Pre-Load Preparation

Remove large particles of food from the

dishes before food has a chance to dry, but

rinsing is not necessary.

Food soils will actually enhance

the detergent's performance.

Use the Rinse & Hold cycle if waiting an ex-

tended period of time before washing.

Pre-soak and hand-scour pots and pans with

burned-on or blackened food.

Do not place foreign objects, such as

toothpicks, paper products, plastic

bags, or packaging materials, into the

dishwasher!

LOADING THE DISHWASHER

Standard Top Rack

General Loading Tips

• Load dishwasher so water can circulate freely

and reach every part of item.

• Do not allow delicate items to touch - they

could be damaged.

• Place items upside down - so water does not

collect inside of them.

• Place items so that nothing prob'udes through

the bottom of the racks - this could block the

rotation of the spray arms.

Rinse agent, or a rinse aid, is used to provide

optimum drying results and diminish water spot-

ting. AhHays use a rinse agent with the Bosch

dishwasher to insure proper drying results. It

rinses the dishware and also rinses the internal

parts of the dishwasher.

To Fill the Rinse Agent Reservoir:

1. Open the dishwasher door fully.

2. Open the cover of the rinse agent dispenserby

pressing the star on the cover with your index

finger while pulling on the tab with your thumb.

3. Add rinse agent to the reservoir until the level

indicatorturns dark, indicatingthat the reservoir

is full (capacity is approx. 3.5 oz.).

Rinse Agent

Dispenser Regulator

The rinseagent reservoir of the Bosch dishwasher is

provided with a regulator calibrated from I to 6. (See

Figure 21.) This regulator controls the amount of

rinse agent dispensed. The dishwasher leavesthe

factory preset to 4. However,

•if you see streaks, you should turn the

regulator to a lower number.

•if you see water spots,you should turn

the regulator to ahigher number.
