Bosch SGE53U56UC Operating Guide

A regular inspection and maintenance of your machine will help to prevent faults. This saves time and
prevents future problems.

Never use a steam cleaner to clean your dishwasher. The manufacturer is not responsible for any con-
sequential 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 with a rough surface or abrasive detergents, as these could scratch the
surfaces.
Stainless steel appliances: To prevent corrosion, avoid using sponge cloths or chlorine based cleaners.
Use a stainless steel polish to seal and protect the surface.
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.

Use caution when removing parts for cleaning as some debris may be sharp.

The filter system consists of a coarse filter, a flat fine filter and a micro fil-
ter. The filters keep large foreign objects in the rinsing water away from the
pump. Foreign objects may occasionally block the filters. 
Check the filters for residue by:
• Unscrew the filter cylinder as illustrated in Figures 11-12 and take out the 

filter system.

• Remove any residue and clean filters under running water.
• Reinstall filter system in reverse sequence and ensure that the arrow 

marks are facing each other after locking it into place.

Check spray arms for grease and limescale deposits.
If you find such deposits:
• Fill detergent dispenser with detergent and start the appliance without 

utensils in the cycle with the highest rinsing temperature (see wash 
cycle information table).

• Clean the appliance with detergents/ appliance cleaners which are par-

ticularly suitable for use with dishwashers.

• Unscrew the spray arms and inspect as shown in Figure 13.
