A:AnswerBosch DWs do not need an external air gap if the drain hose is installed at the recommended height to prevent cross-contamination. Double check with your local codes to check for compliance.
A:AnswerWe have the same problem (pushing auto air after choosing a cycle that is not rinse does not set auto air). I found a workaround in the user manual: change the default setting in memory to pop the door open every time.
1. Turn On
2. Hold down Normal button and press Start. This opens the settings menu.
3. Hit Normal button to cycle through settings until you find o:00 (open no) and hit Rinse button to change to o:01 (open yes).
4. Hit Start to save settings.
Now when I turn on, Auto Air is selected by default.
You can also change the dumb setting that keeps the power on all night after cycle finished. It has a power off after one minute option.
