Bosch DISHWASHER Operating Instructions Manual

Detergent

Use only detergent specifically designed for dishwashers.

Note: To avoid dishwasher damage, do not use hand dishwashing products in

your dishwasher.

The dishwasher uses less water, therefore, less detergent is required. With

soft water, 1 tablespoon (15ml) of detergent will clean most loads. The

detergent dispenser cup has lines that measure detergent (Figure 2) to 1

tablespoon (15ml) and 1.75 tablespoons (25ml). 3 tablespoons (45ml) of

detergent will completely fill the detergent dispenser.

Note: If you do not know the hardness of your water supply, use 15ml of

detergent. Increase the amount if necessary to the least amount required to

get your kitchenware clean.

Use the measuring lines in the detergent dispenser cup as a guide to mea-

sure the amount of detergent recommended in Table 2.

Rinse Aid

To achieve proper drying, always use a liquid rinse aid, even if your detergent contains a rinse aid or

drying additive.

Note: The dishwasher indicates low rinse aid by turning on the Refill Rinse Aid LED or symbol

in the display.

If this light is on, you need to refill the rinse aid dispenser by following the

directions below.

Adding Rinse Aid

Add liquid rinse aid to the dispenser until the reservoir is full (see Figure 5).

Wipe up any excess rinse aid that may puddle when the dispenser reservoir is

full. The indicator light will go out a few moments after the dishwasher door

is shut. See page 13 for how to adjust the amount of rinse aid dispensed.
