3.2 Why the Dishwasher May Not Start

The Bosch Series 2 dishwasher may fail to start due to issues like a kinked supply hose‚ blocked wastewater hose‚ or a sealed siphon connection. Additionally‚ a turned-off water tap‚ loose wastewater pump cover‚ or an overfilled detergent dispenser can prevent it from starting. Ensuring all connections are clear and properly aligned often resolves the issue. Always refer to the manual for specific guidance on diagnosing and fixing startup problems effectively.

Operating Instructions

For optimal performance‚ load dishes correctly‚ ensuring spray arms rotate freely. Select the right cycle based on load size and soil level for efficient cleaning results.

4.1 Loading the Dishwasher Correctly

Load dishes facing the center‚ ensuring spray arms rotate freely. Place glasses and cups on the top rack‚ and utensils in the designated holder. Remove large food remnants and avoid overcrowding racks. For optimal cleaning‚ arrange plates and bowls to allow water to flow freely. Ensure fragile items are secured and not resting on sharp edges. Proper loading ensures efficient cleaning and prevents damage to dishes and the appliance.

4.2 Selecting the Right Wash Cycle

Select the wash cycle based on the type of dishes and their soil level. For heavily soiled items‚ use the “Heavy Duty” cycle. For everyday cleaning‚ the “Auto” or “Normal” cycle is ideal; Delicate items like glassware benefit from the “Light/China” cycle. Energy-conscious users can opt for the “Eco” mode‚ which saves water and energy. Always refer to the manual for cycle recommendations to ensure optimal cleaning and protect your dishes.

Maintenance and Care Tips

Regular maintenance ensures optimal performance and longevity of your Bosch Series 2 Dishwasher. Clean filters‚ check spray arms‚ and refill salt and rinse aid as needed.

5.1 Cleaning Filters and Spray Arms

Regularly cleaning the filters and spray arms is crucial for maintaining your Bosch Series 2 Dishwasher’s performance. Remove and rinse the filters after each use to eliminate food residues. Soak them in warm water if heavily soiled. For spray arms‚ check for blockages and clean out debris. This ensures proper water circulation and prevents poor washing results. Cleaning these components regularly helps maintain efficiency and extends the appliance’s lifespan.

5.2 Checking and Refilling Dishwasher Salt and Rinse Aid

Regularly check the dishwasher salt and rinse aid levels to ensure optimal performance. The salt replenishes the water softener‚ preventing lime scale buildup‚ while rinse aid improves drying and reduces water spots. To refill‚ locate the salt dispenser at the base and the rinse aid compartment near the detergent tray. Fill both according to the manual’s guidelines. Proper levels ensure cleaner dishes and maintain the appliance’s efficiency over time.
