How to use

Load dishes according to size and soil level, placing larger items on the sides and rear of the lower basket and delicate items in the upper basket. Add detergent to the dispenser following the detergent manufacturer’s instructions and select the appropriate program using the button controls and built-in display. For heavily soiled cookware, choose the higher temperature or 60min 65°C program; for everyday loads use Eco 50°C or Auto 45-60°C. Start the cycle and, when complete, allow a short cooling period before unloading to avoid contact with hot surfaces and steam.

Usage recommendations

For best results, rinse off large food residues before loading and arrange items to avoid nesting. Use recommended dishwasher detergents and follow dosage guidelines. Regularly check and clean filters to maintain wash performance and periodically run an empty maintenance cycle with a dishwasher cleaner. Connect Bosch Home Connect if remote monitoring or scheduling is required; consult the user manual for setup instructions.
