Tips to Maximize Drying.

Steps

1. Use Finish® JetDry® rinse aid to help dishes dry faster.*

2. For everyday use, we recommend Auto Cycle.

Auto Cycle - Best for mixed loads of dishes with varying amounts of food soil

3. Select special drying options like "Sanitize and Extra Dry".

Sanitize - Operates at a higher temperature to help eliminate bacteria and enhance drying results.

Extra Dry - Delivers enhanced drying results.

4. Pull out lower racks first to avoid dripping water from the upper rack.

How does it work?

Rinse aid lowers the surface tension of water and causes it to easily slide off. This allows dishes to dry faster. *

Which rinse aid to use?

We recommend Finish® Jet-Dry® for regular drying needs and Finish® Turbo-Dry® for extra drying assistance with plastics.

What is Condensation Drying?

All Bosch dishwashers use a condensation drying process. Instead of utilizing a heating element at the bottom of a dishwasher, condensation drying involves a number of dishwashing elements that work together to efficiently dry your dishes. Condensation drying is more hygenic and energy efficient than drying with a heating element. Additionally, since Bosch dishwashers do not use a heating element, your plastics are safe in the lower rack.

Here's how it works:

The final rinse uses high-temperature water to make the dishes very hot.

The stainless steel tub of the dishwasher cools faster than your dishes because stainless steel cools faster than glass and porcelain.

Condensation occurs when the moist air in the dishwasher comes into contact with the cooler stainless steel tub, and turns into water droplets. These water droplets trickle down to the bottom of the dishwashers and are drained.

For extra drying assistance, select the SANITIZE or EXTRA DRY options.

Select models have an Extra Dry option, which adds extra heat to the final rinse to enhance drying results. The Sanitize option on select models increases the time and temperature of the final rinse to eliminate up to 99.9% of bacteria, and enhances drying results.
