General Loading Tips
• Load dishwasher so water can circulate freely
and reach every part of item.
• Do not allow delicate items to touch - they
could be damaged.
• Place items upside down - so water does not
collect inside of them.
• Place items so that nothing prob'udes through
the bottom of the racks - this could block the
rotation of the spray arms.

ADDING DETERGENT
Selecting the Right Detergent
Use only dishwashing detergent in your Bosch dish-
washer. It is highly recommended to use powder
detergent that DOES NOT contain a drying agent
additive. Use of other types of detergents may re..................
suit in excessive suds. Concentrated detergents
usuallycall for lower usage than standard detergents.
Please refer to Table 2 for recommended detergent
usage.
Filling the
Detergent Dispenser
1. Locate the detergent dispenser on the inside
door of the dishwasher (see Figure 1).
2. Open the detergent dispenser cover by push-
ing the release tab.
3. Fill dispenser. Refer to Table 2 to determine the
amount of detergent necessary for your water
and wash type. Use the measurement lines in-
side the detergent dispenser as a fill guide.
4. Close dispenser. With fingers on arrow, slide
cover over the detergent chamber and press
down on the arrow until it clicks shut.

ADDING R]NSE AGENT
Rinse Agent
Rinse agent, or a rinse aid, is used to provide
optimum drying results and diminish water spot-
ting. 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.
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.).
Rinse Agent
Dispenser Regulator
The rinse agent reservoir of the Bosch dishwasher is
provided with a regulator calibrated from I to 6. (See
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 ahigher number.

Rinseagent level indicator
Figure 22
Rinse Agent Znd_cator Ught
Some models are equipped with an additional rinse
aid indicator light on the conb'olpanel. When the
rinse agent dispenser is empty, the indicatorlight will
glow and the level indicatorwill show asilver back-
ground with black lines.
After fillingthe rinse agent dispenser, dose the door
and wait a few minutes for the indicatorlight to reg-
ister.

Condensation Drying
The combination of a high final rinse tempera-
ture, the tub's cool stainless steel interior and
the sheeting action of a Rinse Agent result in
effective and efficient drying. The closed con-
densation drying feature is hygienic, and saves
energy and money.
Figure 30
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

I. Open the door, hold down the "Regular" but-
ton 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 tem-
perature rinse, thus improving dish drying.
3. To change the program code, press the _Regu-
lar" 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

The Top Rack Only-- Cyde
Some BOSCH models have aTop Rack Only cycle
that saves energy and water when you have only a
small load of dishes. Also, youll use less detergent
for the Top Rack Only cycle. The washing time,
however, is not reduced.
The upper rackof the dishwasher hasbeen designed
with flexibility in mind. You can load glasses, cups,
plates, bowls and small pots in many different posi-
tions to fit your needs. Figure 34 shows atypical
mixed load placedcorrectly inthe upper rack for the
Top Rack Only cycle.
OpUMzSER
(SHU9950 & SHV6800 models only)
The OptiMISER Cycle is used in conjunction with an-
other wash cycle. OptiHISER cuts down the amount
of time it takes to wash a load of dishes.
1. Turn dishwasher on.
2. Choose a wash program and push it's button.
3. Then, push the OptiHISER button.

CARE AND CLEANING
Check Wash Arms
The wash arms should be checked periodically to
ensure that the spray orifices are dear and unob-
structed. If the wash arms require cleaning they
are easy to remove and replace:
1. The lower wash arm simply snaps into
place. Pull gently upwards to remove it.
The upper wash arm is held in posilJon
by a locking nut. Turn the locking ring
approximately 1/8 turn clockwise to re-
lease the arm. See Figure 40
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 ap-
pear 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 abra-
sive doth.
Stainless St_l Doom:
Use a soft cloth with a non-abrasive stainless steel
cleaner. For best results, apply stainless steel
cleaner directly to the cloth, then wipe the sur-
face. 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.

Rinse-aid dispenser is empty. Fill rinse-aid dispenser.
A fuse may have biown or a circuit breaker tripped. Replace fuse or
reset circuit breaker at your fuse box/breaker box.
Door of dishwasher not properly dosed. Close dishwasher making
sure that door latches.
If the dishwasher completes the cycle, but the run time seems
exceptionally long it is probably due to cold incomingwater. To avoid
this problem it is recommended that before starting the dishwasher:
open the hot water faucet at the sink nearest the dishwasher and
run the water until it runs hot. Then turn off the water and start the
dishwasher.
Water line is closed or inlet filter is blocked. Open water valve and/or
check inlet filter.
Kink in drain hose, Filter clogged. Kitchen sink dogged. Air gap (type
installed at sink) clogged. Check drain hose and fine and coarse
filters (see section titled CARE and CLEANING). Check kitchen sink to
make sure it is draining well. If problem is kitchen sink not draining
you may need a plumber rather than a serviceman for the dishwasher.
Aprogram was not completely finished.
Remove lower spray arm and cleanarm and spray arm mounts.
Too little rinse-aid.
Too much rinse-aid used.
Utensils not properly arranged.
Incorrect type of detergent used. Use only automatic dishwasher
detergents.
•Incorrect amount of detergent or rinse agent,
•Utensils incorrectlyarranged or rack overloaded.
• Wash arm rotation blocked by utensils.
• Filters not properly fitted into position.
• Clogged nozzles in wash arm(s)
