The upper basket is ideal for glasses‚ cups‚ and smaller items․ Secure delicate items to prevent breakage․ Load cutlery with handles down in the designated basket to prevent injury and ensure thorough cleaning․ Incorrect loading can lead to poor results!

Upper and Lower Basket Arrangement

Strategic Basket Placement: The lower basket handles larger‚ heavily soiled items like pots‚ pans‚ and baking dishes․ Position these facing the spray arm for direct cleaning․ The upper basket accommodates glassware‚ cups‚ and smaller dishes․ Adjust the upper basket height if needed for taller items․

Avoid blocking the detergent dispenser; Ensure items don’t obstruct spray arm rotation․ Properly arranged baskets maximize water circulation and cleaning efficiency․ Overloading reduces performance; leave space between items for optimal results․

Remove food residue before loading․ Avoid overloading; ensure each utensil is individually exposed to the water spray․ Some models feature adjustable sections for enhanced organization․ Proper cutlery arrangement prevents re-soiling and maximizes cleaning performance‚ protecting your valuable silverware․

Detergent and Rinse Aid

Essential for Cleaning: Use only detergents specifically formulated for dishwashers․ Powder‚ gel‚ or tablets are suitable; follow dosage instructions based on water hardness and soil level․ Avoid hand dish soap‚ as it creates excessive suds․ Rinse aid dispenses during the final rinse‚ reducing water spots and enhancing drying․

Regularly check and refill both compartments․ Adjust rinse aid settings for optimal results – higher settings for hard water․ Using the correct detergent and rinse aid ensures sparkling clean dishes and extends dishwasher lifespan․

Recommended Detergent Types

Optimal Results: Bosch dishwashers perform best with high-quality dishwasher detergents․ Powder detergents offer cost-effectiveness‚ while gel detergents dissolve quickly‚ ideal for shorter cycles․ Tablets provide pre-measured convenience‚ but ensure they dissolve completely․ Consider “all-in-one” tablets containing rinse aid and salt‚ though separate additions often yield superior results․

Avoid detergents with bleach if you have delicate items․ Enzyme-based detergents effectively tackle food residue․ Always store detergents in a cool‚ dry place‚ tightly sealed‚ to maintain their potency and prevent clumping․

Rinse Aid Compartment and Settings

Spotless Dishes: The rinse aid compartment‚ typically located inside the dishwasher door‚ dispenses rinse aid during the final rinse cycle․ This reduces water spots and enhances drying․ Adjust the rinse aid setting (usually 1-6) based on water hardness; higher settings for harder water․

A refill indicator alerts you when to add more rinse aid․ Using the correct amount prevents streaks and ensures sparkling clean dishes․ Regularly check the compartment and adjust the setting as needed for optimal results․

Be aware that cancelling mid-cycle may leave detergent residue․ If cancelling during the drying phase‚ allow the dishwasher to cool before opening․ Drain any remaining water before restarting or unloading․

Maintenance and Cleaning

Regular upkeep ensures optimal performance and longevity of your Bosch Series 2 dishwasher․ Periodically clean the spray arms to remove any food particles obstructing the water jets – simply unscrew and rinse thoroughly․ Crucially‚ the filter requires regular cleaning; remove and rinse under running water‚ removing debris․

Wipe down the door seal with a damp cloth to prevent leaks․ Run a dishwasher cleaner cycle monthly to eliminate grease and odors․ Avoid abrasive cleaners‚ as they can damage the interior surfaces․

Cleaning the Spray Arms

Maintaining clean spray arms is vital for effective dishwashing․ Food particles can clog the nozzles‚ reducing cleaning performance․ To clean‚ first‚ turn off and unplug the dishwasher․ Locate the spray arms – typically one on the bottom and one on the top rack․ Gently unscrew or detach them‚ consulting your model’s specific instructions․
