OPERATION

Once detergant has been added and before closing the door of the dishwasher chock the wash arms to ensure that they are free to move. With the detergent in the dishwasher and arms free to move:

•Close the door of the dishwasher making sure that door latches closed.

•Depress the button for the cycle you desire.

Turn the "Start and Run Knob" to "START" and depress the On/Off button. See figure 2. The indicator light above the On/Off button will become illuminated to indicate that the dishwasher is on and the cycle will begin.

TO INTERRUPT OR RESET CYCLE

To interrupt cycle simply depress the On/Off button to stop operation. If you are interrupting the cycle during a wash or rinse cycle please wait until the water noises stop before opening the door. After opening the door leave it ajar for a few minutes. The cycle then may be resumed by closing the door and depressing the on/off button.

As a safety feature the dishwasher will automatically turn itself off whenever the door is unlatched. However, if the door is opened quickly while in a wash or rinse cycle some water may splash out of the dishwasher. For this reason it is recommended that the machine always be switched to off before opening the door.

If you wish to reset the cycle to its beginning after stopping the dishwasher:

1.Close the door of the dishwasher. Make sure that the door is completely closed and latched.

2.Turn the "Start and Run Knob" to "Start".

3.The dishwasher is now reset and ready to ran your selected wash cycle.

UNLOADING

When unloading the dishwasher always unload the lower rack first and then unload the upper rack. This will

minimize the chance of drops from the upper rack falling on the dishes in the lower rack. The silverware basket

of the Bosch dishwasher may be removed for easy unloading. -

Also, when unloading, it is recommended that the dishes be allowed to cool before handling. The dishes will cool more quickly if the door is opened slightly.

Coarse/microfilter Fine Filter

Figure 14.

CARE and CLEANING

The Bosch dishwashers have a triple filter system comprised of: a microfilter, a fine filter and a coarse filter. The microfilter is self-cleaning,but the coarse filter and fine filter will sometimes be found to have collected items, from bones to toothpicks or straws that been left on the

plates or in the glasses. For this reason the following maintenance should be observed:

Filters

The filters should be checked on a regular basis. To remove the filters, turn the knurled ring handle of the coarse/microfilter ¼ turn counter-clockwise, see figure 14, and lift out the coarse/microfilter. After removing the coarseYmicrofilter the fine filter should also be inspected from time to time. Examine the filters. If large solids, such as bones, or large seed(s) are present remove the filters and dispose of the large solids by emptying into a waste basket. If any other items have been trapped by the filters, paper labels for example, these should also be removed while yon have the fil- ters out of the dishwasher. These smaller items can usually be flushed out under running water if you have trouble removing them by hand.

After cleaning, reinsert the filters in the dishwasher making sure to press.the filters firmly into position, and then turning the knurled ring ¼ turn clockwise until locked. Pull gently on the knurled ring to make sure the filters are again locked in place.

Other areas requiring periodic maintenance are the wash arms and the stainless steel tank and inner door and door gasket:

•Wash arms

The wash arms should be chocked on a regular basis to assure that the spray orifices are clear and unobstructed. If the wash arms require cleaning they are easily removable:
