Temperatures required for soldering and sweating will damage the dishwasher’s water inlet valve.

If plumbing lines are to be soldered or sweated, keep the heat source at least 6 inches (152.4 mm) away from the dishwasher’s water inlet valve.

•If using a solder joint instead of a compression ﬁtting, be sure to make all solder connections before connecting the water line to the dishwasher.

•Make certain there are no sharp bends or kinks in the water line that might restrict water ﬂow.

•Be sure to use pipe thread compound or Teﬂon brand tape to seal the connection when required.

•Before connecting the copper hot water supply line to the dishwasher, ﬂush it with hot water to clear any foreign material.

•Turn on the water supply to check for leaks after making connections.

NOTE: Do not use pipe sealant on compression ﬁttings.

BSH Dishwasher specifications

Bosch Appliances has long been synonymous with quality and innovation, especially when it comes to their line of dishwashers. The Bosch BSH Dishwasher stands out in the competitive market, providing a combination of advanced technology, energy efficiency, and user-friendly features that cater to modern households.

One of the main features of the Bosch BSH Dishwasher is its superior cleaning performance. Equipped with Bosch's PrecisionWash technology, the dishwasher utilizes intelligent sensors that scan and check the progress of dishes throughout the wash cycle. This ensures that each item is thoroughly cleaned, regardless of how soiled it may be. The system directs the spray arms to focus on particularly dirty areas, enhancing overall cleaning efficiency.

In terms of capacity, the Bosch BSH Dishwasher offers flexible loading options with its adjustable racks. The RackMatic system allows users to effortlessly adjust the height of the upper rack on three different levels, accommodating taller items in the bottom rack. Furthermore, the dishwasher includes foldable tines and a specialized silverware basket, optimizing space for various dishware sizes and shapes.

Energy efficiency is another hallmark of the Bosch BSH Dishwasher. It is ENERGY STAR® certified, confirming its compliance with rigorous energy efficiency standards. The EcoSilence Drive motor operates quietly, producing as little as 44 decibels, which is comparable to the sound of a soft conversation. This means that you can run the dishwasher at any time without disrupting your household.

Additional technologies enhance the user experience. The Bosch BSH Dishwasher features a user-friendly control panel with a variety of wash cycles, including Auto, Heavy, and Sanitize options. The Sanitize cycle is particularly beneficial for homes with children, effectively eliminating bacteria and ensuring that dishes are not only clean but hygienically safe.

Finally, the interior of the Bosch BSH Dishwasher is designed for longevity and convenience. The stainless steel tub is resistant to staining and retains heat well, improving drying performance with the help of the AutoAir feature, which automatically opens the door at the end of the cycle to allow moisture to escape.

In summary, the Bosch BSH Dishwasher merges advanced cleaning technology with a focus on energy efficiency and user convenience. With features designed to enhance performance, flexibility, and quiet operation, it remains a top choice for families and individuals who prioritize cleanliness and efficiency in their kitchen appliances.
