Dishware Drying

NOTE: Check the Dishwasher Options section of this manual for information on the Additional Drying Heat option.

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 may illuminate depending on the cycle selected and the conditions.

•The Cycle Completion Signal will

sound depending on the setting. 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.

- The Cycle Completion Signal

This Cycle Completion Signal is a tone that sounds when your Bosch dishwasher finishes washing and drying your dishes. You can either disable the tone, or you can set it at one of two volumes (your dishwasher leaves our factory with the tone set on the lower volume).

To change the Cycle Completion Signal Volume:

a) Open the dishwasher door far enough to expose the control buttons.

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.

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.
