WARNING

Avoid Scald Hazard

Do not perform any work on a charged hot water line. Serious injury could result. Only qualified plumbers should perform plumbing work. Do not attempt any work on the dishwasher hot water supply plumbing until you are certain the hot water supply is shut off.

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

Hot Water Supply

The hot water heater should be set to deliver approximately 120° F (49° C) water to the dishwasher. Water that is too hot can cause some detergents to lose effectiveness. Lower water temperatures will increase run times. The hot water supply pressure must be between 15 - 145 psi (1 - 10 bar).

Hot Water Supply Plumbing

Install an easily accessible shut-off valve (not supplied) in the hot water supply line, as shown in Figure 6. All solder connections must be made before the water line is connected to the dishwasher’s water inlet valve. Water may also be supplied to the dishwasher by using a stainless steel braided hose approved for dishwasher use. Check with your local plumbing supply sources for the proper hose and 90° elbow fitting.

NOTE: Regardless of where the hot water supply line enters the enclosure, position the line 14” (356mm) from the enclosure’s left side, as shown in Figure 6.

NOTE: Decide whether stainless steel braided hose approved for dishwasher use or copper tubing will be used for the hot water supply plumbing, and purchase the correct type of hot water supply shut-off valve, 90° elbow, and necessary fittings for the hot water supply plumbing.

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 STARĀ® 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.
