Bosch DISHWASHER Operating Instructions Manual

Dishwasher Cycles and Options

Wash Cycles (model dependent)

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

detergent 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 informa-

tion. 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 (model dependent): Lowers temperature and cycle length 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 approximately half

of the dishwasher's capacity. To activate, select the Half Load button in addition to any of the three cycles

listed above.

Sanitize: 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 symbol

or LED 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.

no intention, either directly or indirectly, that all cycles have passed sanitization performance tests.
