It supports remote control via Bosch Home Connect and provides AquaStop leak protection and automatic detergent detection.

Advantages

The dishwasher combines quiet EcoSilence Drive motor technology with efficient cleaning and a heat exchanger for improved drying. Adjustable interior features — including a three-level upper basket and a dedicated cutlery drawer — make loading flexible for mixed tableware. Safety and convenience are provided by AquaStop leak protection, automatic detergent detection, HalfLoad and remote control through Bosch Home Connect.

Suitable for

• Medium to large households that need a fully integrated dishwasher for a 60 cm cabinet
• Users who prioritise quiet operation and efficient drying

When it may not be suitable

How to use

Load dishes and cutlery into the adjustable baskets and drawer, place detergent in the dispenser and select an appropriate programme using the button controls or the Bosch Home Connect app for remote start. Use HalfLoad for smaller loads and SpeedPerfect Plus when faster yet intensive cleaning is needed. Regularly check and connect the inlet and outlet hoses and ensure AquaStop is enabled for leak protection.

What to consider before purchase

• Available cabinet opening dimensions and maximum installation height (max 87.5 cm)
• Energy class C and average cycle energy consumption
• Noise level (46 dB) relative to your kitchen layout
• Cycle time for standard programmes (up to around 295 minutes)

Usage recommendations

For everyday use, run Eco programmes for energy-efficient washing, use ExtraDry for plastic items that need improved drying, and enable HalfLoad when the dishwasher is not full. Use SpeedPerfect Plus when you need quicker intensive cleaning. Keep the inlet and outlet hoses properly connected and allow the Vario sliding hinges and adjustable upper basket to optimise loading for mixed tableware.
