SAFETY I. SAFETY m IA. General hazards Don’t use the dishwasher until it is completely installed. When opening the door on an uninstalled dishwasher, carefully open the door while supporting the rear of the unit. Failure to follow this warning can cause the dishwasher to tip over and result in serious injury. In some conditions, hydrogen gas can form in a hot water system that has not been used for weeks. Hydrogen gas is explosive. Before filling a dishwasher from a system tha

INSTALLATION Don’t over tighten the 90° elbow. Doing so may damage the water inlet valve and cause a water leak. Temperatures required for soldering and sweating will damage the dishwasher’s water inlet valve. If plumbing lines are to be soldered or sweated, keep the heat source at least 6 inches (152.4 mm) away from the dishwasher’s water inlet valve. Check local plumbing codes for approved plumbing procedures and accessories. All plumbing should be done in accordance with national an

INSTALLATION If your dishwasher has pre-attached mounting brackets and you have a wooden under-counter, position brackets as far apart as possible by sliding them within slots in direction of arrows. Do not attach them to the countertop yet. If your dishwasher has pre-attached mounting brackets and the counter top is stone, use pliers to rotate bracket flanges to remove brackets from the top. Grasp brackets with pliers at perforation and bend until the rounded end breaks free. Disca

COMPONENTS IV. COMPONENTS IVA. Dishwasher components Tank The tank, made of 304 stainless steel, isn’t available as a service part. Heater Operation Dishwashers use flow-through heaters instead of exposed elements, saving space and allowing taller tanks holding larger dinner plates. Flow-through heaters prevent dishware damage from exposed elements and allow water to be continuously filtered and heated. Heating element Seal NTC/Hi-limit Flow switch To upper spray arm

COMPONENTS Leveling feet (front and rear) The base is supported by three leveling feet, two front and one rear. The rear leveling foot is adjusted from the front. Front feet have provisions for set screws (in installation parts bag). Water switch Motor operated water switches are mounted underneath heater assemblies. They consist of a motor-controlled disk with 3 holes which rotates and lines up over two sump ports (upper / lower spray arms) to provide precise water control to

COMPONENTS Circulation pumps, heaters & sumps for water switch / non-water switch models can’t be interchanged. Circulation pumps Bosch dishwashers use separate circulation and drain pumps to reduce overall size, noise, vibration and energy consumption. This allows the use of tall tanks, increasing overall space inside dishwashers where full-sized plates can be placed in both upper and lower racks. Circulation pumps are suspended by rubber straps to further reduce noise and vibration

COMPONENTS Drain pump Drain pumps are mounted to sumps in the front of dishwashers -- they’re easily accessible from the front of dishwashers by removing toe kicks. Pump specifications Drain pump is rated 120V, 60 Hz, 35W, 0.85A. Solving installation issues Often improper installations, not drain pump issues, cause dishwashers to not drain properly. Must have drain hoses with high loops (min. 20” high) or drains with air gaps. Drain hoses are 6’ long and can be up

COMPONENTS Siphoning Siphoning may occur in any type of drain pump when low water flow allows a siphon (suction) to develop, pulling waste water back into the pump. Sump check valves along with air gaps/high loops prevent siphons from being created. Terminal connections (Rast 5 connectors) Rast 5 terminal connectors provide more positive connections than spade terminals.

COMPONENTS Time-fill water valves look like pressure-fill valves, but have tight part tolerances to insure consistent water levels. Time-fill valves can replace pressure-fill valves, but pressure-fill valves can’t replace time-fill valves. Flowmeter Dishwashers use a flowmeter to provide more accurate water filling. An impeller mounted magnet activates a reed switch. Flowmeters are rated: 3.8 – 14 VDC, 1 ma 2.5 L / min, 0.5 – 10 bar 208 output pulses per liter An arrow

COMPONENTS Condensation tube The condensation tube is crucial for condensation drying, which dries dishes without a heating element in the bottom of the tank. Condensation tubes exit the dishwasher at the right side of the tank. Condensation tubes exit in the rear of dishwasher bases, allowing water vapor to evaporate, and aren’t connected to customer drains. Door spring Using hinge slider (sliding pulley) Hinge sliders (sliding hinge pulleys) are used instead of hinge pulleys.

Replacement door hinge levers contain hinge bushings. Water inlet valve Dishwashers use standard horizontal coil water inlet valves with (Rast 5) connectors. The valve nestles in the left side of the base and is held into place with two screws. When reconnecting the water supply to th

COMPONENTS On/off switch The on/off switch turns the dishwasher on and off and is crucial in resetting controls. Contacts 5 & 6 reset the control. Whenever a control won’t reset or won’t go into wash programs, check the on/off switch and jumper. Replace switch and jumper if they’re faulty. Door latch Other than occasional misalignment, the only door latch repairs will be replacing microswitches. Door latches are held in place in console (frames) by tabs. It’s important latche
