Operating The Dishwasher - Bosch SHX98M09UC Use And Care Manual

Operating the Dishwasher

Before you begin
Using the Touch Pad Controls
Your new dishwasher is equipped with the latest control technology featuring Sens-a-Touch
Controls activation.
In order to activate a button, open the door and place the entire fingertip over the desired button
and hold it in place for three seconds. This three-second hold is intended to prevent accidental
activation.
Selecting a Language
Before using your new dishwasher you must select a language. Open the door far enough to
expose the controls and press the ON/OFF button to turn the unit on. The first time you turn on
the dishwasher, the language selection screen (see above) will appear.
The available languages are:
1. AE = American English
2. CF = Canadian French
3. MS = Mexican Spanish
The language abbreviation "AE" will be flashing. If you want a different language press – or + until
the desired language flashes. Save the selected language by pressing the
MENU/OK button. If you select the wrong language, refer to the "Display Language" section of
this manual for more information.
Selecting a Wash Cycle
After adding detergent and rinse aid as explained in the Adding Detergent and Rinse Aid section
of this manual, turn the dishwasher on by pressing the ON/OFF button. The display will indicate
the default cycle, "Auto Wash".
If you did not add rinse aid, the display will indicate "Refill Rinse Aid. " To bypass this screen
press the MENU/OK button.
To select a different cycle press + or – until the display shows the desired wash cycle.
