¡ for cleaning household dishware.
¡ for normal household use and in enclosed spaces in a residential environment.
¡ Up to an altitude of 13,100 ft (4000 m) above sea level.
1.4 Restrictive use
This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced
physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge,
unless they have been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the
appliance by a person responsible for their safety.

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. Check with a qualified electrician or authorized
service representative if you are in doubt whether the appliance is properly
grounded.
1.6 Safe use

installation manual.
▶ Never expose the appliance to intense heat or humidity.
▶ Do not use any steam cleaners or high-pressure cleaners to clean this
appliance. If not followed, excess moisture can accumulate.
WARNING
To avoid risk of injury, when loading items to be washed, observe the following.
▶ 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.

3.2 AquaSensor
The AquaSensor is an optical
measuring device (light barrier) which
measures the turbidity of the washing
water. You can save water with the
AquaSensor.
The operation of the AquaSensor
depends on the selected cycle. If the
soiling level is high, the washing water
is drained off and replaced with fresh
water. If the soiling level is lower, the
washing water is used in the next
rinse, so reducing water consumption
by 3-6 liters. In the Auto cycles the
temperature and run time are
additionally adjusted to the level of
soiling.

5.1 Energy Guide
The Energy Guide label was based on
the Normal soil sensing cycle.
The unit was tested without any rinse
aid (liquid) in the rinse aid dispenser. A
single dose of detergent was inserted
into the detergent dispenser, with no
detergent being used in the prewash.
The unit was not subjected to
truncated testing per the definitions in
the test procedure. We recommend
that dish loads such as the one in the
energy certification test have the rack
position set in the highest position.
Recommended for daily, regular or
typical use to completely wash a full
load of normally soiled dishes.

separately.
Modern, powerful detergents mainly
use a low-alkaline formulation with
enzymes. Enzymes break down starch
and remove protein. Oxygen-based
bleaching agents are generally used to
remove colored stains, e.g. tea or
ketchup.
Note:Follow the manufacturer's
instructions for each detergent.

Detergent Description
Powder
detergent
Powder detergent is
recommended for
shorter cycles. The
dosage can be adjusted
to the level of soiling.
Liquid
detergent
Liquid detergent works
faster and is
recommended for
shorter cycles without a
pre-rinse.
Sometimes liquid
detergent may leak out
despite the detergent
dispenser being closed.
This is not a problem,
just remember the
following:
¡ Only choose a cycle
without PreRinse.
¡ Do not use the Delay
Start option.
The dosage can be
adjusted to the level of
soiling.
11.2 Incompatible detergents
Do not use a detergent which is not
designated for dishwasher use or
contains chlorine.
Detergent Description

Detergent

chlorine
This may leave
chlorine residue
on dishware.
11.3 Information on Detergent
Follow the instructions on detergents
in everyday use.
¡ Detergents marked as "ecological"
(environmentally friendly) generally
contain lower levels of active agents
or none at all. The cleaning effect
may be reduced.
¡ Adjust the rinse aid and the water
softening system settings in
accordance with the detergent or
combination detergent in use.
¡ According to manufacturers,
combination detergents with salt
replacement substances can only
be used up to a certain water
hardness, usually 26 °E, without
adding special salt. For the best
washing and drying results we
recommend using special salt from
a water hardness of 17 °E.
¡ Any rinse aid component of a
combination detergent has limited
effectiveness. You will have better
results using a separate rinse aid.
¡ To prevent sticking, only touch
detergents in a water-soluble pouch
with dry hands and only ever place
them in a dry detergent dispenser.
¡ Even if the rinse aid and special salt
refill indicators light up, the wash
cycles will run properly with
combination detergents.
¡ Use tablets with enhanced drying
results.

12.2 Loading dishware
Arrange dishware correctly to optimize
the dishwashing result and prevent
damage to both dishware and the
en-us Dishware
28
appliance. The noise level may also
vary depending on the items placed in
your dishwasher.
WARNING
The sharp points and edges of knives
and other sharp utensils can cause
serious injury.
▶ Load knives and other sharp
utensils with edges down. Do not
allow children to handle or play near
knives and sharp utensils
NOTICE:
Avoid dishwasher damage
▶ Do not load the dishwasher with
paper products, plastic bags,
packing materials or anything other
than normal, dishwasher safe
dishware and kitchenware.
Note
Load the racks so that no projecting
items of dishware interfere with closing
of the door. Projecting items of
dishware may push the appliance door
open during the program, so allowing
steam to escape and water to leak out
around the door. This could damage
your kitchen cabinets.
Tips
¡ Using the appliance allows you to
save energy and water compared to
doing dishes by hand.
¡ See our website for examples of
how to load your appliance
efficiently.
¡ To save energy and water, load the
machine with the number of place
settings specified (standard load
with dishes and silverware).
¡ For better washing and drying
results, position items with curves or
recesses at an angle so water can
run off.
1. Remove large remnants of food
from dishware.
To save resources, do not pre-rinse
dishware under running water.
2. Observe the following when
arranging dishware:
– Put heavily soiled dishware in the
lower rack, e.g. pans. The more
powerful spray jet ensures that
the dishwashing result will be
better.
– To avoid damage to dishware,
arrange it so it is stable and
cannot tip over.
Dishware en-us
29
– To avoid injury, arrange
silverware with the points and
sharp edges facing down.
– Position containers with the
openings facing down so no
water can collect in them.
– Do not block the spray arms -
make sure that they can turn
freely.
– Do not place small parts in the
collecting tray and do not block it
with dishware so as not to
obstruct the lid of the detergent
dispenser.
12.3 Removing dishware
CAUTION
Dishes can be very hot immediately
after the cycle ends.
▶ Open the door slightly and allow
dishes to cool for a few minutes
before unloading.
1. To prevent water dripping onto
dishware, unload it starting at the
bottom and working up.
2. Check the washing tank and
accessories for soiling and clean if
necessary.

Depending on the appliance specifications
en-us STATEMENT OF LIMITED PRODUCT WARRANTY
58
applies only to the Bosch appliance
sold to you (“Product“), 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 from a BSH authorized
dealer or directly from BSH (not a
display, "as is", or previously
returned model), and not for resale,
or commercial use.
¡ Within the United States or Canada,
and has at all times remained within
the country of original purchase.
The warranties stated herein apply to
the original purchaser of the product
warranted herein and to each
succeeding owner of the product
purchased for ordinary home use
during the term of the warranty.
Please make sure to register your
Product; while not necessary to
effectuate warranty coverage, it is the
best way for Bosch to notify you in the
unlikely event of a safety notice or
product recall.
21.2 How long the warranty
lasts
Bosch warrants that the Product is free
from defects in materials and
workmanship for a period of three
hundred and sixty-five (365) days from
the date of the original delivery. The
foregoing timeline begins to run upon
the date of the original delivery, 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, chips,
dents, or other damage to the finish) of
the Product, for a period of thirty (30)
days from the date of delivery 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.
21.3 Extended 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).
21.4 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. If
reasonable attempts to repair the
Product have been made without
success, then Bosch will replace your
Product (upgraded models may be
available to you, in Bosch’s sole
discretion, for an additional charge).
Nothing in this warranty requires
damaged or defective parts to be
replaced with parts of a different type
or design than the original part. All
removed parts and components shall
become the property of Bosch 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. Bosch's sole liability and
responsibility hereunder is to repair
manufacturer-defective Product only,
using a Bosch authorized service
provider during normal business hours.
For safety and property damage
concerns, Bosch highly recommends
that you do not attempt to repair the
Product yourself, or use a non-
authorized service provider; Bosch will
have no responsibility or liability for
damage resulting from repairs or work
performed by a non-authorized service
provider. Authorized service providers
are those persons or companies that
have been specially trained on Bosch
products, and who possess, in Bosch's
opinion, a superior reputation for
customer service and technical ability
(note that they are independent
entities and are not agents, partners,
affiliates or representatives of Bosch).
Nevertheless, taking your product to
be serviced by a repair shop that is not
affiliated with or an authorized dealer
of Bosch will not void this warranty.
Also, using third-party parts will not
void this warranty. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, Bosch 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, Bosch
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. Further, to the
extent you have installed the Product
in a difficult-to-access location or have
otherwise installed temporary or
permanent fixtures that create barriers
to accessing or removing the Product,
Bosch will not incur any liability for, or
have responsibility, for work or costs
associated with moving the Product or
en-us STATEMENT OF LIMITED PRODUCT WARRANTY
60
otherwise creating access to the
Product in order to repair or replace it.
All such costs shall be your sole
responsibility.
21.5 Out of warranty product
Bosch is under no obligation, at law or
otherwise, to provide you with any
concessions, including repairs,
prorates, or Product replacement,
once this warranty has expired.
21.6 Warranty exclusions

herein excludes all defects or damage
that are not the direct fault of Bosch,

than its normal, customary and

limitation, any form of commercial

¡ Ordinary wear and tear, spills of
food, liquid, grease accumulations,

¡ Removal and replacement of trim or
decorative panels that interfere with
servicing the Product.
¡ Damage or defects caused by labor
or parts installed by any non-
authorized service provider, unless

liability or responsibility whatsoever for
damage to surrounding property,
including cabinetry, floors, ceilings,
and other structures or objects around
the Product. Also excluded from this
warranty are Products, on which the
serial numbers have been altered,
defaced, or removed; service visits to
teach you how to use the Product, or

with the Product; correction of

installation problems (you are solely
responsible for any structure and

foundation/flooring, and for any

cabinetry, walls, floors, shelving, etc.);
and resetting of breakers or fuses.
TO THE EXTENT ALLOWED BY
LAW, THIS WARRANTY SETS OUT
YOUR EXCLUSIVE REMEDIES WITH
RESPECT TO PRODUCT, WHETHER
THE CLAIM ARISES IN CONTRACT
OR TORT (INCLUDING STRICT
LIABILITY, OR NEGLIGENCE) OR
OTHERWISE. THIS WARRANTY IS
IN LIEU OF ALL OTHER
WARRANTIES, WHETHER EXPRESS
OR IMPLIED. ANY WARRANTY
IMPLIED BY LAW, WHETHER FOR
MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS
FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, OR
OTHERWISE, SHALL BE EFFECTIVE
ONLY FOR THE PERIOD THAT THIS
EXPRESS LIMITED WARRANTY IS
EFFECTIVE. IN NO EVENT WILL
THE MANUFACTURER BE LIABLE

INCIDENTAL, INDIRECT, "BUSINESS
LOSS", AND/OR PUNITIVE
DAMAGES, LOSSES, OR
EXPENSES, INCLUDING WITHOUT
LIMITATION TIME AWAY FROM
WORK, HOTELS AND/OR
RESTAURANT MEALS,
REMODELLING EXPENSES IN
EXCESS OF DIRECT DAMAGES
WHICH ARE DEFINITIVELY CAUSED
EXCLUSIVELY BY BOSCH, OR
OTHERWISE. SOME STATES DO
NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OR
LIMITATION OF INCIDENTAL OR
CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, AND
SOME STATES DO NOT ALLOW
LIMITATIONS ON HOW LONG AN
IMPLIED WARRANTY LASTS, SO
THE ABOVE EXCLUSIONS OR
LIMITATIONS MAY NOT APPLY TO
YOU. THIS WARRANTY GIVES YOU
SPECIFIC LEGAL RIGHTS, AND YOU
MAY ALSO HAVE OTHER RIGHTS
WHICH VARY FROM STATE TO
STATE.
No attempt to alter, modify or amend
this warranty shall be effective unless
authorized in writing by an officer of
BSH.
