NOTICE
Never use a steam cleaner to

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.

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.
