Dishwasher Cycles And Options; Wash Cycle Information - Bosch SHE7ER55UC Operating Instructions 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 with 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 will 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 deter-
gent was used in the Detergent Dispenser, with no detergent used in the prewash. The test was conducted with the
upper rack in the highest position.
Delicate: For delicate or heirloom dishware and silverware or other special items. Always make sure
that the items are dishwasher safe. Refer to the Dishware Materials section of this manual for further
information. Hand washing may be the best treatment for such items.
Express: Cleans lightly soiled dishes and reduces overall wash time. Use this cycle to clean glasses and
dessert dishware that may need to be reused at the same event.
Glass Care (model dependent): A cycle for lightly soiled dishes, ideal for temperature sensitive items
or cutlery. In this cycle the temperature is reduced to help prevent dishes from becoming damaged. It
is especially helpful to reduce a cloudy or etched appearance on glasses.
Note: Some glasses are more prone to etching due to glass manufacturing processes.
Wash Cycle Options
Delay Start: Allows you to delay the start time of your dishwasher in one hour increments up to 24 hours.
Eco Option: Lowers temperature and cycle lenth to decrease energy usage.
Extra Wash (model dependent): This cycle option can be selected to increase wash performance with
more water used in extra sequences and at higher temperatures.
Half Load Option: In the Heavy, Auto, Normal, Delicate and Glass Care wash cycles, the Half Load option
can reduce the energy and water consumption when washing small, lightly soiled loads that fill approxi-
mately half of the dishwasher's capacity. To activate, select the Half Load button in addition to any of the
three cycles listed above.
Sanitize Option: The Sanitize feature is available only in the Heavy, Auto and Normal cycles. Press the
"Sanitize Option" button to activate the Sanitation features during the Auto and Normal cycles. The
Sanitize light will always be on when running a Heavy cycle. The technical sanitation measures may also
improve the drying results.
Note: The dishwasher 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 when you turn it on.
Wash Cycle Information
The cycle times in this Use and Care Manual are based on normal soil loads and 120°F incoming water and will vary
based on your actual conditions.
