Bosch SHU42L User Manual

If your dishwasher will be unused for

an extended period of time in a location
that experiences freezing temperatures
(e.g., in a holiday home or through a
vacation period), you must drain all the
water from the dishwasher’s interior.

a) Turn off the water supply.
b) Disconnect the drain hose, and

allow your dishwasher to completely
drain into a bucket or other appropriate
receptacle.

b) Wait approximately one minute, then

press the On/Off button

c) You may now begin a new cycle.

At the end of the cycle the dishwasher

will stop and a period of condensation
drying will follow.  After 12 - 15 minutes of
drying,
•

the “Clean” indicator will illuminate,

•

the “Sanitized” indicator will illuminate
(except in the Rinse and Hold cycle).

: If your household water supply

is too hot, your dishwasher’s heating
time may be reduced and the “Sanitized”
light may not illuminate. Your Bosch
Dishwasher Installation Manual has
information on the recommended
temperature for your household hot
water supply.

: To accelerate and enhance

drying, open the dishwasher door, pull
the top rack a few inches out of the
dishwasher, and prop the dishwasher
door against the top rack.

b) Wait at least ten seconds or until

water noises stop before opening the
dishwasher door.

c) To resume the cycle, shut the

dishwasher door and press the On/Off
button.

a) To cancel or change a cycle, press

and hold for three seconds the two
buttons labeled “Cancel Drain” as shown
in Figure 15.

Water may occasionally splash out of

your Bosch dishwasher, especially if you
interrupt a cycle or open the dishwasher
door during a cycle. Wipe up spills
immediately.

a) Clean the outer edges of the inside

door panel regularly to remove debris
that might collect there from normal
loading.

b) If spots begin to appear on the

stainless steel tub or inner door, make
sure the rinse agent reservoir is full.

Occasionally check the spray arms to

ensure that the spray nozzles are
unobstructed. You must remove the
spray arms to check them for
obstruction.

a) Remove the empty top rack from the

dishwasher.

b) Turn the rack upside-down. The top

spray arm is held in position by a locking
nut as shown in Figure 17A. Turn the
locking nut counter-clockwise 1/8 turn
and remove it, as shown in Figure 17B to
release the spray arm.

When the “Sanitized” light illuminates, it

means that the dishware and kitchenware
that was just washed has been sanitized
according to the requirements of the
National Sanitation Foundation (NSF). For
more information on NSF certification, go
to the Wash Cycle Information section of
this manual.

a) Unload the bottom rack first.

Dishwasher” section of this manual).
