Bosch Appliances SHU 5300, SHI 6800 Preparations for Washing, Toothpicks, Loading the TOP Rack

PREPARATIONS FOR WASHING

Very little preparation is requiredbefore placing dishes, pots, pans, etc. into the dishwasher, However, some preparation is required:

•Large solids, such as, bones, large seeds, shells, skins, leafy vegetables, meat trimmings etc., should be removed either by scraping into a wastebasket, or into your food disposer.

•Large amounts of any type of leftover food should also be scraped into a wastebasket or into your food disposer.

•Pots and pans that have burned-on food, the food is

blackened, should be pre-soaked and scoured. The dishwasher cannot remove burned-on food.

•Do not place the following items in the dishwasher:

>toothpicks

>small bones and bone slivers

>paper products such as paper plates and paper napkins

>plastic bags or plastic packaging material.

In general, try to remove food scraps and place the items to be washed in the dishwasher before the food has had a chance to dry-on. Dried-on food is more difficult to remove and you may find that the DELICATE/ECONOMY

or lighter washing cycles will not provide a satisfactory result when food has dried on.

If there will be an extended period of time before the

dishwasher will be run it is recommended that the RINSE

& HOLD cycle be used.

Other than the above, no special preparation or pre-rinsing

is required for dishes, pots and pans or utensils with normal amounts of food soil.

TOP RACK ONLY TM WASHING

(SHU & SHI 6800 Series Only)

The SHU and SH1 6800 series dishwashers have a special energy saving feature that allows them to wash the Top Rack OnlyTM. It is recommended, to save energy and water, that anytime you only have a small number of dishes to wash, you use this feature. Use a reduced amount of detergent as compared to a full load when using this feature.

NOTE: The program time is not reduced when TOP

RACK ONLY TM is used.

LOADING THE TOP RACK

Top Rack Washing (Small Wash Load)

The upper rack of the dishwasher has been designed with flexibility in mind. Glasses, cups, plates, bowls and small pots may be loaded in many different positions to fit your needs. Figure 3, shows a typical mixed load for an upper rack washing load.

Silverware should be mixed when placed in the silverware basket to avoid having them nest together. IMPORTANT: Always, however, place pointed and sharp items in the silverware basket pointing down.

Regular Wash Load

The dishwasher should be loaded so that water can circulate freely and reach every part of every item that is

to be cleaned:

•Cups, glasses and containers should be placed in upper rack upside down so that water does not collect in them. Tall narrow vessels, such as a vase or tall glass, should be placed in the lower rack, near the middle, for the best cleaning result.

•The Bosch dishwashers have a special feature

incorporated into the flip down cup shelves on the side of the upper rack. The ends of these shelves are specially formed to help maintain spacing between stemmed glasses. When in the flipped down position long stemmed glasses may be placed in the second row from the edge and placed so their stems rest in the "V" formed ends of the shelves. When the cup shelves are in the up position long stemmed glasses may be placed in the first row with their stems placed

to rest between the tooth like projections of the shelves.

•China, crystal and other delicate items must be placed so that they do not touch each other during dishwasher operation. Chipping or other damage may occur.

•The upper silverware basket may be removed for additional space whcn not using TOP RACK ONLY IM
