Help! Does your Bosch DW dry dishes?!
Comments (12)Update: we tried a second load, this time with more dishes. They came out a lot drier. Still not ready to be put away, but much better. It seems the thermal mass of the dishes helps the drying process. As I type, my husband is at the store getting some "Jet-Dry," and we just finished our first non-takeout dinner, so we'll have a full dishwasher and the rinse agent to try tonight! Running an empty dishwasher around here will be a rare event. The things you learn in a new kitchen! (Now that we have a side-lever faucet, we suddenly realized that we both always use our left hand to turn on the water, but the lever is on the right side! Who'd'a thunk?!) Thanks for all help and advice, I'll post a follow-up when we've used our dishwasher in the normal mode we'll always use it in....See MoreHalf Load and Sanitize options in Bosch 800 series dishwashers
Comments (6)snowflake, I have the SHE58 series dishwasher. Let me try to answer your questions, though you might have better luck if you post this to the Appliances forum. 1. The rinse temp is raised to 160 F, for a period of time long enough to heat the water and maintain that temp for sanitisation, according to NSF standards. 2. On Bosch dishwashers, there is no "Sanitise" cycle. It is incorporated into the rinse cycle of the more normal to heavy programmes. My model has 5 cycles, of those 5, the "Auto", "Normal" and "Auto Super" wash cycles provide an automatic sanitising phase. While, the "Delicate/Econo" and "Quick" wash cycles do not. Also, there is no manual temp selection. The dishwasher "senses" the soil level and chooses a temp from the range within the cycle parameters. 3. I think I covered this one above. 4. "Half Load" is active in the 3 heavier cycles. It reduces at least two of the three variables you speak of, it omits at least one prerinse (on the "Auto and Regular" cycles it goes straight into the main wash), and time. I'm not sure of temp though, but I think that is maintained within the range specified in the programme. 5. Mine came with a cutlery tray that holds small knives and can also hold larger utensils that don't fit in the cutlery tray. I use it infrequently. It fits on the left side of the upper rack and works much like the fold down shelves, so you have to be careful with arrangement of things or they won't get enough spray. Hope this answers most of your questions, Todd...See Morebosch 800 series, GE profile, or Miele Dishwasher?
Comments (4)When my kitchen remodel was done in 2006, we went with a GE Profile from Lowes that was $700. It has repaired about 7 times in the course if a year. Lowes took it back and have us store credit that we used for an Electrolux Wave Touch at $1200. It never worked right for 2 months. Lowes then refunded us back. After being without a unit for the next 2 years, I did some research and decided to go with the Miele Diamante Plus at $1500. I've had it 5 years now and would only ever go with another Miele dishwasher in the future. Even though it doesn't have a heating element, the drying is fine. Only some plastic cups will pond some water on the top, or some Tupperware items need hand dried....See MoreBosch 800 Series Dishwasher Help!
Comments (4)Extra Shine forces a 162°F sani rinse on every wash cycle - even Express - and extends the drying cycle. It's basically like selecting Sanitary and leaving the door shut for an extra couple of minutes after the cycle is done. The Auto cycle has a higher temp range than Normal so I'd probably choose Auto for everyday dishes. Your manual lists all the information on page 14 and 15. Alex...See Morejakvis
