Care and Maintenance
A regular inspection and 
maintenance of your machine will 
help to prevent faults. This saves time 
and prevents future problems.
Overall condition of the 
dishwasher
NOTICE
■ Never use a steam cleaner to 
clean your dishwasher. The 
manufacturer is not liable for any 
resulting damage.
■ Regularly wipe the front of the 
appliance with a damp cloth - 
water and a small amount of 
liquid soap is adequate. Do not 
use sponges as they could 
scratch the surfaces.
■ Do not use bleach-based wipes 
as they could damage the surface 
or printing.
■ Stainless steel appliances: To 
prevent corrosion, do not use 
sponges or chlorine based 
cleaners. Use a stainless steel 
polish to seal and protect the 
surface. Do not use chlorine 
based cleaners or wipes.
■ Clean the outer edges of the 
inside door panel regularly to 
remove debris that may collect 
from normal loading. If spots 
begin to appear on the stainless 
steel, make sure the rinse agent is 
full and functioning properly.
■ Clean the door seal regularly with 
a damp cloth to remove food 
particles that may collect from 
normal loading and cause odor. A 
soiled door seal may not seal 
properly.
9 WARNING
Use caution when removing 
parts for cleaning as some 
debris may be sharp.
Filters
The Bosch
®
 filter system 1b is 
designed to prevent the need to 
pre-rinse normally attached food soils 
from your dishes. Simply scrape 
leftover food soils off of dishware 
before loading. This process will 
conserve time, water and the energy 
require to heat your household water 
supply.
Your dishwasher filter system is 
designed to filter 100% of the water 
entering the spray arms to provide a 
continuous supply of clean water to 
remove food soils from your 
dishware.
Filter components
The filter system 1b consists of 
three parts.
A Large Object Trap
Prevents objects that should not 
be placed in your dishwasher 
from damaging the dishwasher 
pump system or clogging your 
household drain.
