Quick Tips for Your Bosch Dishwasher
This guide provides essential tips to help you get the best performance from your Bosch 24-BOS-1844 dishwasher.
Loading and Rack Adjustment

- 3rd Rack: Use the 3rd rack for silverware, large utensils, or other hard-to-place items.
- Rackmatic System: The middle rack can be adjusted to 9 different positions. Pull out the middle rack, press the side levers, and adjust each side up or down to your desired height.
- Loading Dishes: Face dishes inward. Use angled tines to assist with loading and fold-down flip tines to accommodate bulkier items like large pots.
Operation and Performance
- Starting: Press the On/Off button, select your desired cycle and option, then press Start. Ensure nothing is blocking the spray arms before starting.
- Water Temperature: Set your water heater to 49°C to 52°C (120°F to 125°F). Temperatures outside this range may prevent soap from activating properly.
- Drying: Bosch dishwashers feature options like AutoAir, CrystalDry, or PureDry. Condensation on tub walls is normal with PureDry as it whisks moisture away.
- Detergent: For best results, Bosch recommends using Finish detergent tabs and Jet-Dry Rinse Aid.
Maintenance
- Filter Cleaning: Clean the dishwasher filter every 2 months with normal use. Turn the knob, lift the filter out, and rinse it with warm water and dishwashing soap.
- Surface Cleaning: Clean surfaces with a damp cloth and mild soap. Do not use abrasives or bleach-based cleaners.
