Highlights

Height-adjustable up to 5 cm at 3 levels even with a fully loaded top basket



Thanks to the triple Rackmatic system, the height of the top basket can easily be adjusted by up to 5 cm. And you can do this when it's fully loaded. That means even more adjustment options and thus maximum flexibility.



VarioFlex basket system for higher flexibility in the upper and lower basket.



The VarioFlex basket system stands for top flexibility inside the silver-colored baskets. The upper basket features four movable elements (two foldable racks and two shelves) and offers room for glasses, saucers, cups and cutlery as well as for long-stemmed wine glasses and pots. Thanks to four moveable foldable racks there is also room for larger pots and dishes.


Sustainablity

Rinses three times faster with optimum cleaning and drying results with VarioSpeed Plus.



Use the VarioSpeed Plus option to wash and dry a full load of dishes perfectly clean in the shortest of time. Rinse time is reduced at the push of a button by up to 66% with the usual high cleaning efficiency. Simply activate the VarioSpeed Plus option when you need dishes fast, e.g. at family celebrations or birthday parties.


AquaSensor: stain detection for brilliantly clean dishes.



The AquaSensor regulates the water usage depending on the type and degree of soiling, using light beams to manage the rinse. Depending on remaining food particles, grease or detergent residues in the rinse, the rinsing process is assessed to evaluate whether it needs to be continued.


Less water, less energy, better performance.



Bosch's innovative ActiveWater technology maximises efficiency to produce outstanding results whilst protecting the environment. With carefully targeted water distribution, improved filter technology, faster heating and increased pump output for more water circulation, ActiveWater dishwashers give superb results.


Health

HygienePlus option: Rinsing with higher temperatures for highest hygienic performance.



HygienePlus is a new option that can be activated in many programmes, and guarantees maximum hygiene thanks to antibacterial cleaning. This effect is achieved by a higher temperature level of up to 70°C during rinsing, sustained for approximately 10 minutes. HygienePlus is therefore ideal for people with high hygiene standards, for instance in households with small children or allergy sufferers.


SuperSilence: exceptionally quiet operation at only 40-45 dB.

The electronically operated engine and many noise reduction measures, secure the exceptionally quiet operation of our SuperSilence dishwashers. Advantageous for eat-in kitchen or open areas.


Glass protection technology for extra gentle handling for your delicate glasses.


Glass protection technology for extra gentle handling of your delicate glasses. As soft water may cause glass corrosion, Bosch’s glass protection technology ensures that the water hardness inside the dishwasher is maintained within the required range. With this feature, you can rest assured that your valuable glasses and fine china are always washed with special care.


Performance

Easy pre-select programme start for the desired start time.



With the time delay function you can pre-select the programme for the desired start time. This allows you to handle your appliance conveniently, at any time during the day, during work hours or at night. After the start of the programme a display indicates the precise remaining time.


LoadSensor automatically saves water and energy for fewer dishes.



With an in-built rotary speed sensor that detects the load weight and water level in the dishwasher, Bosch’s LoadSensor technology enables optimal adjustment of water consumption, while lowering noise levels.



Heat Exchanger: always the right temperature for optimal dish care.



Dishwashers with heat exchangers treat precious glasses and porcelain with particular care and no risks. Water is pre-heated in the rinsing tank to avoid any temperature shocks.



AquaStop with 100% lifetime guarantee against water damage.



The AquaStop system consists of a double-walled supply hose, a safety valve, as well as a floor sump with float switch, offering 100% protection against water damage. Guaranteed by Bosch for lifetime.


Automatic programmes ensure automatically the best cleaning performance.



Water usage, water temperature and rinse time are adjusted exactly to suit the level of soiling. This provides best results while saving water and energy.


EcoSilence DriveTM: powerful, durable, quiet and efficient.



To increase our cleaning efficiency we have developed the economical EcoSilence DriveTM. It is exceptionally quiet, efficient and guarantees low electricity consumption. The EcoSilence DriveTM works without brushes is ultra silent and top results are automatically guaranteed.



Glass 40° programme: the extra gentle rinse programme for best cleaning, optimum drying and brilliant shine.



The new glass 40° programme gently cleans glasses such as high-quality crystal glasses, while providing optimum drying and achieving a brilliant shine. This is made possible through lower temperatures, an adjustment in the rinsing agent temperature and an extension of the drying period. Shiny glasses and residue-free drying are clear proof of a brilliant and gentle cleaning result.


DosageAssist ensures optimum results thanks to effective dissovlving of the cleaner tab.



The DosageAssist ensures optimal cleaning results and a quieter wash. The detergent drops out the detergent dispenser and into a special tray on the top basket where it gets completely dissolved.


Our quality guarantee: 10-year rust through warranty against interior rusting.



We have developed special surface treatments and production processes that are precisely tailored to the materials used in the interior of our dishwashers. As a result, a 10-year guarantee against rust through of the inner cavity, from the inside out, on all our dishwashers can be offered. This guarantee can be activated for all dishwashers purchased from 01.01.2012 onwards.
