Bosch Dishwasher Cutlery Drawer

1. Remove the Cutlery Drawer (Vario Drawer)

Start by removing the top cutlery drawer, also known as a vario drawer, by sliding it all the way out of the dishwasher.

2. Remove the Side Supports

There is a side support on either side of the drawer that connects to the rails. Both side supports and the wire framing need to come off, as they will be installed on the new drawer. To remove each side support, simply unclip it by pulling up and away.

3. Remove the Wire Frame

To remove the metal wire frame, pull it down and away from the drawer. This can be stiff, so take your time.

4. Fit the Wire Frame to the New Drawer

Unpackage your new cutlery drawer. Line up the wire frame with the new drawer as shown, then push down and clip it into place. Go around all four sides and make sure everything is tightly secured.

5. Attach the Side Supports

Now attach the side supports. They are labelled: L1 means the left side and R1 means the right side. Line up the slot on each side support with the drawer frame, then click it firmly into place.

6. Refit the Cutlery Drawer

Refit the cutlery drawer by lining up the side supports with the rails. Give it a test to make sure it slides in and out smoothly.
