3.2 AquaSensor
The AquaSensor is an optical
measuring device (light barrier)
which measures the turbidity of
the washing water. You can save
water with the AquaSensor.
The operation of the AquaSensor
depends on the selected cycle. If
the soiling level is high, the wash-
ing water is drained off and re-
placed with fresh water. If the soil-
ing level is lower, the washing wa-
ter is used in the next rinse, so re-
ducing water consumption by 3-6
liters. In the Auto cycles the tem-
perature and run time are addi-
tionally adjusted to the level of
soiling.

Dishwasher Cycles
Below is an overview of the different cycles available on your dish-
washer.
The running time may vary depending on the cycle selected. The running
time depends on the water temperature, the quantity of dishware, the
level of dirt and the option selected. The running time will change if the
rinse aid system is switched off or rinse aid needs to be added. The con-
sumption values relate to normal conditions and a water hardness of 16 -
20 °E. Different influencing factors such as water temperature or pipe
pressure may result in deviations.

5.1 Energy Guide
The Energy Guide label was
based on the Normal soil sensing
cycle.
The unit was tested without any
rinse aid (liquid) in the rinse aid
dispenser. A single dose of deter-
gent was inserted into the deter-
gent dispenser, with no detergent
being used in the prewash. The
unit was not subjected to trun-
cated testing per the definitions in
the test procedure. We recom-
mend that dish loads such as the
one in the energy certification test
have the rack position set in the
highest position. Recommended
for daily, regular or typical use to
completely wash a full load of nor-
mally soiled dishes.
5.2 Favorite
With this function, you can save a
combination of a Cycle and an
Option.
You can save the selected Cycle
and Option combination via the
Home Connect app or on the ap-
pliance.

grammed to this button and is fine

suitable for your appliance.
10.1 The correct
detergents
Only use detergents that are
made for dishwashers, either ba-
sic or combination detergents.
For the best washing and drying
results, use a separate detergent,
then add Rinse aid →

separately.
Modern, powerful detergents
mainly use a low-alkaline formula-
tion with enzymes. Enzymes
break down starch and remove
protein. Oxygen-based bleaching
agents are generally used to re-
move colored stains, e.g. tea or
ketchup.
Note:Follow the manufacturer's
instructions for each detergent.

times tabs do not
dissolve entirely and
leave residues of de-
tergent. This may re-
duce its effective-
ness.
Powder
detergent
Powder detergent is
recommended for
shorter cycles. The
dosage can be ad-
justed to the level of
soiling.
Liquid de-
tergent
Liquid detergent
works faster and is
recommended for
shorter cycles with-
out a pre-rinse.
Sometimes liquid
detergent may leak
out despite the de-
tergent dispenser
being closed. This is
not a problem, just
remember the fol-
lowing:
¡ Only choose a cy-
cle without Pre-
Rinse.
¡ Do not use the

10.2 Incompatible
detergents
Do not use a detergent which is
not designated for dishwasher use
or contains chlorine.

Liquid hand
soap can cause
increased froth-
ing and dam-

residue on
dishware.
10.3 Information on
Detergent
Follow the instructions on deter-
gents in everyday use.
¡ Detergents marked as "ecologi-
cal" (environmentally friendly)
generally contain lower levels
of active agents or none at all.
The cleaning effect may be re-
duced.
¡ Adjust the rinse aid and the wa-
ter softening system settings in
accordance with the detergent
or combination detergent in
use.
¡ Any rinse aid component of a
combination detergent has lim-
ited effectiveness. You will
have better results using a sep-
arate rinse aid.
¡ To prevent sticking, only touch
detergents in a water-soluble
pouch with dry hands and only
ever place them in a dry deter-
gent dispenser.
¡ Even if the rinse aid and spe-
cial salt refill indicators light up,
the wash cycles will run prop-
erly with combination deter-
gents.
¡ Use tablets with enhanced dry-
ing results.
10.4 Adding Detergent
1. To open the detergent dis-
penser, press the locking latch.
2. Add the detergent to the dry
detergent dispenser.
3 tbsp (45 ml)
1.75 tbsp
(25 ml)
1 tbsp (15 ml)
If you are using tablets, one is
enough. Insert the tablets in a
horizontal position.
If you are using powder or liq-
uid detergent, follow the manu-
facturer's instructions and
quantities for dosage in the de-
tergent dispenser.
1.5 to 1.75 Tbsp (20 ml – 25
ml) detergent is sufficient for
normal soiling. If dishware is
only lightly soiled, slightly less
than the amount of detergent
specified is usually sufficient.
3. Close the lid of the detergent
dispenser.
a The lid clicks into position.
a The detergent dispenser will
open automatically at the opti-
mum time during the cycle.

sure that tablets can dissolve
evenly, do not place any other
objects in the tablet collecting
tray.

Tips
¡ Using the appliance allows you
to save energy and water com-
pared to doing dishes by hand.
¡ See our website for examples
of how to load your appliance
efficiently.
¡ To save energy and water, load
the machine with the number of
place settings specified (stan-
dard load with dishes and sil-
verware).
¡ For better washing and drying
results, position items with
curves or recesses at an angle
so water can run off.
1. Remove large remnants of food
from dishware.
To save resources, do not pre-
rinse dishware under running
water.
2. Observe the following when ar-
ranging dishware:
Put heavily soiled dishware
in the lower rack, e.g. pans.
The more powerful spray jet
ensures that the dishwashing
result will be better.
To avoid damage to dish-
ware, arrange it so it is sta-
ble and cannot tip over.
To avoid injury, arrange sil-
verware with the points and
sharp edges facing down.
Position containers with the
openings facing down so no
water can collect in them.
Do not block the spray arms
- make sure that they can
turn freely.
Dishware en-us

Do not place small parts in
the collecting tray and do not
block it with dishware so as
not to obstruct the lid of the
detergent dispenser.
11.3 Removing dishware
CAUTION
Dishes can be very hot immedi-
ately after the cycle ends.
Open the door slightly and al-
low dishes to cool for a few
minutes before unloading.

such parts. Bosch's sole liability
and responsibility hereunder is to
repair manufacturer-defective
Product only, using a Bosch au-
thorized service provider during
normal business hours. For safety
and property damage concerns,
Bosch highly recommends that
you do not attempt to repair the
Product yourself, or use a non-au-
thorized service provider; Bosch
will have no responsibility or liabil-
ity for damage resulting from re-
pairs or work performed by a non-
authorized service provider. Au-
thorized service providers are
those persons or companies that
have been specially trained on
Bosch products, and who pos-
sess, in Bosch's opinion, a supe-
rior reputation for customer ser-
vice and technical ability (note
that they are independent entities
and are not agents, partners, affili-
ates or representatives of Bosch).
Nevertheless, taking your product
to be serviced by a repair shop
that is not affiliated with or an au-
thorized dealer of Bosch will not
void this warranty. Also, using
third-party parts will not void this
warranty. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, Bosch will not incur any
liability, or have responsibility, for
the Product if it is located in a re-
mote area (more than 100 miles
from an authorized service
provider) or is reasonably inac-
cessible, hazardous, threatening,
or treacherous locale, surround-
ings, or environment; in any such
event, if you request, Bosch would
still pay for labor and parts and
ship the parts to the nearest au-
thorized service provider, but you
would still be fully liable and re-
sponsible for any travel time or
other special charges by the ser-
vice company, assuming they
agree to make the service call.
Further, to the extent you have in-
stalled the Product in a difficult-to-
access location or have otherwise
installed temporary or permanent
fixtures that create barriers to ac-
cessing or removing the Product,
Bosch will not incur any liability
for, or have responsibility, for work
or costs associated with moving
the Product or otherwise creating
access to the Product in order to
repair or replace it. All such costs
shall be your sole responsibility.

ting of breakers or fuses
