What do those dishwasher symbols mean?
Getting the most out of your dishwasher is easy once you understand the most common symbols and settings. Our dishwasher symbols guide helps you quickly understand the basics, and discover dishwasher functions that save you time and energy.
All Bosch dishwasher features are uniquely designed to offer peace of mind. From our energy-saving PerfectDry feature to the TimeLight function on our built-in models that lets you know the dishwasher is running without opening the door.
Your frequently asked dishwasher questions, answered.
Do I still have to dry some items by hand?
Not with PerfectDry. Bosch's unique PerfectDry feature uses natural Zeolith minerals to dry everything to perfection, including pans, glasses and even plastic items. All your items – perfectly dry and cupboard ready.
How can I wash dishes quickly?
Advanced options like SpeedPerfect or SpeedPerfect Plus can wash and dry a full load of dishes quickly and with great results by reducing rinse times by up to 66%. Select these options whenever you need clean dishes fast.
How can I save money on dishwashing?
Innovations like Bosch's LoadSensor detect when you're washing a smaller load to make sure only the necessary amount of water and electricity is used. Also, look out for machines with good energy efficiency ratings.
How can I make my dishwasher quieter?
Keeping the house quiet can sometimes be difficult, but our dishwashers with EcoSilence Drive run much smoother and quieter thanks to an energy-saving motor.
If noise levels are important, especially in open kitchens or when entertaining, use our special SuperSilence Plus programme to reduce noise levels to just 38db (A).
