SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS!
1. Use Bosch dishwashers only for their intended function, which is the washing of household
dishware and kitchenware.
2. Bosch dishwashers are provided with one manual which contains the Installation Instructions, and
the Use and Care Manual. Read and understand all instructions before using the dishwasher.
3. Use only detergents or wetting agents recommended for use in a dishwasher, and keep them out
of the reach of children.
4. When loading items to be washed:
a. Locate sharp items so that they are not likely to damage the door seal.
b. Load knives and other sharp utensils with their HANDLES UP to reduce the risk of cut-type
injuries.
5. Do not wash plastic items unless they are marked “dishwasher safe” or the equivalent. For plastic
items not so marked, check the manufacturer’s recommendations.
6. Do not operate your dishwasher unless all enclosure panels are in place.
7. Do not tamper with or override controls and interlocks.
8. Do not abuse, sit on, or stand on the door or dish racks of the dishwasher.
9. To reduce the risk of injury, do not allow children to play in or on the dishwasher.
10. Under certain conditions, hydrogen gas may be produced in a hot water system that has not
been used for two weeks or more. Hydrogen gas is explosive. Before using a dishwasher that is
connected to a hot water system that has been unused for two weeks or longer, turn on all hot
water faucets and let the water flow from each for several minutes. This will release any accu-
mulated hydrogen gas. As the gas is explosive, do not smoke or use an open flame during this
time.
11. Remove the door to the washing compartment when removing an old dishwasher from service or
discarding.
12. To avoid floor damage and possible mold growth, do not allow wet areas to remain around or
under the dishwasher.
