To start a cleaning cycle, first load the dishwasher and add detergent. Close the door, then select your desired cleaning program using the control panel. Press the Start button to initiate the cycle.
Check for blockages in the filter, drain hose, and garbage disposal connection. Ensure the drain pump is operational and clear any obstructions. If the problem persists, consider contacting Bosch customer service for assistance.
To clean the filter, remove the lower dish rack and locate the filter at the bottom of the dishwasher. Twist and lift the filter out, rinse it under running water, and remove any debris. Reinstall the filter by aligning it in place and twisting it securely.
Open the rinse aid compartment located on the inside of the dishwasher door. Pour the rinse aid into the compartment until it reaches the max fill line. Close the compartment lid securely.
Ensure that the spray arms are not blocked or clogged and that they can rotate freely. Check that the detergent is fresh and appropriate for your dishwasher. Also, confirm that items are loaded correctly, without blocking the spray arms.
Check for any loose items inside the dishwasher that might be rattling. Ensure that the spray arms are not obstructed. Inspect the dishwasher for any foreign objects that might have fallen into the pump or filter area.
To reset the dishwasher, press and hold the Start button for about 3-5 seconds until the display indicates that the reset process has started. The dishwasher should then drain and be ready for a new cycle.
Refer to the user manual to identify the specific error code. Follow the troubleshooting steps provided for that particular code. If the issue is not resolved, contact Bosch customer support for further assistance.
It is recommended to clean the dishwasher filter and spray arms monthly. Additionally, run an empty cycle with a dishwasher cleaner every few months to remove any buildup and maintain performance.
Yes, the dishwasher has a dedicated program for delicate items such as glassware. Use the Glass program to ensure gentle cleaning and to protect your glassware from damage.
