Petty Instructions - Please READ and Save This Information !

NOTICE

Never use steam cleaning products to clean your dishwasher. The manufacturer will not be liable for possible damages or consequences.

Never use harsh chemicals to clean your dishwasher. Some chloride-containing cleaning products can damage your dishwasher and may present health hazards!

It is highly recommended for the end use consumer to become familiar with the procedure to shut off the incoming water supply and the procedure to shut off the incoming power supply. See the Installation Instructions or speak with your installer for more information.

WARNING

Misuse of the dishwasher can result in serious injury or death. Do not use the dishwasher in any way not covered in this manual or for any purpose other than those explained on the following pages.

Severe product damage and/or injury could result from the use of unqualified service technicians or non-original replacement parts. All repairs must be performed by a qualified service technician using only original equipment factory replacement parts.

Electrical shock or fire could result if the electrical supply for the dishwasher covered in this manual is incorrectly installed or if the dishwasher has been improperly grounded. Do not use the dishwasher covered in this manual if you are not certain the electrical supply has been correctly installed or the dishwasher has been properly grounded.

Warning: To reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock, or serious injury, observe the following:

This appliance must be grounded to a metal, permanent wiring system, or an equipment grounding conductor must be run with the circuit conductors and connected to the equipment grounding terminal or lead on the dishwasher. See the Installation Instructions included with this dishwasher for more information on electrical requirements.
- Use this dishwasher only for its intended function, which is the washing of household dishware and kitchenware.
This dishwasher is provided with Installation Instructions and this Use and Care Manual. Please read and understand all instructions before using the dishwasher.
- Use only detergents or rinsing agents recommended for use in a dishwasher, and keep them out of the reach of children.
- When loading items to be washed:

• Locate sharp items so that they are not likely to damage the door seal.

• Load knives and other sharp utensils with their HANDLES UP to reduce the risk of cut-type injuries.

• Do not wash plastic items unless they are marked "dishwasher safe" or the equivalent. For plastic items not so marked, check the manufacturer's recommendations.

• Do not operate your dishwasher unless all enclosure panels are in place.

• Do not tamper with or override controls and interlocks.
• Do not abuse, sit on, or stand on the door or dish racks of the dishwasher.
• To reduce the risk of injury, do not allow children to play in or on the dishwasher.
• When children become old enough to operate the appliance, it is the legal responsibility of the parents or legal guardians to ensure that they are instructed in safe practices by qualified persons.
• Under certain conditions, hydrogen gas may be produced in a hot water system that has not been used for two weeks or more. Hydrogen gas is explosive. Before using a dishwasher that is connected to a hot water system that has been unused for two weeks or longer, turn on all hot water faucets and let the water flow from each for several minutes. This will release any accumulated hydrogen gas. As the gas is explosive, do not smoke or use an open flame during this time.
• Remove the door to the washing compartment when removing an old dishwasher from service or discarding.
• To avoid floor damage and possible mold growth, do not allow wet areas to remain around or under the dishwasher.
• Protect your dishwasher from the elements. Protect against freezing to avoid possible damage to the fill valve. Damage caused by freezing is not covered by the warranty.

Dishwasher components

Dishwasher setup

Water softening system

Your dishwasher requires soft water to ensure proper washing results and is equipped with an internal water softening system. However, if you have a household water softening system, you will not need to use the internal system provided.

The amount of salt required depends on the degree of hardness of your tap water (see table at right for more information).

For the water softening system to function properly, it will need to use dishwasher water softener salt. The amount of salt dispensed can be set from "H:00" to "H:07". Salt is not required at H:00 (this is the default factory setting - see table at right).

• Open the door (for hidden controls only).
• Turn the unit on using the [ON/OFF] button.
• Hold down the "A" button (see page 4) and press [START] until the display indicates "H:00".
• Release both buttons.
• Press the "B" button to select the desired setting.
• Save the selected setting by pressing [START].
• Close the door (for hidden controls only).

Default setting from factory is H:00

Salt

Refill the salt container (use the supplied funnel to pour) right before turning on the unit to ensure that salt overflow is immediately washed away. This prevents corrosion.

• Open the screw cap of the salt container.
• Fill the container with water (only required when turning on the unit for the first time).
• Add salt (dishwasher salt) until the water is displaced and runs out.
• Refill with salt as soon as the salt refill indicator " " Salt" LED is lit.

WARNING: Never fill the salt dispenser with detergent. It will destroy the water softening system. To prevent corrosion, refill with salt and immediately begin any cycle.

NOTE: Refill salt in the appliance only when the salt refill LED or symbol is lit. Do not use salt tablets or any salt other than dishwasher water softening salt.

For more information about ordering salt please contact Customer Service. You can buy special dishwasher salt as spare part 469559 or as accessory SGZ9091UC.

Detergent

Use only detergent specifically designed for dishwashers. For best results, use fresh dishwashing detergent. The dishwasher is also equipped with a tablet collecting tray, designed to fully dissolve detergent tabs.

NOTICE: To avoid dishwasher damage, do not use hand dishwashing products in your dishwasher.

Your dishwasher uses less water, therefore you need to use less detergent. With soft water, 1 tablespoon (15ml) of detergent will clean most loads. The detergent dispenser cup has lines that measure detergent to 1 tablespoon (15ml) and 1.75 tablespoons (25ml). 3 tablespoons (45ml) of detergent will completely fill the detergent dispenser cup.

NOTE: If you do not know the hardness of your water supply, use 15ml of detergent. Increase the amount of detergent, if necessary, to the least amount required to get your dishware and kitchenware clean.

To Close:

Place finger as shown in figure at right, slide forward, then press down firmly until you hear it click into place.

To Open:

Push button as shown in the figure at far right and cover slides open.

Dishware materials

NOTE: Before using your dishwasher for the first time, check the information in this section. Some items are not dishwasher safe and should be hand-washed; others require special loading. Contact the item's manufacturer if you are unsure about the item's dishwasher suitability.

Recommended

Aluminum: Colored anodized aluminum may fade over time. Minerals in your water may cause the aluminum to darken or spot. This can usually be removed by using a soap-filled steel wool pad.

China, Crystal, Stoneware: Some hand-painted pieces may discolor, fade, or spot. Hand-wash these pieces. Position fragile glassware so that it will not topple over or contact other pieces during the wash cycle.

Glass: Milk glasses may yellow.

Non-Stick Coatings: Apply a light coating of vegetable oil to non-stick surfaces after drying.

Plastics: Make sure the piece is dishwasher safe.

Stainless Steel, Sterling Silver, and Silver Plate: Place these pieces so that they do not contact dissimilar metals.

Not Recommended

Acrylic: Crazing (small cracks throughout the acrylic) may occur.

Adhesive-Joined Pieces: Adhesives that join materials such as plastic, wood, bone, steel copper, tin, etc. may loosen.

Bone-Handled Utensils: Handles may separate.

Iron: Iron will rust. Hand-wash and dry immediately.

Non-Dishware Items: Your dishwasher is intended for use in cleaning ONLY standard household dishware and kitchenware.

Pewter, Brass, Bronze: These materials will tarnish. Hand-wash and dry immediately.

Tin: Tin will rust. Hand-wash and dry immediately.

Wood: Wooden bowls, wooden utensils, and wood-handled utensils can crack, warp, and lose their finish.

Loading the dishwasher

Do not pre-wash items having loosely-attached soiling. Remove large food particles, bones, seeds, toothpicks, and excessive grease. Items having burned-on, baked-on or starchy soils may require pre-treatment.

Wash Cycle Information

Power Scrub Plus

Cleans items with baked-on or hard dried-on food soils. These items would normally require soaking or hand scouring.

Auto Wash

Takes the guesswork out of cycle selection. The sensors in the dishwasher automatically adjust cycle length, temperature and water changes based on the soil load. This cycle is appropriate for mixed loads.

Delicate Wash

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 of such items.

Regular Wash

Thoroughly cleans large loads having loosely attached normal soiling.

Quick Wash

For lightly soiled items with easy to remove food soils. Reduces overall wash time.

Glass Care (model dependent)

A cycle for lightly soiled dishes which is 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 the glass manufacturing process.

The cycle times listed in this Use and Care Manual are based on normal soil loads and 120^ incoming water and will vary based on your actual conditions.

Maintenance and care

A regular inspection and maintenance of your machine will help to prevent faults. This saves time and prevents problems.

Overall condition of the machine

Check spray arm for grease and limescale deposits. If you find such deposits:

• Fill detergent dispenser with detergent.
• Start the appliance without utensils in the cycle with the highest rinsing temperature (see page 13 for cycle temperatures).
• Clean the appliance with detergents/appliance cleaners which are particularly suitable for use with dishwashers.
• Regularly clean door seal with a damp cloth.

Never use a steam cleaner to clean your dishwasher. The manufacturer is not liable for any consequential damage.

Regularly wipe the front of the appliance with a damp cloth; water and a little liquid soap are adequate. Do not use sponges with a rough surface or abrasive detergents, as these could scratch the surfaces.

Stainless steel appliances: To prevent corrosion, avoid using sponge cloths.

Filters

The filter system consists of a coarse filter, a flat fine filter and a microfilter. The filters keep large foreign objects in the rinsing water away from the pump. Foreign objects may occasionally block the filters.

Check the filters for residue by:

• Unscrew filter cylinder as illustrated at top right and take out filter system.
• Remove any residue and clean filters under running water.
• Reinstall filter system in reverse sequence and ensure that the arrow marks are opposite each other after closing the filter system.

Spray arms

Limescale and contaminants in the rinsing water may block nozzles and bearings on the spray arms.

Check outlet nozzles on the spray arms for blockages by:

• Unscrew the upper spray arm.
• Remove the lower spray arm.

Waste water pump

Large food remnants in the rinsing water not retained by the filters may block the waste water pump. The rinsing water does not get pumped out and covers the filter.

In this case:

• Disconnect the appliance from the power supply.
• Remove the filters.
• Scoop out water, use a sponge if required.
• Using a spoon, pry off pump cover (as illustrated) until it clicks, then grip the cover by the lug and first pull it upward until it resists and then pull it out forward.
• Check inner compartment and remove any foreign objects.
• Place cover in the original position, press down and engage.
• Reinstall filters.

Warranty Information

Statement of Limited Product Warranty

What this Warranty Covers & Who it Applies to: The limited warranty provided by BSH Home Appliances ("Bosch") in this Statement of Limited Product Warranty applies only to Bosch dishwashers ("Product") sold to you, the first using purchaser, provided that the Product was purchased: (1) for your normal, household (non-commercial) use, and has in fact at all times only been used for normal household purposes; (2) new at retail (not a display, "as is", or previously returned model), and not for resale, or commercial use; and (3) within the United States or Canada, and has at all times remained within the country of original purchase. The warranties stated herein apply only to the first purchaser of the Product and are not transferable.

• Please make sure to return your registration card; while not necessary to effectuate warranty coverage, it is the best way for Bosch to notify you in the unlikely event of a safety notice or product recall.

How Long the Warranty Lasts: Bosch warrants that the Product is free from defects in materials and workmanship for a period of three hundred sixty five (365) days (i.e., 1 year) from the date of purchase. The foregoing timeline begins to run upon the date of purchase, and shall not be stalled, tolled, extended, or suspended, for any reason whatsoever. Labor and shipping costs are included in this basic coverage.

Extended Limited Warranty: Bosch also provides these additional limited warranties:

2 Year Limited Warranty: Bosch will repair or replace any component that proves to be defective in materials or workmanship (excludes labor charges).
- 5 Year Limited Warranty on Electronics: Bosch will repair or replace any Bosch microprocessor or printed circuit board if it proves to be defective in materials or workmanship (excludes labor charges).
- 5 Year Limited Warranty on Dish Racks: Bosch will replace the upper or lower dish rack (excluding rack components), if the rack proves defective in materials or workmanship (excludes labor charges).
Lifetime Warranty against Stainless Steel Rust Through: Bosch will replace your dishwasher with the same model or a current model that is substantially equivalent or better in functionality, if the inner liner should rust through (excludes labor charges). Bosch will replace the stainless steel door if the door should rust through (excludes labor charges).

The foregoing timeline begins to run upon the date of purchase, and shall not be stalled, tolled, extended, or suspended, for any reason whatsoever.

Repair/Replace as Your Exclusive Remedy: During this warranty period, Bosch or one of its authorized service providers will repair your Product without charge to you (subject to certain limitations stated herein) if your Product proves to have been manufactured with a defect in materials or workmanship. If reasonable attempts to repair the Product have been made without success, then Bosch will replace your Product (upgraded models may be available to you, in Bosch's sole discretion, for an additional charge). All removed parts and components shall become the property of Bosch at its sole option. All replaced and/or repaired parts shall assume the identity of the original part for purposes of this warranty and this warranty shall not be extended with respect to such parts. Bosch's sole liability and responsibility hereunder is to repair manufacturer-defective Product only, using a Bosch-authorized service provider during normal business hours. For safety and property damage concerns, Bosch highly recommends that you do not attempt to repair the Product yourself, or use an un-authorized servicer; Bosch will have no responsibility or liability for repairs or work performed by a non-authorized servicer. If you choose to have someone other than an authorized service provider work on your Product, THIS WARRANTY WILL AUTOMATICALLY BECOME NULL AND VOID. Authorized service providers are those persons or companies that have been specially trained on Bosch products, and who possess, in Bosch's opinion, a superior reputation for customer service and technical ability (note that they are independent entities and are not agents, partners, affiliates or representatives of Bosch). Notwithstanding the foregoing, Bosch will not incur any liability, or have responsibility, for the Product if it is located in a remote area (more than 100 miles from an authorized service

provider) or is reasonably inaccessible, hazardous, threatening, or treacherous locale, surroundings, or environment; in any such event, if you request, Bosch would still pay for labor and parts and ship the parts to the nearest authorized service provider, but you would still be fully liable and responsible for any travel time or other special charges by the service company, assuming they agree to make the service call. Out of Warranty Product: Bosch is under no obligation, at law or otherwise, to provide you with any concessions, including repairs, pro-rates, or Product replacement, once this warranty has expired.

Warranty Exclusions: The warranty coverage described herein excludes all defects or damage that are not the direct fault of Bosch, including without limitation, one or more of the following: (1) use of the Product in anything other than its normal, customary and intended manner (including without limitation, any form of commercial use, use or storage of an indoor product outdoors, use of the Product in conjunction with air or water-going vessels); (2) any party's willful misconduct, negligence, misuse, abuse, accidents, neglect, improper operation, failure to maintain, improper or negligent installation, tampering, failure to follow operating instructions, mishandling, unauthorized service (including self-performed "fixing" or exploration of the appliance's internal workings); (3) adjustment, alteration or modification of any kind; (4) a failure to comply with any applicable state, local, city, or county electrical, plumbing and/or building codes, regulations, or laws, including failure to install the product in strict conformity with local fire and building codes and regulations; (5) ordinary wear and tear, spills of food, liquid, grease accumulations, or other substances that accumulate on, in, or around the Product; and (6) any external, elemental and/or environmental forces and factors, including without limitation, rain, wind, sand, floods, fires, mud slides, freezing temperatures, excessive moisture or extended exposure to humidity, lightning, power surges, structural failures surrounding the appliance, and acts of God. In no event shall Bosch have any liability or responsibility whatsoever for damage to surrounding property, including cabinetry, floors, ceilings, and other structures or objects around the Product. Also excluded from this warranty are scratches, nicks, minor dents, and cosmetic damages on external surfaces and exposed parts; Products on which the serial numbers have been altered, defaced, or removed; service visits to teach you how to use the Product, or visits where there is nothing wrong with the Product; correction of installation problems (you are solely responsible for any structure and setting for the Product, including all electrical, plumbing or other connecting facilities, for proper foundation/ flooring, and for any alterations including without limitation cabinetry, walls, floors, shelving, etc.); and resetting of breakers or fuses.

TO THE EXTENT ALLOWED BY LAW, THIS WARRANTY SETS OUT YOUR EXCLUSIVE REMEDIES WITH RESPECT TO PRODUCT, WHETHER THE CLAIM ARISES IN CONTRACT OR TORT (INCLUDING STRICT LIABILITY, OR NEGLIGENCE) OR OTHERWISE. THIS WARRANTY IS IN LIEU OF ALL OTHER WARRANTYES, WHETHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED. ANY WARRANTY IMPLIED BY LAW, WHETHER FOR MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, OR OTHERWISE, SHALL BE EFFECTIVE ONLY FOR THE PERIOD THAT THIS EXPRESS LIMITED WARRANTY IS EFFECTIVE. IN NO EVENT WILL THE MANUFACTURER BE LIABLE FOR CONSEQUENTIAL, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, INDIRECT, "BUSINESS LOSS", AND/OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, LOSSES, OR EXPENSES, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION TIME AWAY FROM WORK, HOTELS AND/OR RESTAURANT MEALS, REMODELLING EXPENSES IN EXCESS OF DIRECT DAMAGES WHICH ARE DEFINITIVELY CAUSED EXCLUSIVELY BY BOSCH, OR OTHERWISE. SOME STATES DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OR LIMITATION OF INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, AND SOME STATES DO NOT ALLOW LIMITATIONS ON HOW LONG AN IMPLIED WARRANTY LASTS, SO THE ABOVE LIMITATIONS MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU. THIS WARRANTY GIVES YOU SPECIFIC LEGAL RIGHTS, AND YOU MAY ALSO HAVE OTHER RIGHTS WHICH VARY FROM STATE TO STATE. No attempt to alter, modify or amend this warranty shall be effective unless authorized in writing by an officer of BSH.
