Dishwasher Cycles And Options; Wash Cycle Information - Bosch SHX5ER55UC Guide D'utilisation

Dishwasher Cycles and Options

Wash Cycles (model dependent)
Note: In order to save energy, it is recommended to set the "Auto Power Off" feature (available on select models) to "P:01"
(see manual section titled "Auto Power Off").
Heavy: Best for cleaning items with baked-on food or grease. These dishes would normally require soaking.
Auto: With our most complex soil sensing capability, this cycle is perfect for use with mixed loads of dishware with vary-
ing amounts of food soil. This is the most flexible cycle.
Normal: This is the cycle 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
options and settings, except "Auto Power Off" as noted at the start of this section.
Note 1: See footnote for additional energy test setup instructions.
Delicate: For delicate or heirloom dishware and silverware or other special items. Always make sure that the items
are dishwasher safe. Refer to the Dishware Materials section of this manual for further information. Hand washing
may be the best treatment for such items.
Express: Cleans lightly soiled dishes and reduces overall wash time. Use this cycle to clean glasses and dessert dish-
ware that may need to be reused at the same event.
Wash Cycle Options
Delay Start: Allows you to delay the start time of your dishwasher in one hour increments up to 24 hours.
Half Load Option: In the Heavy, Auto, Normal, and Delicate wash cycles, the Half Load option can reduce the energy and
water consumption when washing small, lightly soiled loads that fill approximately half of the dishwasher's capacity. To
activate, select the Half Load button in addition to any of the three cycles listed above.
Sanitize: The Sanitize feature is available only in the Heavy, Auto and Normal cycles. Press the "Sanitize Option" button to
activate the Sanitation features during the Auto and Normal cycles. The Sanitize symbol
or LED will always be on when running a Heavy cycle. The technical sanitation measures may also improve the drying
results.
Note: The dishwasher automatically defaults to Auto Wash when turned off and back on. If you used the sanitize option in
your last cycle, the dishwasher will default to Auto Wash with the Sanitize option selected when you turn it on.

Wash Cycle Information

The cycle times in this Use and Care Manual are based on normal soil loads and 120°F incoming water and will vary based on your actual conditions.

Note: Only sanitizing cycles have been designed to meet the requirements of 6 for soil removal and sanitization efficacy. There is no
intention, either directly or indirectly, that all cycles have passed sanitization performance tests.
Note 1: The Energy Guide label was based on the soil sensing Normal Wash cycle as follows: The unit was tested without any Rinse Aid
(liquid) in the Rinse Aid chamber. A single dose of detergent was inserted into the Detergent Dispenser, with no detergent being used in
the prewash. The unit was not subjected to truncated testing per the definitionsin the test procedure. We recommend that dish loads
such as the one in the energy certificationtest have the rack position set in the highest position.
