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.

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.

The IntensiveZone option, which can be added to many programmes, ensures a higher spraying pressure and increases the temperature in the lower basket. Heavily soiled pots and pans are cleaned optimally whilst more delicate dishes can be placed in the upper basket.

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.

The load weight is detected by a rotary speed sensor which recognizes the water level. For bigger loads, more water is needed to soak the dishes and the water level decreases. In that case more water is added. For smaller loads, less water is needed for rinsing. The load sensor provides for optimal water usage even for half loads or partial loads, saving water and electricity.

The Aqua Sensor 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.

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.

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.

Resource-saving water management with intelligent water usage achieves minimal consumption per wash cycle: for example the ActiveWater Eco dishwasher uses only 6 litres of water in the standard programme with optimised hygienic cleaning.

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 silenct and top results are automatically guaranteed.

Because soft water causes glass corrosion, Bosch dishwashers with glass protection technology constantly regulate the degree of hardness. This is how we ensure that valuable glasses and delicate china are always washed with special care.

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.

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.

The Glass 40 °C program gently cleans glasses like high-quality crystal while providing optimal drying and achieving a brilliant shine. This is made possible by lowering temperatures, adjusting the rinse-agent’s temperature, and extending the drying period. Shiny glasses and residue-free drying are clear proof of a brilliant and gentle cleaning result.

The Glass Rack allows you to safely store extra high glasses, bottles or vases in the lower 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.

Retains the luminous shine of your glasses, even after many wash cycles. A special valve automatically keeps water hardness at an optimally balanced level – fully independent of your water hardness settings.

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.

The silence program is the quietest way to run your dishwasher. By activating it, you automatically reduce the noise levels of your dishwasher to the lowest minimum possible. This is achieved by an especially adapted Eco 50 °C program, a reduced spray pressure and extended cleaning phase.

Activating the Extra Dry option dries your dishes extra-thoroughly by higher temperatures during the rinse cycle and a longer drying phase – with just one push of a button.
