Bosch Series 6 SMS6ZDW48G Quick Instruction Guide

To start a wash cycle, load your dishes, add detergent, select your desired program using the program selector, and press the start button. Ensure the door is closed properly to begin the cycle.
Check the drain hose for kinks or blockages, clean the filter and pump area, and ensure the sink drain is not clogged. If the problem persists, contact Bosch customer service.
To clean the filter, remove the lower rack, turn the filter counterclockwise, and lift it out. Rinse it under running water to remove debris, and reassemble it by placing it back and turning it clockwise until it locks.
Place large items such as pots and pans on the bottom rack, and smaller items like glasses and cups on the top rack. Ensure that dishes do not block the spray arms and that they are angled for water to reach all surfaces.
Clean the spray arms about once a month or if you notice that your dishes are not being cleaned properly. Remove the arms, rinse them under water, and use a small brush to clear any blockages from the nozzles.
Unusual noises can be caused by items striking the spray arms or improperly loaded dishes. Check that dishes are secured and not touching each other or the dishwasher walls.
Ensure you are using the correct amount and type of detergent, and that the rinse aid level is sufficient. Check that the water temperature is set to at least 120°F (49°C) and that the spray arms are not blocked.
To reset your dishwasher, press and hold the start button for about 3 seconds until the display indicates the reset process is complete. Release the button and wait for the dishwasher to drain and reset.
Regular maintenance includes cleaning the filter, spray arms, and door seals monthly, checking the drain for blockages, and ensuring that the water softener is functioning if applicable.
No, the dishwasher requires a water supply to function properly. Wait until the water is restored before attempting to run a wash cycle to avoid potential damage.
