ADDING R]NSE AGENT
Rinse Agent
Rinse agent, or a rinse aid, is used to provide
optimum drying results and diminish water spotting. AhHays use a rinse agent with the Bosch
dishwasher to insure proper drying results. It
rinses the dishware and also rinses the internal
parts of the dishwasher.

figure 21

To Fill the Rinse Agent Reservoir:
1. Open the dishwasher door fully.
2. Open the cover of the rinse agent dispenserby
pressing the star on the cover with your index
finger while pulling on the tab with your thumb.
3. Add rinse agent to the reservoir until the level
indicatorturns dark, indicatingthat the reservoir
is full (capacity is approx. 3.5 oz.).

Rinseagent level indicator

Rinse Agent
Dispenser Regulator
The rinse agent reservoir of the Bosch dishwasher is
provided with a regulator calibrated from I to 6. (See

Figure 22

Figure 21.) This regulator controls the amount of
rinse agent dispensed. The dishwasher leaves the
factory preset to 4. However,
• if you see streaks, you should turn the
regulator to a lower number.
• if you see water spots,you should turn
the regulator to a higher number.

Rinse Agent Znd_cator Ught
Some models are equipped with an additional rinse
aid indicator light on the conb'ol panel. When the
rinse agent dispenser is empty, the indicatorlight will
glow and the level indicator will show a silver background with black lines.
After filling the rinse agent dispenser, dose the door

Fkjure 23

and wait a few minutes for the indicator light to register.

Condensation Drying
The combination of a high final rinse temperature, the tub's cool stainless steel interior and

Figure 30

the sheeting action of a Rinse Agent result in
effective and efficient drying. The closed condensation drying feature is hygienic, and saves
energy and money.
Note: For BEST DRYING results, it is essential to
use a RINSE AGENT and keep the Rinse
Dispenser FULL. (See Figure 31).

Additional Drying Temperature
for Models SHU995215/6UC:
I. Open the door, hold down the "Regular" button and simultaneously turn the dishwasher on.
The display will blink with a code of "0" or "1".
Release the buttons. You are in program mode.
2. If the display blinks with a "0'_ you are programmed
for a lower temperature rinse. If the display blinks
with a "I", you are programmed for a higher temperature rinse, thus improving dish drying.
3. To change the program code, press the _Regular" button.
4-.When you have the desired code selected, turn
the dishwasher off to take it out of program mode.
• Note: For the SHV 6800 models, push "Power
Scrub" button in lieu of "Regular" button.

Figure 31

Unloading
When unloading the dishwasher always unload the
lower rack first and then unload the upper rack. This
will minimize the chance of water drops from the
upper rack falling on the dishes in the lower rack.
The silverware basket(s) of the Bosch dishwasher
can be removed for easy unloading.
The dishware tends to get hot immediately following
a completed cyde. If the door is opened slightly for
a few minutes before unloading, the disheswill cool
more quickly.

ensure that the spray orifices are dear and unobstructed.

If the wash arms require cleaning they

are easy to remove and replace:

place. Pull gently upwards to remove it.
The upper wash arm is held in posilJon
by a locking nut. Turn the locking ring

3, After cleaning, reinstall the wash arms.

Clean Stainless Steel Tank
and Inner Door
Clean the outer edges of the inside door panel
regularly to remove food particles that can gather
there from normal loading. If spots begin to appear on the stainless steel tank or inner door, check
to make sure that the rinse agent reservoir is full.

Clean Outer Door
Colored

Doors

Use only soft cloth that is lightly dampened with
soapy water. Do not use paper towels or an abrasive doth.

For best results, apply stainless steel

cleaner directly to the cloth, then wipe the surface. Do not use metal scouring pads to clean
the stainless steel surfaces as these can scratch
the surface and leave metal fragments that can
rust.

Clean Door Gasket
Clean t_e door gasket regularly to remove food
particles that can gather from normal leading. If
necessary clean the door gasket using a damp
cloth.
