Bosch SHX46L Use And Care Manual page 11

If your dishwasher will be unused for
an extended period of time in a location
that experiences freezing temperatures
(e.g., in a holiday home or through a
vacation period), you must drain all the
water from the dishwasher's interior.
a ) Turn off the water supply.
b ) Disconnect the drain hose, and
allow your dishwasher to completely
drain into a bucket or other appropriate
receptacle.
1. Wiping Up Spills and Splash-out
Water may occasionally splash out of
your Bosch dishwasher, especially if you
interrupt a cycle or open the dishwasher
door during a cycle. To avoid floor
damage and possible mold growth, do
not allow wet areas to remain around or
under the dishwasher.
3. Check/Clean the Stainless Steel
Inner Door and Tub
a ) Clean the outer edges of the inside
door panel regularly to remove debris
that might collect there from normal
loading.
b ) If spots begin to appear on the
stainless steel tub or inner door, make
sure the rinse agent reservoir is full.
4. Check/Clean the Spray Arm
Nozzles
Occasionally check the spray arms to
ensure that the spray nozzles are
unobstructed. You must remove the
spray arms to check them for obstruction.
- To remove the top spray arm:
a ) Remove the empty top rack from the
dishwasher.
b ) Turn the rack upside-down. The top
spray arm is held in position by a locking
nut as shown in Figure 21A. Turn the
locking nut counterclockwise 1/8 turn and
remove it, as shown in Figure 21B to
release the spray arm.

5. Check/Clean the Filter System

system that is made up of a Large Object
Trap/Cylinder Filter assembly, a Fine
Filter, and a Micro Filter. The filter system
is located on the dishwasher floor and is
easily accessible.
During normal use the filter system is
self-cleaning, but you should
occasionally inspect it for foreign objects
and clean it when necessary.
- To Remove the Large Object
Trap/Cylinder Filter Assembly:
a ) Remove the bottom rack.
b ) Grasp the assembly as shown in
Figure 24, and turn it counterclockwise
1/4 turn.

dislodge and remove the debris. Flush
the Cylinder Filter clean by holding it
under running water.
