Bosch Appliances SHX3AM Wash Cycle Information, Cycle Data, Stainless Steel Doors, The NSF Symbol

Clean the Exterior Door Panel

Colored Doors

Use only a soft cloth that is lightly dampened with soapy water.

Stainless Steel Doors

Use a soft cloth with a non-abrasive cleaner (preferably a liquid spray) made for cleaning stainless steel. For the best results, apply the stainless steel cleaner to the cloth, then wipe the surface.

Clean the Door Gasket and Door Seal

Regularly clean the door gasket with a damp cloth to remove food particles and other debris. Also clean the door seal, located inside the dishwasher at the bottom of the door.

Wash Cycle Information

NOTE: To save energy, this dishwasher has a “Smart Control” that automatically adjusts the cycle based on soil loads and incoming water temperature. The “Smart Control” makes decisions that can cause the cycle time and water usage to adjust intermittently. The cycle times listed in the Use and Care manual are based on normal soil loads and 120°F incoming water and will vary based on your actual conditions.

See the Cycles Chart to determine the cycles available for your specific model.

NOTE: On select models, the Half Load feature will reduce the water

consumption by approximately 30 percent in the Power Scrub Plus, Regular, and Auto Wash cycles. The ECO option may be selected for the Power Scrub Plus, Auto, Regular and Delicate cycles on select models. This reduces energy consumption approximately 10% due to lower main wash and final rinse temperatures, but extends cycle length 5-10 minutes to maintain drying performance and the water usage will be unmodified in comparison to the normal program cycles.

The NSF Symbol

A dishwasher or a dishwasher cycle that has the NSF symbol has been certified by the NSF International to meet very strict requirements of wash time and water temperature to ensure dishware and kitchenware sanitization. These requirements are explained in the document NSF/ANSI 184, Residential Dishwashers. More information on NSF Certification is available at the NSF website, http://www. nsfconsumer.org/home/appliances.asp.

Your dishwasher is NSF certified. The dishwasher cycles that are NSF certified are shown in the following chart. When these cycles are complete, the “Sanitized” indicator on your dishwasher control panel will illuminate.

NOTE: If your household water supply is too hot, your dishwasher’s heating time may be reduced and the “Sanitized” light or symbol may not illuminate. Your Dishwasher Installation Manual has information on the recommended temperature for your household hot water supply.
