To properly load the Bosch Series 2 SMS2ITW08G Dishwasher, place larger items like pots and pans on the bottom rack and smaller items such as plates and glasses on the top rack. Ensure that all items are facing downward or inward towards the spray arms for optimal cleaning. Avoid blocking the detergent dispenser.
If the dishwasher is not draining, check the filter and drain pump for blockages. Ensure the drain hose is not kinked or clogged. If the problem persists, consult the troubleshooting section of the user manual or contact Bosch customer support.
To clean the filter, first remove the lower dish rack. Twist the filter assembly counterclockwise and pull it out. Rinse the filter under running water to remove debris. Reassemble and replace the filter by aligning it with the grooves and twisting it clockwise until secure.
Regularly clean the filter and spray arms, check for blockages, and wipe down the door seals. Use a dishwasher cleaner periodically to remove limescale and grease. Run the dishwasher on a hot cycle without dishes to clean the interior.
To reset the dishwasher, turn it off by pressing the power button. Wait a few minutes, then turn it back on. If the issue continues, consult the user manual for further troubleshooting steps or contact Bosch support.
Ensure you are using a good quality rinse aid and that the rinse aid dispenser is full. Check water hardness settings and adjust if necessary. Consider using a dishwasher detergent with a built-in rinse agent for better results.
Choose a wash cycle based on the type and soil level of your dishes. Use the Eco cycle for energy-efficient washing, the Intensive cycle for heavily soiled pots and pans, and the Quick wash for lightly soiled loads. Refer to the user manual for specific cycle descriptions.
Unusual noises may be due to items touching the spray arms or loose items in the dishwasher. Ensure dishes are properly loaded and that nothing obstructs the spray arms. If noises persist, it could indicate a mechanical issue requiring professional inspection.
Yes, the dishwasher can be used with hard water. It is recommended to use a water softener or add dishwasher salt to the designated compartment to prevent limescale buildup. Adjust the water hardness setting on the dishwasher as per the manual instructions.
To prevent odors, regularly clean the filter and remove food debris from the interior. Run the dishwasher with a dishwasher cleaner or a cup of vinegar on an empty hot cycle. Ensure the dishwasher is slightly open after use to allow moisture to escape.
