Safe installation
Follow the instructions when installing the appliance. ATTENTION! ¡ Improper installation of the appli-
ance may cause damage. If the dishwasher is installed
above or below other domestic appliances, follow the information on installation in combination with a dishwasher in the installation instructions for the individual appliances. If there is no information or if the installation instructions do not include the relevant information, contact the manufacturer of these appliances to check that the dishwasher can be installed above or below these appliances. If no information is available from the manufacturer, the dishwasher should not be installed above or below such appliances. To ensure the safe operation of all domestic appliances, continue following the installation instructions for the dishwasher. Do not install the dishwasher under a hob. Do not install the dishwasher near heat sources, e.g. radiators, heat storage tanks, ovens or other appliances that generate heat. ¡ Modified or damaged water hoses may result in material damage and damage to the appliance. Never kink, crush, modify or cut through water hoses. 10

Only use the water hoses supplied with the appliance or genuine spare hoses.
Never re-use water hoses that have been used before.
¡ If the water pressure is too high or too low, the appliance may not be able to operate properly. Make sure that the water pressure in the water supply system is min. 50 kPa (0.5 bar) and max. 1000 kPa (10 bar). If the water pressure exceeds the maximum value specified, a pressure-reducing valve must be installed between the drinking water connection and the hose set of the appliance.
Safe use
Follow the instructions when using the appliance. ATTENTION! ¡ Escaping water vapour can dam-
age fitted units. When the programme ends,
leave the appliance to cool down for a while before opening the door. ¡ Special salt for dishwashers can damage the tub due to corrosion.

To prevent corrosion, do not use sponge cloths on dishwashers with a stainless steel front or rinse such cloths thoroughly several times before using them for the first time.
Environmental protection Environmentalprotectionandsavingenergy and saving energy
Environmental protection and saving energy
Disposing of packaging
The packaging materials are environmentally compatible and can be recycled. Sort the individual components by
type and dispose of them separately.
Saving energy
If you follow these instructions, your appliance will use less electricity and less water. Use the Eco 50 ° programme.
The Eco 50 ° programme is energy-efficient and environmentally friendly. “Programmes”, Page 17 If you do not have much tableware to wash, use the additional Half Load function.1 The programme will adjust to a lower load and consumption will be reduced. “Additional functions”, Page 19

AquaSensor
The AquaSensor is an optical measuring device (light barrier) which measures the turbidity of the rinsing water. You can save water with the AquaSensor. Use of the AquaSensor depends on the programme. If the soiling level is high, the rinsing water is drained off and replaced with fresh water. If the soiling level is lower, the rinsing water is used in the next wash cycle, so reducing water consumption by 3-6 litres. In the automatic programmes the temperature and run time are additionally adjusted to the level of soiling.

In order to obtain fault-free function of the water softening system, the appliance performs regeneration of the water softening system at regular intervals. Regeneration of the water softening system takes place before the end of the main rinse cycle in all programmes. It will increase the run time and consumption values, e.g. water and electricity.

Overview of consumption values with regeneration the water softening system Here you can find an overview of the maximum additional run time and consumption values during regeneration of the water softening system.

Detergent Detergent
Find Detergent out which detergents are suitable for your appliance.
Suitable detergents
Only use detergents that are suitable for dishwashers. Both separate and combined detergents are suitable. For optimum washing and drying results, use separate detergent, adding “Special salt” Page 24 and “Rinse aid” Page 25 separately.

26

Modern, powerful detergents mainly use a low-alkaline formulation with enzymes. Enzymes break down starch and remove protein. Oxygenbased bleaching agents are generally used to remove coloured marks, e.g. tea or ketchup. Note: Follow the manufacturer’s instructions for each detergent.

Detergent Tabs
Powder detergent Liquid detergent

Description Tabs are suitable for all cleaning functions and do not need to be measured out. With shorter “Programmes” Page 17 tabs sometimes do not dissolve entirely and leave residues of detergent. This may impair the cleaning effect. Powder detergent is recommended for shorter “Programmes” Page 17. The dosage can be adjusted to the level of soiling. Liquid detergent works faster and is recommended for shorter “Programmes” Page 17 without PreRinse. Sometimes liquid detergent may leak out despite the detergent dispenser being closed. This is not a fault and is non-critical if you remember the following: ¡ Only choose a pro-
gramme without PreRinse. ¡ Do not select timer programming for starting the programme.
The dosage can be adjusted to the level of soiling.

Detergenten
Tip: Suitable detergents are available online via our website or from “Customer Service” Page 54.
Separate detergents Separate detergents are products that do not contain components other than detergent, e.g. powder detergent or liquid detergent. With powder and liquid detergent the dosage can be individually adjusted to the level of soiling of the tableware. For better washing and drying results and to avoid damage to the appliance, please additionally use “Special salt” Page 24 and “Rinse aid” Page 25.
Combined detergent Besides conventional separate detergents, a number of products are available with additional functions. These products contain not only detergent but also rinse aid and salt replacement substances (3in1) and, depending on the combination (4in1, 5in1, …), additional components such as glass protection or stainless steel cleaner. According to manufacturers, combined detergents generally only function up to a water hardness of 26 °E. With a water hardness above 26 °E you will need to add special salt and rinse aid. For the best washing and drying results we recommend using special salt and rinse aid from a water hardness of 17 °E. If you are using combined detergent, the washing programme is adjusted automatically to ensure the best possible washing and drying result.

Information on detergents
Follow the instructions on detergents in everyday use. ¡ Detergents marked as “organic” or
“ecological” (environmentally friendly) generally contain lower levels of active agents or completely dispense with certain substances. The cleaning effect may be restricted here. ¡ Set the rinse aid and the water softening system to the separate detergent or combined detergent in use. ¡ According to manufacturers, combined detergents with salt replacement substances can only be used up to a certain water hardness, usually 26 °E, without adding special salt. For the best washing and drying results we recommend using special salt from a water hardness of 17 °E. ¡ To prevent sticking, only touch detergents in a water-soluble pouch with dry hands and only ever place them in a dry detergent dispenser. ¡ Even if the rinse aid and special salt refill indicators light up, washing programmes will run properly with combined detergents.

¡ The function of rinse aid is limited with combined detergents. You will generally get better results using rinse aid.
¡ Use tablets with a special drying performance.
Adding detergent
1. To open the detergent dispenser, press the locking latch.
2. Add the detergent to the dry detergent dispenser.
50 ml 25 ml 15 ml
If you are using tablets, one is enough. Insert the tablets in a horizontal position. If you are using powder or liquid detergent, follow the manufacturer’s instructions and quantities for dosage in the detergent dispenser. 20 ml ­ 25 ml detergent is sufficient for normal soiling. If tableware is only lightly soiled, slightly less than the amount of detergent specified is usually sufficient.

28

3. Close the lid of the detergent dispenser.
a The lid clicks into position. a The detergent dispenser will open
automatically at the optimum time during the programme. Powder or liquid detergent will spread around the washing tank and dissolve there. Tablets will fall into the tablet collecting tray and dissolve in the right dosage. In order to ensure that tablets can dissolve evenly, do not place any other objects in the tablet collecting tray. Tip: If you use powder detergent and select a program with pre-rinse, you can also add a little detergent to the interior door of the appliance.
Tableware Tableware
Only Tableware clean tableware that is suitable for dishwashers. Note: Decorated glassware and parts made of aluminium or silver may fade or discolour with dishwashing. Delicate types of glass may turn cloudy after a few washing cycles.

Arrange tableware
Arrange tableware correctly to optimise the dishwashing result and prevent damage to both the appliance and tableware. Tips ¡ Using the appliance allows you to
save energy and water compared to washing-up by hand. ¡ See our website for examples of how to load your appliance efficiently, free of charge. ¡ To save energy and water, load the machine with the number of place settings specified. “Technical specifications”, Page 55 ¡ For better washing and drying results, position items with curves or recesses at an angle so water can run off.

To save resources, do not prerinse tableware under running water. 2. Observe the following when arranging tableware: ­ Put heavily soiled tableware in
the bottom basket, e.g. pans. The more powerful the spray jet, the better the dishwashing result will be. ­ To prevent damage to tableware, arrange it so it is stable and cannot tip over. ­ To prevent injury, arrange cutlery with the points and sharp edges facing down. ­ Position containers with the openings facing down so no water can collect in them. ­ Do not block the spray arms make sure that they can turn freely. ­ Do not place small parts in the tablet collecting tray and do not block it with tableware so as not to obstruct the lid of the detergent dispenser.

1. Remove large remnants of food from your tableware.

Safety instructions

WARNING: Read all safety warnings, instructions, illustrations and specifications provided with this power tool. Failure to follow all instructions listed below may result in electric shock, fire and/ or serious injury.

Save all warnings and instructions for future reference. The term “power tool” in the warnings refers to your mains operated (corded) power tool or battery-operated (cordless) power tool.

Work area safety

• Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.
• Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases or dust. Power tools create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.
• Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose control.
  Electrical safety
• Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in any way. Do not use any adapter plugs with earthed (grounded) power tools. Unmodified plugs and matching outlets will reduce risk of electric shock.
• Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces, such as pipes, radiators, ranges and refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is earthed or grounded.
• Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of electric shock.
• Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying, pulling or unplugging the power tool. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Damaged or entangled cords increase the risk of electric shock.
• When operating a power tool outdoors, use an extension cord suitable for outdoor use. Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock.
• If operating a power tool in a damp location is unavoidable, use a residual current device (RCD) protected supply. Use of an RCD reduces the risk of electric shock.
  Personal safety
• Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating a power tool. Do not use a power tool while you are tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment of inattention while operating power tools may result in serious personal injury.
• Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye protection. Protective equipment such as a dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat or hearing protection used for appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries.
• Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is in the off-position before connecting to power source and/or battery pack, picking up or carrying the tool. Carrying power tools with your finger on the switch or energising power tools that have the switch on invites accidents.
• Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning the power tool on. A wrench or a key left attached to a rotating part of the power tool may result in personal injury.
• Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This enables better control of the power tool in unexpected situations.
• Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery. Keep your hair and clothing away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair can be caught in moving parts.
• If devices are provided for the connection of dust extraction and collection facilities, ensure these are connected and properly used. Use of dust collection can reduce dust-related hazards.
• Do not let familiarity gained from frequent use of tools allow you to become complacent and ignore tool safety principles. A careless action can cause severe injury within a fraction of a second.
  Power tool use and care
• Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power tool for your application. The correct power tool will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it was designed.
• Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn it on and off. Any power tool that cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
• Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or remove the battery pack, if detachable, from the power tool before making any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing power tools. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the power tool accidentally.
• Store idle power tools out of the reach of children and do not allow persons unfamiliar with the power tool or these instructions to operate the power tool. Power tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
• Maintain power tools and accessories. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts and any other condition that may affect the power tool’s operation. If damaged, have the power tool repaired before use. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained power tools.
• Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control.
• Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc. in accordance with these instructions, taking into account the working conditions and the work to be performed. Use of the power tool for operations different from those intended could result in a hazardous situation.
• Keep handles and grasping surfaces dry, clean and free from oil and grease. Slippery handles and grasping surfaces do not allow for safe handling and control of the tool in unexpected situations.
  Service
• Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair person using only identical replacement parts. This will ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained. Safety Warnings for Mitre Saws
• Mitre saws are intended to cut wood or wood-like products, they cannot be used with abrasive cut-off wheels for cutting ferrous material such as bars, rods, studs, etc. Abrasive dust causes moving parts such as the lower guard to jam. Sparks from abrasive cutting will burn the lower guard, the kerf insert and other plastic parts.
• Use clamps to support the workpiece whenever possible. If supporting the workpiece by hand, you must always keep your hand at least 100 mm from either side of the saw blade. Do not use this saw to cut pieces that are too small to be securely clamped or held by hand. If your hand is placed too close to the saw blade, there is an increased risk of injury from blade contact.
• The workpiece must be stationary and clamped or held against both the fence and the table. Do not feed the workpiece into the blade or cut “freehand” in any way. Unrestrained or moving workpieces could be thrown at high speeds, causing injury.
• Push the saw through the workpiece. Do not pull the saw through the workpiece. To make a cut, raise the saw head and pull it out over the workpiece without cutting, start the motor, press the saw head down and push the saw through the workpiece. Cutting on the pull stroke is likely to cause the saw blade to climb on top of the workpiece and violently throw the blade assembly towards the operator.
• Never cross your hand over the intended line of cutting either in front or behind the saw blade. Supporting the workpiece “cross handed” i.e. holding the workpiece to the right of the saw blade with your left hand or vice versa is very dangerous.
• Do not reach behind the fence with either hand closer than 100 mm from either side of the saw blade, to remove wood scraps, or for any other reason while the blade is spinning. The proximity of the spinning saw blade to your hand may not be obvious and you may be seriously injured.
• Inspect your workpiece before cutting. If the workpiece is bowed or warped, clamp it with the outside bowed face toward the fence. Always make certain that there is no gap between the workpiece, fence and table along the line of the cut. Bent or warped workpieces can twist or shift and may cause binding on the spinning saw blade while cutting. There should be no nails or foreign objects in the workpiece.
• Do not use the saw until the table is clear of all tools, wood scraps, etc., except for the workpiece. Small debris or loose pieces of wood or other objects that contact the revolving blade can be thrown with high speed.
• Cut only one workpiece at a time. Stacked multiple workpieces cannot be adequately clamped or braced and may bind on the blade or shift during cutting.
• Ensure the mitre saw is mounted or placed on a level, firm work surface before use. A level and firm work surface reduces the risk of the mitre saw becoming unstable.
• Plan your work. Every time you change the bevel or mitre angle setting, make sure the adjustable fence is set correctly to support the workpiece and will not interfere with the blade or the guarding system. Without turning the tool “ON” and with no workpiece on the table, move the saw blade through a complete simulated cut to assure there will be no interference or danger of cutting the fence.
• Provide adequate support such as table extensions, saw horses, etc. for a workpiece that is wider or longer than the table top. Workpieces longer or wider than the mitre saw table can tip if not securely supported. If the cut-off piece or workpiece tips, it can lift the lower guard or be thrown by the spinning blade.
• Do not use another person as a substitute for a table extension or as additional support. Unstable support for the workpiece can cause the blade to bind or the workpiece to shift during the cutting operation pulling you and the helper into the spinning blade.
• The cut-off piece must not be jammed or pressed by any means against the spinning saw blade. If confined, i.e. using length stops, the cut-off piece could get wedged against the blade and thrown violently.
• Always use a clamp or a fixture designed to properly support round material such as rods or tubing. Rods have a tendency to roll while being cut, causing the blade to “bite” and pull the work with your hand into the blade.
• Let the blade reach full speed before contacting the workpiece. This will reduce the risk of the workpiece being thrown.
• If the workpiece or blade becomes jammed, turn the mitre saw off. Wait for all moving parts to stop and disconnect the plug from the power source and/or remove the battery pack. Then work to free the jammed material. Continued sawing with a jammed workpiece could cause loss of control or damage to the mitre saw.
• After finishing the cut, release the switch, hold the saw head down and wait for the blade to stop before removing the cut-off piece. Reaching with your hand near the coasting blade is dangerous.
• Hold the handle firmly when making an incomplete cut or when releasing the switch before the saw head is completely in the down position. The braking action of the saw may cause the saw head to be suddenly pulled downward, causing a risk of injury.
• Keep your work area clean. Material mixtures are particularly hazardous. Light metal dust may catch fire or explode.
• Do not use dull, cracked, bent or damaged saw blades. Unsharpened or improperly set saw blades produce narrow kerf causing excessive friction, blade binding and kickback.
• Do not use saw blades made from high speed steel (HSS). Such saw blades can easily break.
• Always use saw blades with correct size and shape (diamond versus round) of arbour holes. Saw blades that do not match the mounting hardware of the saw will run off-centre, causing loss of control.
• Never remove cuttings, wood chips, etc. from the cutting area while the power tool is running. Always guide the tool arm back to the neutral position first and then switch the power tool off.
• Do not touch the saw blade after working before it has cooled. The saw blade becomes very hot while working.

Products sold in GB only:
Your product is fitted with an BS 1363/A approved electric plug with internal fuse (ASTA approved to BS 1362). If the plug is not suitable for your socket outlets, it should be cut off and an appropriate plug fitted in its place by an authorised customer service agent. The replacement plug should have the same fuse rating as the original plug. The severed plug must be disposed of to avoid a possible shock hazard and should never be inserted into a mains socket elsewhere.

Symbols

The following symbols may be important for the operation of your power tool. Please take note of these symbols and their meaning. Correctly interpreting the symbols will help you to operate the power tool more effectively and safely.

Symbols and their meanings

• Keep hands away from the cutting area while the power tool is running. Contact with the saw blade can lead to injuries.

Noise Information
Noise emission values determined according to EN 62841-3-9. Typically, the A-weighted noise level of the power tool is: Sound pressure level 92 dB(A); sound power level 105 dB(A). Uncertainty K = 3 dB.

Wear hearing protection
The noise emission value given in these instructions has been measured in accordance with a standardised measuring procedure and may be used to compare power tools. It may also be used for a preliminary estimation of noise emissions. The noise emission value given represents the main applications of the power tool. However, if the power tool is used for other applications, with different application tools or is poorly maintained, the noise emission value may differ. This may significantly increase noise emissions over the total working period. To estimate noise emissions accurately, the times when the tool is switched off, or when it is running but not actually being used, should also be taken into account. This may significantly reduce noise emissions over the total working period.

Assembly

Avoid starting the power tool unintentionally. The mains plug must not be connected to the power supply during assembly or when carrying out any kind of work on the power tool.

Practical advice
General sawing instructions

• Always tighten the locking knob (10) and the clamping handle (26) firmly before sawing. Otherwise the saw blade can become wedged in the workpiece.
• For all cuts, it must first be ensured that the saw blade at no time can come in contact with the fence, screw clamps or other machine parts. Remove any mounted auxiliary stops or adjust them accordingly. Protect the saw blade against impact and shock. Do not subject the saw blade to lateral pressure.
• Do not saw warped/bent workpieces. The workpiece must always have a straight edge to face against the fence. The free end of long and heavy workpieces must have something placed underneath it or be supported. Make sure that the retracting blade guard operates properly and that it can move freely. The retracting blade guard must open when the tool arm is guided downward. When the tool arm is guided upward, the retracting blade guard must close again over the saw blade and lock in the uppermost position of the tool arm.

Only saw materials which are permitted within the scope of the intended use.
Position of the operator (see figure L)

• Do not stand in line with the saw blade in front of the power tool. Always stand to the side of the saw blade.
  This protects your body against possible kickback.
• Keep hands, fingers and arms away from the rotating saw blade.
• Do not reach one hand across the other when in front of the tool arm.

Important Installation Notes (Please read these notes before the installation):

Before removing the original equipment oxygen sensor (hereinafter OE Sensor) from your vehicle, make note of the location of the connectors joining the oxygen sensor and vehicle wiring. The vehicle manufacturer has deemed this to be a suitable environment for a connection and it is recommended that the universal connector be installed close to the OE Sensor connection point if possible. Also note the
routing of the OE Sensor to ensure the Bosch Universal Oxygen Sensor is routed the same way.
Do not cut the wiring while removing the OE Sensor from the vehicle, as it is necessary to utilize a portion of this wiring on the Bosch Universal Oxygen Sensor.

Installation Steps:

Remove the OE Sensor from vehicle. This is a sample installation location. Oxygen sensors can be located in a manifold or exhaust pipe.

If there are special clips or grommets attached to the OE Sensor, proceed to Step 3. Otherwise, if the length from the hex/flange face to end of OE Sensor connector housing
is less than 29 1/2″, proceed to Step 4, otherwise, proceed to Step 5.

Cut the OE Sensor harness so as to include special clips or grommets. Lay the Bosch Universal Oxygen Sensor beside the OE Sensor and cut the Bosch Universal Oxygen Sensor wiring to the length of the OE Sensor,
but do not cut to less than 5″ (hex/flange face to end of sensor wire). Proceed to Step 6.

Cut the wiring of OE Sensor 4″ from end of connector as illustrated. Lay the Bosch Universal Oxygen Sensor beside the OE Sensor and cut the Bosch Universal Oxygen
Sensor wiring to the length of the OE Sensor. Proceed to Step 6.

Lay the OE Sensor beside the Bosch Universal Oxygen Sensor and cut the OE Sensor wires to the same length as the Bosch Universal Oxygen Sensor length. Cut the wire
tie from the end of the Bosch Universal Oxygen Sensor wiring. Proceed to Step 6.

Warning – Danger of suffocation!
Packaging material is dangerous to children. Never allow children to play with packaging material.
Warning – Danger of death! Risk of poisoning from flue gases that are drawn back in.
Always ensure adequate fresh air in the room if the appliance is being operated in the exhaust air mode at the same time as room independent heat-producing appliance is being operated.

Room air-dependent heat-producing appliances (e.g. gas, oil, wood or cooperated heaters, continuous flow heaters or water heaters) obtain combustion air from the room in which they are installed and discharge the exhaust gases into the open air through an exhaust gas system (e.g. a chimney). In combination with an activated vapor extractor hood,  room air is extracted from the kitchen and neighboring rooms – a partial vacuum is produced if not enough fresh air is supplied. Toxic gases from the chimney or the extraction shaft are sucked back into the living space.

• Adequate incoming air must therefore always be ensured.
• An incoming/exhaust air wall box alone will not ensure compliance with the limit.

Safe operation is possible only when the partial vacuum in the place where the heat-producing appliance is installed does not exceed  4 Pa (0.04 bar). This can be achieved when the air needed for combustion is able to enter through openings that cannot be sealed, for example in doors, windows, incoming/exhaust air wall boxes, or by other technical means.

In any case, consult your responsible Master Chimney Sweep. He is able to assess the house’s entire ventilation setup and will suggest suitable ventilation measures to you.
Unrestricted operation is possible if the vapor the extractor hood is operated exclusively in the circulating-air mode.

Warning – Risk of fire!

• Grease deposits in the grease filter may catch fire. Clean the grease filter at least once a month.  Never operate the appliance without the grease filter.
• Grease deposits in the grease filter may catch fire. Never work with naked flames close to the appliance (e.g. flambéing). Do not install the appliance near a heat-producing appliance for solid fuel (e.g. wood or coal) unless a closed, nonremovable cover is available. There must be no flying sparks.
• Hot oil and fat can ignite very quickly. Never leave hot fat or oil unattended. Never use water to put out burning oil or fat. Switch off the hotplate. Extinguish flames carefully using a lid, fire blanket or something similar.
• When gas burners are in operation without any cookware placed on them, they can build up a lot of heat. A ventilation appliance installed above the cooker may become damaged or catch fire. Only operate the gas burners with cookware on them.
• Operating multiple gas hotplates at the same time generates a great deal of heat. The ventilation appliance may become damaged or catch fire. The ventilation the appliance  must only be combined with gas hotplates that do not exceed the following values:
  – Total maximum output: 9.75 kW
  – Maximum output for a single burner:
  4 kW
  – Total maximum output of rear hobs:
  5.25 kW

Your new appliance is particularly energy-efficient. Here you can find tips on how to save even more energy when using the appliance, and how to dispose of your appliance properly.

Saving energy

• During cooking, ensure that there is a sufficient supply of air to enable the extractor hood to work efficiently and with a low level of operating noise.
• Adjust the fan speed to the amount of steam produced during cooking. Only use intensive mode when required. The lower the fan speed, the less energy is consumed.
• If cooking produces large amounts of steam, select a higher fan speed in good time. If the cooking steam has already spread around the kitchen, the extractor hood will need to be operated for longer.
• Switch off the extractor hood if you no longer require it.
• Switch off the lighting if you no longer require it.
• Clean and (if required) replace the filter at regular intervals in order to increase the effectiveness of the ventilation system and to prevent the risk of fire.
• Put the lid on to reduce cooking steam and condensation.

Working Advice

General Information
The reception lens 11 and the laser beam outlet 12 must not be covered when taking a measurement.
The measuring tool must not be moved while taking measurements. Therefore, place the measuring tool, as far as this is possible, against or on a firm stop or supporting surface.

Influence Effects on the Measuring Range
The measuring range depends on the lighting conditions and the reflective properties of the target surface. For better visibility of the laser beam in extraneous light, use the laser viewing glasses 14 (accessories) and the laser target plate 13 (accessories) or shade the target area.
Influence Effects on the Measuring Result
Due to physical effects, faulty measurements cannot be excluded when measuring on different surfaces. Included here are:

• Transparent surfaces (e.g., glass, water),
• Reflecting surfaces (e.g., polished metal, glass),
• Porous surfaces (e.g. insulation materials),
• Structured surfaces (e.g., roughcast, natural stone).

If required, use the laser target plate 13 (accessory) on these surfaces. Furthermore, faulty measurements are also possible when sighting inclined target surfaces.

Also, air layers with varying temperatures or indirectly received reflections can affect the measured value.

Accuracy Check of the Distance Measurement
The accuracy of the measuring tool can be checked as follows:

• Select a permanently unchangeable measuring section with a length of approx. 3 to 10 meters; its length must be precisely known (e.g. the width of a room or a door opening). The measurement should be carried out under favorable conditions, meaning, the measuring distance must be indoors and the target surface for the measurement must be smooth and reflect well.
• Measure the distance 10 times in succession.

The deviation of the individual measurements from the average value must not exceed ±4 mm over the entire measuring section in favorable conditions. Record the measurements in order to be able to compare the accuracy at a later date.

Troubleshooting – Causes and Corrective Measures

The measuring tool monitors the proper function for each measurement. When a defect is detected, all indicators on the display flash. In this case, or when the corrective measures listed above cannot correct the error, have your dealer forward the measuring tool to an authorized Bosch after-sales service.

In this case, or when the corrective measures listed above cannot correct the error, have your dealer forward the measuring tool to an authorised Bosch after-sales service.

Checking the Measuring Tool
The accuracy of the measuring tool can be checked as follows:– Select a permanently unchangeable measuring section with a length of approx. 3 to 10 metres; its length must be precisely known (e.g. the width of a room or a door opening). The measurement should be carried out under favourable conditions, meaning, the measuring distance must be indoors and the target surface for the measurement must be smooth and reflect well. Measure the distance 10 times after another. Under favourable conditions, the deviation of the individual measurements from the mean value must not exceed ±3.5 mm (max.) over the complete measuring distance. Log the measurements, so that you can compare their accuracy at a later point of time.

Maintenance and Service

Maintenance and Cleaning
Keep the measuring tool clean at all times. Do not immerse the measuring tool in water or other fluids. Wipe off debris using a moist and soft cloth. Do not use any cleaning agents or solvents. Maintain the reception lens 8 in particular, with the same care as required for eye glasses or the lens of a camera. If the measuring tool should fail despite the care taken in manufacturing and testing procedures, repair should be carried out by an authorised af-ter-sales service centre for Bosch power tools. Do not open the measuring tool yourself. For repairs, send in the measuring tool in.

Safety Instructions

All instructions must be read and observed. The safeguards integrated into the measuring tool may be compromised if the measuring tool is not used in accordance with these instructions. STORE THESE INSTRUCTIONS IN A SAFE PLACE.

• Have the measuring tool serviced only by a qualified specialist using only original replacement parts? This will ensure that the safety of the measuring tool is maintained.
• Do not use the measuring tool in explosive atmospheres which contain flammable liquids, gases or dust. Sparks may be produced inside the measuring tool, which can ignite dust or fumes.
• The measuring tool may not be 100 % accurate for technological reasons. To eliminate hazards, familiarise yourself with further sources of information, such as building plans and photographs taken during construction, etc. before carrying out any drilling, sawing, or routing work on walls, ceilings, or floors. The accuracy of the measuring tool may be affected by environmental influences, such as the level of humidity or there being other electronic devices nearby. The structure and condition of the walls (e.g. damp, building materials containing metal, electrically conductive wallpaper, insulating materials, tiles) and the number, type, size, and position of the objects may distort the measuring results.
• Make sure that you are properly earthed when taking measurements. If you are not properly earthed (e.g. by wearing insulating footwear or by standing on a ladder), it will not be possible to locate live cables.
• If there are gas pipes in the building, check to ensure that none of them have been damaged after completing any work on walls, ceilings or floors.
• Live wires can be detected more easily when power consumers (e.g. lamps, appliances) are connected to the wire being sought and switched on. Switch off power consumers and make sure that live cables are de-energized before drilling, sawing or milling into walls, ceilings or floors. After performing any kind of work, check to ensure that objects placed on the base material are not live.
• When attaching objects to dry walls, and in particular when attaching them to the substructure, check to ensure that both the wall and the fastening materials have a sufficient load-bearing capacity.

Product Description and Specifications

Please observe the illustrations at the beginning of this operating manual.

B) Lower detection depth with non-live wires
C) Only non-conductive deposits occur, whereby occasional temporary conductivity caused by condensation is expected.
The serial number (7) on the type plate is used to clearly identify your measuring tool.

• The accuracy and detection depth of the measuring result may be negatively affected if the condition of the substrate is unfavorable.

Assembly

Inserting/changing the batteries
It is recommended that you use alkaline manganese batteries to operate the measuring tool.
To open the battery compartment cover (8), press the locking mechanism (9) and lift open the battery compartment cover. Insert the batteries.
When inserting the batteries, ensure that the polarity is correct according to the illustration on the inside of the battery compartment.
Always replace all the batteries at the same time. Only use batteries from the same manufacturer and which have the same capacity.

• Take the batteries out of the measuring tool when you are not using it for a prolonged period of time. The batteries can corrode and self-discharge during prolonged storage in the measuring tool.

Operation

• Protect the measuring tool from moisture and direct sunlight.
• Do not expose the measuring tool to any extreme temperatures or variations in temperature. In case of large variations in temperature, leave the measuring tool to adjust to the ambient temperature before switching it on. The precision of the measuring tool may be compromised if exposed to extreme temperatures or fluctuations in temperature.
• Avoid hard knocks to the measuring tool or dropping it. After severe external influences and in the event of abnormalities in the functionality, you should have the measuring tool checked by an authorized Bosch after-sales service agent.
• Certain ambient conditions fundamentally impair the measuring results. These include, e.g. the proximity of devices that generate strong electric, magnetic or electromagnetic fields, moisture, metal building materials, foil-laminated insulation materials, or conductive wallpaper or tiles. Therefore, also refer to other information sources (e.g. construction plans) before drilling, sawing, or routing into walls, ceilings, or floors.
• Hold the measuring tool by the intended gripping surface (1) only, so as not to influence the measurement.
• Do not attach any stickers or labels to the sensor area (6) on the rear of the measuring tool. Metal labels in particular will affect measuring results.
• Do not wear gloves when taking measurements and make sure that you are properly earthed. If you are not properly earthed, the identification of live wires may be impaired.
  When taking measurements, avoid devices that emit strong electric, magnetic or electromagnetic fields. If possible, deactivate all tools whose radiation could interfere with the measurement and switch off the corresponding functions or tools.
• Starting Operation

Switching on/off

• Before switching on the measuring tool, ensure that the sensor area (6) is dry. If necessary, use a cloth to dry the measuring tool.
• If the measuring tool has been exposed to a significant change in temperature, leave it to adjust to the ambient temperature before switching it on.

To switch on the measuring tool, push the on/off switch (2) down.
The measuring tool carries out a short self-check and calibrates itself automatically. Once the indicator light (3) turns green, the measuring tool is ready to use.
To switch off the measuring tool, push the on/off switch (2) up.
If no measurement takes place for approx. 10 minutes, the measuring tool automatically switches off to save the batteries.
Note: When the measuring tool has switched off automatically, the on/off switch (2) will still be in the “on” position. To switch the measuring tool on again, first, switch it off and then switch it on again.

How it Works

The measuring tool checks the substrate of the sensor area (6) up to the maximum detection depth.
Metal objects and live cables are automatically searched for during each measurement.

Always move the measuring tool in a straight line in a lateral direction over the substrate, applying light pressure, without lifting it off or changing the pressure. Hold the measuring tool by the gripping surface (1) with an even grip and do not touch the sensor area (6) while taking measurements.

Objects are only displayed roughly the first time you move over them. Move the measuring tool several times over the same surface in order to locate the object precisely.
The detection depth of the measurement depends on the material and size of the objects, as well as the material and condition of the substrate, and may be less than the maximum detection depth.

• Before drilling, sawing or routing into walls, refer to other sources of information to ensure that you eliminate hazards. Since the measuring results can be influenced by ambient conditions or the nature of the wall, there may be a hazard even though no audio signal is emitted and the indicator light (3) lights up green.

Searching for Metal Objects
When approaching a metal object, the indicator light (3) first lights up yellow, then changes to red and an audio signal is emitted. The pitch of the audio signal increases as the metal object is approached. If the metal object is below the center of the sensor range (6), the pitch will be at its highest.

• Even when the indicator light is yellow, there may be a metal object below the sensor range. Small or deep-lying metal objects are near the sensor, or the nature of the wall affects the measuring result.

Searching for Live Cables

The measuring tool displays single-phase live cables (110−240 V, 50−60 Hz). Other cables (multi-phase electricity cables, DC, higher/lower frequency or voltage), as well as non-live cables, cannot be reliably detected, but they may be displayed as metal objects. Preparing to take measurements and features of the measuring process:
– The cable must be live. You should therefore connect electricity consumers (e.g. lights, appliances) to the electricity cable you are trying to find. Switch on the electricity consumers to ensure that the electricity cable is live.
– The 50–60 Hz signal from the electric cable must be able to reach the measuring tool. If the cable is in damp walls (e.g. due to high humidity), behind metallic foils (e.g. from thermal insulation) or in an empty metal pipe, the signal will not reach the measuring tool and you will not be able to find the cable.
If the indicator light (3) lights up yellow or red over a larger range, then the material is electrically shielded and the search for living ables is not reliable.
–The measuring tool must be sufficiently earthed. To do this, hold it firmly (without gloves) by the gripping surface (1). Make sure that you are in good contact with the floor. Insulating shoes, ladders or platforms may compromise your contact with the floor. The floor must also be earthed in order for live cables to be detected.
– The 50–60 Hz signal from the electric cable must be stronger along the cable than in its immediate vicinity. If the wall is very dry or poorly earthed, the signal will be the same strength throughout the wall.
This will result in the measuring tool indicating that it has found a signal over a large area, but it will not be able to detect the exact location of the cable. In this instance, it may be helpful to place your free hand on the wall 20−30 cm from the measuring tool in order to conduct the signal away from the wall.
If a live cable is found, the indicator light (3) flashes red and a pulsating audio signal will sound at a fast rate.

Working Advice

Marking objects

If required, detected objects can be marked. Perform a measurement as usual.
Once you have found the boundaries or the center of an object, mark the sought location at the top marking aid (5) and the side marking aid (4). Connect the points with a vertical and horizontal line. The boundary or the center of the object is located where the lines intersect.
Recalibration
Manually recalibrate the measuring tool if the indicator light (3) continues to light up yellow or red even though there is no metal near the measuring tool.
– Switch on the measuring tool using the on/off switch (2).
– Remove a battery from the measuring tool whilst it is switched on.
– Switch off the measuring tool using the on/off switch (2) after the battery has been removed.
– Reinsert the battery into the measuring tool. Ensure that the polarity is correct.
– Remove all objects near the measuring tool (including watches or metal rings) and hold the measuring tool in the air.
– Switch the measuring tool on and off again within 3 s using the on/off switch (2). The indicator light (3) will flash red slowly for the 3 s to indicate readiness for calibration.
– Switch the measuring tool back on within 0.5 s. The calibration will start and take roughly 6 s. During calibration, the indicator light (3) flashes green at a fast rate. Once the indicator light lights up green continuously, the calibration is complete and the measuring tool is ready to use.

Note: If the sequence of switching off and switching on again is not observed, calibration will not take place. The indicator light (3) continues to light up yellow or red even though there is no metal nearby. In this case, repeat the calibration in the exact same way.

Technical data

Installation instructions

The ES2.5 and ES4 water heaters are designed to be installed under the sink.

Mounting the heater

Wall mounting

NOTICE:

The ES2.5 and ES4 water heaters come equipped with a power cord.

• Ensure the circuit breaker supplying the electrical outlet for the water heater is properly sized to handle the load of both the water heater and another appliance (e.g. dishwasher).
  See Table 2 for water heater electrical specifications.
• Fasten the supplied mounting bracket to the wall.

NOTICE:

Material damages!

• Use screws that are suitable for the wall material and the weight of the heater.
• Hang the water heater on the bracket.
• Tug down wards on the heater to ensure that both “fingers” of the bracket are seated in the mounting slots.

Floor mounting

• Heater can sit on floor.

Pipe connections

• Connect the cold water inlet pipe to the inlet tapping (marked with a blue ring).
• Ensure a isolation valve is installed on the cold water supply to the water heater.
• Connect the hot water outlet pipe to the outlet tapping (marked with a red ring).

The model ES8 can be piped horizontally from the side or vertically from the top.

Horizontal installation – ES8 Model Only

If you wish to install the unit horizontally, with the piping connections on the right side:

• Install supplied brass plug into tap between hot and cold water connections.
• The supplied Temperature and Pressure Relief Valve will need to be installed on top. See location of T&P relief valve.

Vertical installation

If you wish to install the unit vertically, with the piping connections on top:

• Install supplied brass plug into tap on side of water heater.
• The supplied Temperature and Pressure Relief Valve will need to be installed on top. See location of T&P relief valve

CAUTION:

To reduce the risk of excessive pressures and temperatures in this water heater:

• Install the supplied temperature and pressure protective equipment required by local codes but not less than a combination temperature and pressure relief valve certified by a nationally recognized testing laboratory that maintains periodic inspection of production of listed equipment or materials, as meeting the requirements for Relief Valves and Automatic Gas Shut-off Devices for Hot Water Supply Systems, ANSIZ21.22.

The supplied temperature and pressure relief valve is marked with a maximum set pressure (150 psi) that does not exceed the marked maximum working pressure of the water heater.

• Install the valve in the opening provided and marked for this purpose in the water heater.
• Orient it or provide tubing so that any discharge from the valve will exit within 6 inches above, or at any distance below, the structural floor, and cannot contact any live electrical part. The discharge opening must not be blocked or reduced in size under any circumstances.

National Plumbing codes may require a drain pan for the water heater installation. Failure to install one is the sole responsibility of owner and/ or installer. Reference UPC (Uniform Plumbing Code), or IPC (International Plumbing Code).

Closed system thermal expansion

Periodic discharge of the temperature and pressure relief valve or failure of the element gasket may be due to thermal expansion in a closed water supply system. The water utility supply meter may contain a check valve, back flow preventer or water pressure reducing valve which will create a closed water system.
During the heating cycle of the water heater, the water expands causing pressure inside the water heater to increase. The temperature and pressure relief valve may discharge hot water under these conditions which results in a loss of energy and a build-up of lime on the relief valve seat.
To prevent this from happening, there are two recommendations:

Install a diaphragm-type expansion tank that is suitable for potable water on the cold water supply line. A minimum 0.5 gallon expansion tank should be used.
Contact the local water supplier or plumbing inspector for information on how to control this situation. Do not plug the temperature and pressure relief valve.

Electrical connections

The ES8 model must be hard wired. As per the National Electric Code the ES8 needs to be wired with 12 GA. wire to a 20 amp branch circuit.

• Unscrew the junction box cover and remove it.
• Insert 12 AWG through conduit into junction box and secure with conduit strain relief (not supplied).
• Connect the wires and screw on the cover of the junction box.
• Make appropriate wiring connections to the water heater per the National Electric Code.

The unit must be grounded with supplied grounding cable inside junction box.

• Secure junction box cover once wiring connections have been made

When the ES8 is not within sight of the electrical circuit breakers, a circuit breaker lockout or additional local means of disconnection for all non grounded conductors must be provided that is within sight of the appliance. [REF NEC 422.31].

Use

Starting and testing

CAUTION:

DO NOT supply power to water heater until filled with water.

To fill the heater:

• Open supply valve for water heater to fill with water.
• Open hot water tap(s) supplied by the water heater to purge air out of the system. Once air is purged, close hot water tap.
• Visually check for any leaks.

Turning heater on

For models which are not fitted with a switch:

• Supply power to the water heater by plugging in the power cord (models ES2.5, ES4) or turning on the circuit breaker (model ES8). If the light does not come on, turn the control knob in a clockwise direction.
  The light will come on until water temperature has reached the thermostat temperature setting. The light will come back on any time the water temperature inside the tank drops below the thermostat setting.

Temperature setting

The temperature of the hot water is adjusted by rotating the knob M located on the front cover. Temperature range is 65 -145 °F.

• Turn the knob clockwise to increase temperature.
• Turn the knob counter-clockwise to decrease temperature.
  

Maintenance

CAUTION:

Do not attempt to repair this water heater yourself. Call a service person for assistance. Always turn off the power supply to the heater prior to servicing or draining the heater.

Periodic maintenance

For most of these operations, the water will have to be drained from the heater. For all of these operations the cord should be disconnected (ES2.5 and ES4 only) and the front cover removed.

Removing the cover

• Pry off the round cover plate [V] from its right hand edge [W] with a small flat-head screwdriver.
•  Remove the Phillips screw revealed beneath the round cover plate.
• The cover [C] can now be removed by pulling out its left hand edge. When reassembling, work in the opposite way being careful to insert the tongue of the cover into the slot.

Draining the heater

If the heater has been installed with flexible hoses:

• Shut off the power supply.
• Turn the heater upside down over a sink to drain the water out of it.

-or

If the heater has been installed with rigid piping:

• Siphon the water out through any (lower) service valve on the (inlet side).
• Keep a hot water faucet open while siphoning the water out.

Inspecting the anode rod

The purpose of the anode rod is to protect the tank against corrosion. It is critical that the anode rod be inspected once a year to determine whether it requires replacement. To access the anode rod, the heating element must be removed (see Section 5.4 Removing the heating element). Upon inspection, the anode rod surface should appear smooth. If the rod surface appears pitted, bumpy, rusty, or if the rod is missing completely, then it must be replaced.
To access the anode rod:

• Remove the heating element (see Section 5.4 Removing the heating element).

Original anode rod sizes

• ES2.5, ES4: length 6½”, diameter 5/8″
• ES8:length 8¼”, diameter 5/8″

Certain installations may require more frequent replacement of the anode rod:

• recirculation applications;
• poor water quality;
• galvanic/electrolytic corrosion
• high flow applications

In the event of poor water quality, Bosch recommends consulting a local water treatment professional for water treatment options. Always ensure the water heater is grounded.
Models ES2.5 and ES4 must be connected only to a properly grounded outlet. Damage resulting from poor water quality or failure to replace the anode rod is not covered under the manufacturer’s warranty. For additional questions, please call Bosch Technical Service.

Removing the heating element

• Turn off power supply and drain the heater (see previous section).
• Remove the front cover plate, disconnect terminals X, Y andT.
• Unscrew the 4 heating element retaining nuts F.
• Remove thermostat temperature sensor from well [B] located on the element assembly.
• Remove the element G.
  
  

Descaling the heating element

Scale deposits can affect the heating capability of the element.
Heavy scale can even cause damage to the element. The element can be descaled either chemically or manually:

• Soak the element in white vinegar or other descalingsolution.
• Once descaled, rinse well with fresh water, to which you should add some baking soda,

-or

• Once the element has dried, use a soft brush (non metallic to prevent damaging the stainless steel sheath) on element.
• Brush the dried mineral off.
• Reinstall the element with gasket and make the wire connections.
  

NOTICE

Make sure the tank has been refilled with water before restoring power.

Troubleshooting

Resetting High Limit Switch

Occasionally, the high temperature limit shut off device may trip the reset. This occurs when water temperature exceeds 190 °F. The shut off device may also trigger from a power outage or electrical storm.

To reach the thermostat:

• Disconnect power cord (or shut off circuit breaker – model ES8) and remove the front cover.
• Firmly press reset button [B] with the tip of a ball point pen or similar object.
  

A click indicates the reset was tripped.

• Reconnect power.
  IMPORTANT: Check the operation of the thermostat:
• Turn temperature dial from high to low.
  If the red light does not go off on low setting:
• Turn off power supply and call a service person to replace the thermostat.
  If the red light does go off the thermostat is working well:
• Place dial setting to desired setting.

A lower setting is more economical and reduces the risk of scalding.

• Re place cover plate.

CAUTION:

Call a technician if the high limit needs to be reset frequently.
