OPERATION
Once detergent has been added and before closing the
door of the dishwasher be sure to check the two wash
arms to ensure that they are free to move. If something
is blocking the motion of the arms, such as a utensil ex-
tending below one of the baskets or an exceptionally tall
object in the lower basket, move the offending item.
With the detergent in the dishwasher and arms free to
move:
• Close the door of the dishwasher making sure that
dooz latches closed
• Depress the button for the cycle you have selected
• Turn the sequence monitor dial to start and depress
the on/off switch. The indicator light above the on/off
button
will become
illuminated
to indicate
the
dishwasher is on and the cycle will begin.
To turn off the dishwasher in mid-cycle, simply depress
the on/off button. The indicator light above the on/off
button will turn off to indicate the dishwasher is off.
Please note: At the end of the program cycle the indi-
cator light above the on/off button will remain lit at the
completion
of the selected program. To turn off the
on/off
indicator light it is necessary to depress the
on/off button as described on page 5 under the title
PROGRAM SEQUENCE MONITOR.
UNLOADING
When unloading the dishwasher
always unload the
lower rack first and then unload the upper rack. This
sequence
of unloading will minimize the chance of
drops from the upper rack falling on the dishes in the
lower
rack.
The silverware
basket
of the Bosch
dishwasher has a handle to allow easy removal of the
basket to your silverware drawer for unloading.
Note: If you have inadvertently loaded the silverware
basket with the knife blades up it is recommended,
to avoid cutting yourself while unloading, that you
remove the silverware basket from the dishwasher
and tip the contents out onto a cutting board.
Also, when unloading, it is recommended that the dis-
hes be allowed to cool before handling. The dishes will
cool more quickly if the door is opened slightly.

RACK HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT (SMU 4000 Series only)
The upper rack is adjustable. There are two positions,
see figure 9:
• The rack may be placed in the upper position to
provide more room for items to be placed in the
lower rack,
or
• the rack may be placed in the lower positionto provide
additional room for items to be placed in the upper
rack,
or
• the rack may be placed with one side up and the other
side down, to provide additional room on only one
side.
To reposition rack:
1. First empty upper rack and pull rack partially out to
allow access to the latches at the front of the roller
channels.
2. Release the latches on both channels, left and right,
by flipping them towards the outside of the dishwasher.
3. Pull the rack forward until rollers are completely free
of channels.
4. Push the channels back into the dishwasher until they
stop. With the channels in this position it is easier to
reinsert the rack.
5. Reinsert rack with other set of rollers in channels, or
if it is desired to have one side up and the other,
down, reinsert making sure that the rollers are being
placed into the channels as desired.
6. With all rollers within channels close latchesby flipping

CARE and CLEANING
The Bosch SMU 2000/4000 series dishwashers have a
triple filter system comprised of: a microfilter, a fine filter
and a coarse filter. The microfilter is self-cleaning, but
the coarse filter and fine filter will sometimes be found
to have collected items, from bones to toothpicks or
straws that have been left on the plates or in the glasses.
For this reason the following maintenance should be
observed:
•
Filters
The coarse filter should be checked on a regular basis.
Lift the filters, using the convenient handle, as shown
in figure 10 and examine the filters. If large solids,
such as bones, or large seed are present remove the
