Bosch SGS2ITW08G Freestanding Dishwasher Explanation

[@Country_Car]

In a few minutes you explain that which the hopeless instruction manual fails to do in many pages of meaningless woffle. Brilliant presentation and content.

[@lords-electrical]

Thank you very much for this feedback, it's always appreciated

[@mizfiesta]

Thanks for this. My dishwasher just arrived today and watching this is far better than reading instructions. As a newbie to dishwashers, I just need to find out the best placement of items with the dishwasher now :-)

[@lords-electrical]

Great to hear this was helpful for you. Thanks for the feedback

[@doloreslee4616]

👏🏾 Excellent video! Really well presented, great product knowledge with no waffle. This gentleman knows his stuff.

[@MarjeryGibbons]

Thank you that was so useful. I've just bought the Smart one - only reason I can think to use it Smart is if you have loaded it, all ready to go and forgot to press the on switch and now you are in bed, can't be bothered to get up so use your mobile to switch it on. So I don't think anyone is missing out using the SGS model! One tip - they gave me a replacement machine because there was a problem with the water and it wouldn't work; however I found elsewhere it was a drainage problem - not evident that my sink was not functioning as it should but I put soda crystals down the plughole followed by three buckets of water swooshed down and lo and behold no problems with my new dishwasher.

[@susanmason8939]

This explanation of how to use the washer has saved me so much time. Thank you

[@TrishDempsey-y3e]

So useful and informative - thank you so much. Had my Bosch Dishwasher delivered today and was so frustrated with the paper information provided. Your excellent review and guide on the machine has proved so beneficial to me. Thank you so much for producing and being so articulate and clear. In fact WELL DONE! One satisfied subscriber!❤

[@lords-electrical]

That's great to hear the video was helpful for you, thanks for the feedback 😊

[@ArchanaSingh-vc4hh]

Thanks for informing about difference between SMS2ITW08G and SGS2ITW08G. Was beating my head around why would a later model have the connectivity feature removed. Very helpful!

[@lords-electrical]

It was a component availability issue. The SMS models used to be around, then finished and SGS models introduced, then the SMS have come back on board as the availability of the home connect components are better now.

[@SheilaBuckle-v9i]

So helpful. Now I know how to turn my new dishwasher on!!

[@19769851]

Great video. Thankyou. So much easier too understand than the booklet.

[@anntaylor4247]

Very informative; I really appreciate you pointing out the negatives because so many appliances are sold on the positives but you soon find out that perhaps the appliance isn't the most suitable one. Expensive mistake!

[@SanSeriffe]

Really helpful video. We've just had this model installed in place of our old John Lewis/LEG model, and we were flummoxed, it's so different. We were even having problems opening the door. We quite agree with you about it being a nuisance not having a time remaining indicator, especially since this machine takes so much longer than our old one. I wish I'd seen this video before we bought it, because we'd probably have thought twice. Only criticism is, the video is so tucked away in KZbin - enter "Bosch Dishwashers" and you don't get anything useful. We agree with others that the Bosch manual is pretty well useless, and makes things seem even more complicated than they are.

[@carolew55]

Thanks for the video very helpful with our new machine. I have a question about setting the programme, we normally use the express programme which suits our needs, but how do you cancel if you accidentally picked intense setting rather than the express. Have tried switching off to change but it comes back on on intense setting.

[@fjfb1001]

Thank you - your explanation and demonstration has been a godsend!

[@jaclynranger4968]

Thanks for that. Just had mine delivered today. All day I've been trying to set the water softener. Without success?? Just cannot do it? Please show. 🙏

[@zedkhalifa2455]

Very well explained. Thankyou

[@lisaaggenbag1474]

Thank you for the video. When you run the machine cleaning program, do you have to put machine cleaning solution in, or just run it with the water?

[@lords-electrical]

There are dedicated dishwasher cleaners you can get which will help to clean the inside of the dishwasher.

[@freya7pc]

Bought this model - it's brill. On the 65 min wash (+ extra dry time) I don't need a timer. In and out in about an hour - what could be simpler? The wash/rinse/dry indicator is more than adequate for showing the approximate time.

[@LilianMacKenzie-o2d]

Hello, I've just received this Bosch dishwasher today, it seems great and has good reviews. I'm not sure how I know that the cycle has finished though. It's showing up red on the eco cycle that I chose, and red under the drying sign. Will these lights go out when it's finished the wash? I've been waiting to open it, but I'm not sure if it's already ended the wash, and stays like this. Thanks.

[@AMusiqa]

Thank you so much amazing video I learned a lot ❤

[@neilhenthorn1212]

Very helpful and informative video, thank you

[@amandafuller8800]

Hi, thanks for your informative video, I am about to buy one, I just want to check as with other dishwashers I've had is it easy to take the top off so it will fit under my counter in my kitchen? Thanks

[@lords-electrical]

The lid can come off to reduce the height of the dishwasher, but we don't normally recommend doing this.

[@JulianWheeler-hs8ee]

We bought a SGS21TW08G. We've just tried to run the first use/wash - the ECO50 light comes on but the button doesn't allow us to move forward to the other programmes.available. So the machine is chugging away for the next 4 hours. I like the simplicity of your demo. Hopefully there is a simple solution. I'd be grateful for any help you can offer or suggest. Thank you.

[@lords-electrical]

Once you start the dishwasher, you won't normally be able to cancel the program unless you press and hold the On and Off button for 4 seconds. Hope this helps you 🙂

[@tommym5961]

Great walkthrough video! Just after buyimg one of these today, did not realise base imterior was plastic...do you know if i can use a hot water feed to save energy?

[@lords-electrical]

No you can't unfortunately use a hot water feed, you can only use a cold water fill.

[@RicoElectrico]

Power consumption seems a little bit high compared to a 10yo Bosch, does it have a heat exchanger?

[@SC-vi4xi]

Great video, many thanks. Is it possible to by what I would call a Knife rack to go in the top basket, clips on the right hand side and we put all our sharp knives on it, but this model doesn’t have one, what is it called and part number? Thanks

[@anniesaunders53]

Could you say something about the water consumption of the half load, please?

[@emtabby]

We have this dishwasher. Can you tel me why it’s flashing on eco and won’t let me select another option and also won’t start cry😢

[@lords-electrical]

Sounds like the program needs resetting or have you interrupted the program after it started? Try to press the On/Off button and hold down for 4 seconds. Hopefully this should reset it for you then you can start again.

[@zarmusic8155]

Mine is stuck. Can't do anything

[@zarmusic8155]

Smu2hvw70s. It blinked 30. Min first

[@zarmusic8155]

Now it ain't blinking. I managed to reset. But can't push anything with response. I held in10 sec every button inlc combos

[@ahlamhappyiraq5926]

Hi , thank you for the useful video, I would like to ask , why there’s some water under the dishwasher while it was working?

[@lords-electrical]

This doesn't sound normal as there shouldn't be any water under the dishwasher while It is in operation

[@clairehoare8764]

I got this model yesterday it has the flashing Wi-Fi signal can I turn that off if it hasn’t got Wi-Fi

[@Cheezwizzz]

Congrats on 24k 🥂

Thanks very much 👍

[@annawood9397]

I live in the area with hard water. How do you set a program for hot water on this dishwasher?

[@terrieplayford532]

I bought a series 2 dishwasher but can't find no CL does it have one as my door can't close now nor open

[@SiemensPowerHour700]

On my hotpoint dishwasher there’s auto programs please can you tell me what it means when it says it is auto? Does it vary the temp , time and spray pressure?

[@lords-electrical]

What Auto programs will normally do is to send a certain amount of water through at the start of the program, and depending how dirty the water, it will fluctuate the temperature of the wash and duration as well.

[@SiemensPowerHour700]

@@lords-electrical thanks for the info. Nice to know my hotpoint has 3 auto setting cycle.

[@FilizGokturk-e7x]

Not sure how set the water sorting system. Please explain how Thanks

[@Ross-hr9oj]

really helpful!

[@jiojoe8829]

Honesty beside the turbidity sensor this model is very modest.Reminds me of the cheap models from a decade ago. And about the detergent,you won't really notice a great performance difference between _big brand_ vs _store brand._ Didn't really get the "quality salt" part lol

[@svetlanasandler4484]

Thank you!

[@janethumphries]

hi when i put the salt in do i fill it with water first

[@lords-electrical]

Yes normally put some water in the container first

[@janethumphries]

@@lords-electrical thank you for your quick reply

[@Medea007]

Do you know if we can stop auto power off?

[@MadWayToday]

thanks for this video !!!

[@MarjeryGibbons]

Turned out the problem with my dishwasher was that my water softener was leaking resin into the water system and affecting the pressure of water to the dishwasher. Sadly a new water softener is now being bought since my existing one is too old to repair. I've disconnected the existing water softener and now the dishwasher works with no problems!

How I can set the rapid or quick wash on bosch series 2 dishwasher

On this model it would be the Express 65 that would be the quick wash

hi i have just had one of these today and not had a dishwasher before do you put the finish cleaner in when u use the clean button

[@lords-electrical]

Put rinse aid in before you do your first wash

@@lords-electrical thank you for your quick reply

[@KiritPatel-v8h]

How do you start it and end it.

[@littlemissfavored]

Thank you, very helpful and well explained

[@janethumphries]

sorry but i am really struggling to find out how to change settings for salt and rinse aid the book is a much use as a chocolate fire guard

[@lords-electrical]

Just had a look and it looks like the settings are on page 22 of the instructions. Hope this helps.

[@brianbaggott12]

Excellent tutorial. Only thing we find difficult is how tp set the water Hardness settings

[@1961geegee]

I have cleaned and rinsed a number of times also taking the items apart. But still have bad smelling dishes

[@lords-electrical]

If you have cleaned and maintained the dishwasher then the only thing i can think of is to try leaving the door ajar a little when the cycle has finished. If the door is shut straight after the program has finished then it can get a little musty smell due to the warm and wet nature of a dishwasher inside.

[@1961geegee]

@@lords-electrical thinking about getting rid still under warranty. Warranty worse machine I ever had

[@ammarahawan6968]

I have same but don’t have time duration of every cycle

[@ahlamhappyiraq5926]

Could you show how to install it please?

[@TIM123451ERR]

really good review

[@raywolf32]

Good video, is there a specific basket you’d use for half load? Some dishwasher recommend the top one, also the electric cable could do with being a bit longer, any suggestions of how to get a longer lead?

[@lords-electrical]

There isn't really a recommendation for which basket to use. I haven't seen a longer mains lead but you may need to use a short extension lead. Don't cut the plug off the old lead and if you have to use a longer extension lead make sure it is fused

[@michaelhunt3643]

I have just today, replaced my 9 yr old Bosch dishwasher for this model. My immediate impression is that this is very flimsy in comparison, even the cabinet . The old model controls were straight forward and simple for anyone to understand, without having to refer to a rubbish booklet,. This is unnecessarily far too complicated, particularly to set up. Even the racks are less robust than previous models and the high level cup rack is no longer. Everything is cheap and nasty plastic. Having filled the salt and rinse aid dispensers, read and re-read the instructions, I am still at a loss as to how I am supposed to set up the salt levels and rinse aid levels.(our water is very hard). The instruction book jumps about all over the place and is probably one of the worst I have come across, very confusing. My mistake was in replacing like for like and buying this on the internet, without physically checking the machine out. This is a lesson to me, just because they used to be good machines, is no guarantee that they still are. The electronics seem so fussy and flimsy, that I worry it won't last long, certainly not 9 yrs! I think an extended warranty may turn out to be an expensive but essential added extra. Learn by my mistake, don't buy it.

[@davewright7512]

Fill the salt to the top, fill the rinse aid until it bubbles, not hard

[@AlexPapineau]

First 👍🏼

[@zarmusic8155]

Wont even start. Hilarious
