The economy cycle is a longer programme which uses less water and electricity, ideal for removing common household food remnants lightly dried on.

An intense cycle using high temperatures and increased spray pressure, ideal for dishes with very stubborn, burned or dried-on food remains.

The auto cycle is ideal for removing common household food remnants lightly dried on.

The Glass 40 °C programme adjusts the temperature and extends the drying period to gently clean glasses such as high-quality crystal, leaving a brilliant shine.

The silence programme uses an adapted Eco 50 °C programme, a reduced spray pressure and extended cleaning phase to reduce the noise levels of your dishwasher.

A short rinse cycle used before a full wash cycle. Useful for loosening dried on food remains and when dishes have been left for a while.

A quick wash cycle for when in a hurry. Ideal for removing part dried, common household food remnants.

A short cycle ideal for removing common household food remnants lightly dried on.

A programme used in combination with machine cleaning detergent to clean your dishwasher and reduce the development of limescale, grease and odours.

To stay at their best, different dishes and glassware need to be washed in different ways. With the Bosch Home Connect app, simply tell your dishwasher what’s in the load and it’ll work out the perfect program.

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

With VarioSpeed Plus, you can cut the cleaning time with the press of a button. Combine your favourite programme* with the VarioSpeed Plus option and cleaning time is automatically reduced by up to 66%. The result is sparkling, with dry dishes in a shorter time. (*Does not apply to pre-rinse or quick-wash programmes.)

A hotter final rinse is held for longer with temperatures of up to 70°C for higher anti-bacterial performance. Hygiene plus is therefore ideal for anyone who requires the highest hygiene standards, for example allergy sufferers or families with small children. Please note it is not suitable for sterilising baby bottles.

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

If you have only a few items to wash (e.g. glasses, cups, plates), you can switch to “half load”. This will save water, energy and time.

By increasing the amount of water during the rinse cycle and extending the drying phase, water marks are prevented and the drying result is improved. There is a slight increase in the energy consumption. Rinse aid is recommended for the high gloss drying function (even when using combination detergents).

Get the most out of your detergent with Dosage Assist; a small area at the front of the top basket that catches the tablet when it’s released during the cycle. It controls how the tablet is dissolved for optimum performance.

A selection of our dishwashers will hold up 14 place settings in one load – perfect for larger households.

Self cleaning filter system, with spray arms designed to direct water at the filters on every rotation. Please note, self cleaning filters are designed to keep filters clear during the washing cycle. Regular filter cleaning and maintenance is still recommended.

Our 45cm models feature a twin spray arm in the top basket to ensure perfect water coverage every time.
