ExtraDry
Activating the ExtraDry option provides thorough drying to the dishes by higher temperatures during the rinse cycle and a longer drying phase. Very pratical and convenient just by the push of a button.

Tested Hygiene Quality
Viruses such as corona and influenza are effectively eliminated in Eco 50°C, tested by the Institute for Integrative Hygiene and Virology (Level 1 Hygiene label). Significant higher levels of hygiene can be reached with higher temperature programmes, being effective against more resilient viruses, including enveloped and non-enveloped viruses. This was confirmed for Intensive 70°C and Machine Care maintenance cycle (Level 3 Hygiene label).

VarioFlex-baskets and VarioDrawer
VarioFlex-baskets and VarioDrawer: The VarioFlex basket system stands for high flexibility and convenience when handling the baskets. This is ensured by eight moveable elements in the upper basket (glass rack, foldable racks and shelves). Thanks to the red touchpoints, you can always see immediately where and how you can adjust the baskets flexibly to the dishes to be loaded. The lower basket even offers nine moveable elements (higher in the rear for glass racks, foldable racks and shelves). The foldable racks offer extra protection and stability through their rounded head ends. And thanks to the stainless steel handles everything is conveniently and quickly accessible.

VarioDrawer
Sometimes you can’t fit everything you want into your dishwasher because of its inflexible setup. The VarioDrawer is an extra level at the top of Activewater dishwashers, which solves this problem. It is the ideal place for cutlery and smaller kitchen utensils like ladles or whisks and can even fit espresso cups. This gives you more flexibility when loading your dishwasher and leaves more space in the bottom basket. The cutlery basket can also be replaced by the VarioDrawer in order to create capacity for up to 14 place settings in 60cm dishwashers and 10 place settings in 45cm dishwashers. As a result, your dishwasher will allow for more flexible and comfortable loading.

Rackmatic
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 its fully loaded. That means even more adjustment options and thus maximum flexibility.

AquaStop
Leak protection is essential for dishwashers. Our AquaStop system delivers fail-safe leak protection. When the sensor detects a leak, the dishwasher automatically stops operating, pumping out water and shuts the separate valve next to the tap. With AquaStop you’re protected from water damage – a promise and a warranty for the lifetime of your dishwasher.

DosageAssist
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.

Automatic Programmes
Different loads of washing require different wash settings. Choosing the incorrect programme not only wastes time, but also water and energy. Bosch automatic programmes automatically regulate the water temperature and rinse time during washing to suit the level of soiling and load volume. This means, with automatic programmes you only use as much water as needed for perfect results. The right wash for every load – all at the touch of a button.
