The Bosch dishwasher is a household machine that offers seven wash settings, and can be customized according to the type of dishes loaded for optimal cleaning. In case the wrong wash cycle is accidentally selected, it can be stopped, which will force the dishwasher to empty the water from the current cycle and start afresh. Once cancelled, a new cycle can be set to commence.
Step 1
Press and hold the “Start” button on the front of the dishwasher for three seconds to stop the current cycle.
Step 2
Wait at least one minute for the “Clean” light to illuminate on the dishwasher’s display. The “Clean” light turns solid blue when all the water has been drained out of the dishwasher.
Step 3
Press “On/Off” to finalize the cancellation and pull the dishwasher’s door handle towards you to open the door and access the dishes.
Step 4
After loading or unloading any additional dishes, close the dishwasher and select the new wash cycle from the control panel.
Step 5
Press “Start” to initiate the new wash cycle and wait for the dishwasher to come to a complete stop before opening the door.
