Bosch SPE53U5XUC Operating Guide

Note: In order to save energy, it is recommended to set the “Auto Power Off” feature to “P:01” (see the “Auto
Power Off” section of this manual).
Heavy: Best for cleaning items with baked-on food or grease. These dishes would normally require soaking.
Auto:

 This is the most flexible cycle. With our most complex soil sensing capability, this cycle is perfect

for use with mixed loads of dishware with varying amounts of food soil. 
Normal: The Normal cycle is recommended for daily, regular, or typical use to completely wash a full load of
normally soiled dishes. 
In order to obtain optimal performance with minimum energy consumption, it is recommended to disable all available
features except Auto Power Off as noted at the start of this section.
Note 1: See footnote for additional energy test setup instructions.
Rinse: Allows you to rinse food soil off of a partial load and hold them in the dishwasher until you are
ready to run a full load.

Delay Start: Allows you to delay the start time of your dishwasher in one hour increments up to 24 hours.
Delicate:  Available only in the Heavy, Auto and Normal cycles. This option’s lower temperature will
reduce the risk of cloudy glasses. 
Sanitize: The Sanitize feature is available only in the Heavy, Auto and Normal cycles. Select one of these 
cycles, press the “Sanitize Option” button and then press Start to activate the Sanitation features. The 
sanitize LED will light when sanitation requirements are met. The technical sanitation measures may also 
improve the drying results.
Note: The dishwasher automatically defaults to Auto when turned off and back on. If you used the sanitize

option in your last cycle, the dishwasher will default to Auto with the Sanitize option selected when you turn it on.
Extra Shine®: Used in combination with a wash cycle (except Rinse), the Extra Shine® option raises the tem-
perature and extends the drying time to further enhance drying results and provides a brilliant shine.
