GETTING STARTED
The operation of your Bosch dishwasher is summarized
below:
1. Load the dishwasher.
Refer to Table l for items suitable for washing in the
dishwasher. The dishwasher should be loaded with
pots, pans, dishes and silverware according to the
instructions provided under the following section
titled LOADING.
2. Add detergent and check rinse agent.
Detergent must be placed in the detergent dispenser
compartment as described in the following section
titled DETERGENT USE. The use of a rinse agent is
required to ensure good cleaning and drying result.
See section titled RINSE AGENT DISPENSER.
3. Check motion of wash arms.
The wash arms must be free to move and should not
be blocked by any item extending so far above lower
rack as to block upper arm or by any items hanging
below either the upper or lower rack to obstruct the
motion of the wash arms. See following section titled
OPERATION.
4. Close the door of the dishwasher.
Make sure that the door is completely closed and latched.
5. Select a wash cycle, see Table 2.

Turn the "Start and Run Knob" to the cycle you desire
(Power Scrub or Regular Wash). Then choose the
temperature option you want for the cycle you chose
by depressing the "High Temp. Wash" or the "Regular
Temp. Wash" buttons. If you choose the "Rinse and
Hold" Cycle on the "Start and Run Knob", then you

PREPARATIONS FOR WASHING
Very little preparation is required before placing dishes,
pots, pans, etc. into the dishwasher. However, some
preparation is required:
• Large solids, such as, bones, large seeds, shells, skins,
leafy vegetables, meat trimmings, etc. should be
removed either by scraping into a wastebasket, or into
your food disposer.
• Large amounts of any type of leftover food should also
be scraped into a wastebasket or into your food disposer.
• Pots and pans that have burned-on food, the food is
blackened, should be pre-soaked and scoured. The
dishwasher cannot remove burned-on food.
• Do not place the following items in the dishwasher:
> toothpicks
> small bones and bone slivers
> paper products such as paper plates and paper
napkins
> plastic bags or plastic packaging material.
In general, try to remove food scraps and place the items
to be washed in the dishwasher before the food has had a
chance to dry-on. Dried-on food is more difficult to
remove. If there will be an extended period of time before
the dishwasher will be run it is recommended that the
"Rinse & Hold" cycle be used.
Other than the above, no special preparation or pre-rinsing
is required for dishes, pots and pans or utensils with
normal amounts of food soil.
