1. Why was my dishwasher wet when it first arrived at my home?
You may notice some water droplets inside the dishwasher when it arrives. Every Bosch dishwasher must pass 485 stringent quality checks- including running every single one with water- before leaving our factory. So you can rest assured that your dishwasher will be ready to take on whatever life throws your way.
2. How does condensation drying work?
All Bosch dishwashers use a condensation drying process known as PureDry™, which is the core drying system that delivers simply clean and dry dishes. PureDry™ is an energy efficient, closed drying system that does not pull in outside air or use an exposed heating element. With PureDry™ technology, moisture is gently whisked away from dishes as they cool. And with no exposed heating element, your plastics are safe in the lower rack.

3. Why should I use a rinse aid?
The use of rinse agents, such as Jet Dry®, aids the condensation drying process by reducing the surface tension of water. This in turn allows the water on your dishware surfaces to run off more freely, so they dry better.
4. Extra Dry & Sanitize 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.
