Dishware Drying

At the end of the cycle the dishwasher will stop and a period of condensation drying will follow. After 12 - 15 minutes of drying,

•the “Clean” indicator will illuminate,

•the “Sanitized” indicator will illuminate

(except in the Rinse and Hold cycle). NOTE: If your household water supply

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

NOTE: To accelerate and enhance drying, open the dishwasher door, pull the top rack a few inches out of the dishwasher, and prop the dishwasher door against the top rack.

- The “Sanitized” Indicator

When the “Sanitized” light illuminates, it means that the dishware and kitchenware that was just washed has been sanitized according to the requirements of the National Sanitation Foundation (NSF). For more information on NSF certification, go to the Wash Cycle Information section of this manual.

1.Winterizing Your Bosch Dishwasher

C A U T I O N

POSSIBLE DISHWASHER DAMAGE: Freezing temperatures can damage your dishwasher. Do not allow water to remain in your dish- washer water supply or drain sys- tems through extended periods of freezing temperatures.

If your dishwasher will be unused for an extended period of time in a location that experiences freezing temperatures (e.g., in a holiday home or through a vacation period), you must drain all the water from the dishwasher’s interior.

a) Turn off the water supply.

b) Disconnect the drain hose, and allow your dishwasher to completely drain into a bucket or other appropriate receptacle.

2. Wiping Up Spills and Splash-out

Water may occasionally splash out of your Bosch dishwasher, especially if you interrupt a cycle or open the dishwasher door during a cycle. Wipe up spills immediately.

3.Check/Clean the Stainless Steel Inner Door and Tub

a) Clean the outer edges of the inside door panel regularly to remove debris that might collect there from normal loading.

b) If spots begin to appear on the stainless steel tub or inner door, make sure the rinse agent reservoir is full.

4.Check/Clean the Spray Arm Nozzles

Occasionally check the spray arms to ensure that the spray nozzles are unobstructed. You must remove the spray arms to check them for obstruction.

- To remove the top spray arm:

a) Remove the empty top rack from the dishwasher.

b) Turn the rack upside-down. The top spray arm is held in position by a locking nut as shown in Figure 17A. Turn the locking nut counter-clockwise 1/8 turn and remove it, as shown in Figure 17B to release the spray arm.
