Bosch SHV53TL3UC Owner's Manual

18

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

Overall condition of the machine
Never use a steam cleaner to clean your dishwasher. The manufacturer is
not liable for any resulting 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 as they
could scratch the surfaces.

Stainless steel appliances: To prevent corrosion, do not use sponges.

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 stain-
less steel, make sure the rinse agent is full and functioning properly.

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

Filters
The filter system consists of a coarse filter, a flat
fine filter and a micro filter. 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 Fig-

ure 10-11 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.

Spray Arms
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/ appli-

ance cleaners which are particularly suitable 
for use with dishwashers.

• Unscrew the spray arms and inspect as shown in Figure 12.
