a damp cloth -
water and a small amount of
liquid soap is adequate. Do not
use sponges as they could
scratch the surfaces.
■ Do not use bleach-based wipes
as they could damage the surface
or printing.
■ Stainless steel appliances: To
prevent corrosion, do not use
sponges or chlorine based
cleaners. Use a stainless steel
polish to seal and protect the
surface. Do not use chlorine
based cleaners or wipes.
■ 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 agent 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.
9 WARNING
Use caution when removing
parts for cleaning as some
debris may be sharp.
Filters
The Bosch
®
filter system 1b 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 1b 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.

Cleaning intervals
The filter system 1b 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:
Note: Clean the filter after washing
loads with large amounts of food
soils or loads with a heavy starch
content, like potatoes and pasta, to
maintain optimal performance.
To check or clean the filter system:
1.
Unscrew the Large Object Trap as
illustrated and remove the entire
filter system.
2.
Remove any residue and clean
filters by rinsing under running
water. Note: do not use abrasive
brushes or steel wool, etc., as
they may damage the filter.
3.
Reinstall the filter system in
reverse sequence and lock into
place by screwing the Large
Object Trap until the marking
arrows align.
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 interval Use this setting,
3-6 times a year if you rinse before
loading
4-12 times a year if you only scrape
before loading
12 times a year if you have hard water

Product Warranty
Statement of Limited Product Warranty
What this Warranty Covers
& Who it Applies to:
The limited warranty provided by
BSH Home Appliances Corporation
(BSH) in this Statement of Limited
Product Warranty applies only to
Bosch® dishwashers (“Product”)
sold to you, the first using purchaser,
provided that the Product was
purchased:
■ for your normal, household
(non-commercial) use, and has in
fact at all times only been used
for normal household purposes;
■ new at retail (not a display, “as
is”, or previously returned model),
and not for resale, or commercial
use; and
■ within the United States or
Canada, and has at all times
remained within the country of
original purchase. The warranties
stated herein apply only to the
first purchaser of the Product and
are not transferable.
Please make sure to return your
registration card; while not necessary
to effectuate warranty coverage, it is
the best way for BSH to notify you in
the unlikely event of a safety notice or
product recall.
How Long the Warranty
Lasts
BSH warrants that the Product is free
from defects in materials and
workmanship for a period of three
hundred sixty five (365) days from
the date of purchase. The foregoing
timeline begins to run upon the date
of purchase, and shall not be stalled,
tolled, extended, or suspended, for
any reason whatsoever.
This Product is also warranted to be
free from cosmetic defects in
material and workmanship (such as
scratches of stainless steel,
paint/porcelain blemishes, chip,
dents, or other damage to the finish
of the Product), for a period of thirty
(30) days from the date of purchase
or closing date for new construction.
This cosmetic warranty excludes
slight color variations due to inherent
differences in painted and porcelain
parts, as well as differences caused
by kitchen lighting, product location,
or other similar factors. This
cosmetic warranty specifically
excludes any display, floor, “As Is”,
or “B” stock appliances.
Extended Limited Warranty
BSH also provides these additional
limited warranties:
■ 5 year limited warranty on
electronics: BSH will repair or
replace any BSH microprocessor
or printed circuit board if it proves
to be defective in materials or
workmanship (excludes labor
charges).
■ 5 year limited warranty on dish
racks: BSH will replace the upper
or lower dish rack (excluding rack
components), if the rack proves
defective in materials or
workmanship (excludes labor
charges).
■ Lifetime warranty against stainless
steel rust through: BSH will repair
or replace your dishwasher with
the same model or a current
model that is substantially
equivalent or better in
functionality, if the inner liner
should rust through (excludes
labor charges).
■ BSH will repair or replace the
stainless steel door if the door
should rust through (excludes
labor charges).

Repair/Replace as Your
Exclusive Remedy
During this warranty period, BSH 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. If
reasonable attempts to repair the
Product have been made without
success, then BSH will replace your
Product (upgraded models may be
available to you, in the sole discretion
of BSH, for an additional charge). All
removed parts and components shall
become the property of BSH at its
sole option. All replaced and/or
repaired parts shall assume the
identity of the original part for
purposes of this warranty and this
warranty shall not be extended with
respect to such parts. BSH’s sole
liability and responsibility hereunder
is to repair manufacturer-defective
Product only, using a BSH-authorized
service provider during normal
business hours. For safety and
property damage concerns, BSH
highly recommends that you do not
attempt to repair the Product
yourself, or use an unauthorized
servicer; BSH will have no
responsibility or liability for repairs or
work performed by a non-authorized
servicer. If you choose to have
someone other than an authorized
service provider work on your
Product, THIS WARRANTY WILL
AUTOMATICALLY BECOME NULL
AND VOID. Authorized service
providers are those persons or
companies that have been specially
trained on BSH products, and who
possess, in the opinion of BSH, a
superior reputation for customer
service and technical ability (note
that they are independent entities
and are not agents, partners,
affiliates or representatives of BSH).
Notwithstanding the foregoing, BSH
will not incur any liability, or have
responsibility, for the Product if it is
located in a remote area (more than
100 miles from an authorized service
provider) or is reasonably
inaccessible, hazardous, threatening,
or treacherous locale, surroundings,
or environment; in any such event, if
you request, BSH would still pay for
labor and parts and ship the parts to
the nearest authorized service
provider, but you would still be fully
liable and responsible for any travel
time or other special charges by the
service company, assuming they
agree to make the service call.
Out of Warranty Product
BSH is under no obligation, at law or
otherwise, to provide you with any
concessions, including repairs,
pro-rates, or Product replacement,
once this warranty has expired.
Warranty Exclusions
The warranty coverage described
herein excludes all defects or
damage that are not the direct fault
of BSH, including without limitation,
one or more of the following:

other than its normal, customary

without limitation, any form of
commercial use, use or storage of
an indoor product outdoors, use
of the Product in conjunction with
air or water-going vessels);

In no event shall BSH have any
