Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup
The Bosch SMS2HVI67G is a freestanding dishwasher designed for straightforward installation. Before installation, ensure you have:
- A dedicated cold water supply with a stopcock.
- A suitable waste water connection point.
- An accessible electrical socket (standard UK three-pin plug).
Dimensions: The unit measures 845mm high, 600mm wide, and 600mm deep. Ensure your chosen space has sufficient clearance for these dimensions, including enough room for the door to open fully and for water/drainage hoses and electrical connections at the rear. It is recommended to have a qualified professional install the dishwasher to ensure correct connections and leveling.
Compatibility
This dishwasher is compatible with standard kitchen plumbing and electrical supplies. Its freestanding design offers flexibility in placement within your kitchen layout.
Care
Regular maintenance ensures optimal performance and longevity of your dishwasher:
- Clean the Filters: Regularly check and clean the filters at the bottom of the dishwasher. Remove any food debris to prevent blockages and ensure effective water circulation. This should be done weekly or bi-weekly depending on usage.
- Clean Spray Arms: Periodically inspect the spray arm nozzles for any blockages from food particles. Use a thin wire to clear them if necessary.
- Use Rinse Aid: Refill the rinse aid dispenser regularly. Rinse aid helps with drying and prevents water spots, enhancing the effectiveness of the ExtraDry function.
- Use Dishwasher Salt: If you live in an area with hard water, ensure the salt reservoir is filled. Dishwasher salt helps to soften the water, preventing limescale buildup and improving wash results.
- Wipe Down Interior/Exterior: Use a damp cloth to wipe down the interior and exterior surfaces. For stubborn stains or odors, you can run a dishwasher cleaning cycle with a specialized cleaner.
- Check Door Seal: Wipe the door seal regularly to prevent food residue and mold buildup.
