Dishwasher Cycles - Bosch SHX4ATF Use And Care Manual

Dishwasher Cycles and Options
Wash Cycles
Heavy: Best for cleaning items with baked-on food or grease. These
dishes would normally require soaking.
Auto: With our most complex soil sensing capability, this cycle is perfect
for use with mixed loads of dishware and varying amounts of food soil. This
is the most flexible cycle and is a good choice for everyday use.
Normal: Thoroughly cleans a full load of normally soiled dishes.
Note: The Energy Guide Label was based on this soil sensing cycle with all available
options turned off. As prescribed in the energy test procedure, the unit was tested
without any Rinse Aid in the Rinse Aid dispenser. A single dose of detergent was used
in the Detergent Dispenser, with no detergent used in the prewash. The test was con-
ducted with the upper rack in the upper position.
Speed60"*: Cleans freshly soiled dishes with easy to remove soils. This
cycle reduces cycle time while still including drying.
Rinse*: Allows you to rinse food soil off of a partial load and hold the
dishes in the dishwasher until you are ready to run a full load. Do not use
detergent in this cycle.
Wash Cycle Options
Delay: Allows you to delay the start time of your dishwasher up to 24 hours.
SpeedPerfect'"*: Reduces cycle time by up to 25% while maintaining
cleaning performance.
Delicate*: The Delicate option is available only in the Heavy, Auto and
Normal cycles. This cycle is best used for lightly soiled items with easy to
remove food soils.
Half Load*: Reduces cycle time and can save energy adn water when washing
small, lightly soiled loads that fill approximately half of the dishwasher's capactiy.
ExtraShine'"*: Used in combination with a wash cycle (except Rinse), the
ExtraShine option raises the temperature and extends the drying time to
further enhance drying results and provide a brilliant shine.
ExtraDry*: Used in combination with a wash cycle (except Rinse), the Ex-
traDry option raises the temperature and extends the drying time to fur-
ther enhance drying results.
Sanitize*: The Sanitize feature is available only in the Heavy, Auto and Normal
cycles. Select one of these cycles, press the "Sanitize Option" button and then
press Start to activate the Sanitation features. The sanitize LED will light when
sanitation requirements are met. The technical sanitation measures may also
improve the drying results.
Note: Thedishwasher automatically defaults to Auto Wash when turned off and back on. If
you used the sanitize option in your last cycle, the dishwasher will default to Auto Wash
with the Sanitize option selected whenyou turn it on.
