Bosch Serie 2 SMV40C00GB Built In Fully Integrated Dishwasher

Expect productivity and performance from the Bosch Serie 2 SMV40C00GB Built In Fully Integrated Dishwasher.

This appliance makes the most of the resources used and will keep you informed of its progress, every step of the way.

An InfoLight beams a red LED spot onto the floor, when a programme is running, so you'll know when the dishwasher is working.

And that's from behind the cupboard door, as this model is fully integrated. It joins up with the cabinetry, under a worktop, to sit above a unit's plinth in a fitted kitchen.

Four programmes, at three different temperatures, are accessed through the control panel, found at the top of the dishwasher door as it's opened.

The quick wash, normal and eco cycles use heat of 45, 50 and 65 degrees respectively, with a pre-rinse for heavily-soiled crockery.

Water hardness into the machine is regulated, so the fluid will offer glasses and delicate china protection automatically.

A built-in load sensor function can detect the weight of each load and can adjust the time, energy and water used accordingly.

This is not to the detriment of the end results, though, as the water distribution is targeted and heated quicker, while the pump motion is increased.

This has earned the dishwasher an A+ rating for energy efficiency, with estimated consumption of 290 kWh using the Eco programme, based on 280 cycles per year.

It's also A graded for washing and drying performance, with an Active Water rinsing system using the curved spray arms and residual heat drying function.

The brushless motor moves through frictionless magnets, with no belt or pulley that can snap over time, at a maximum noise level of 54 decibels.

The Dosage Assist dispensing set-up makes the most of the detergent used, by going through a tray on the top basket where it completely dissolves.

The upper basket is adjustable, to make room for bigger items in the lower basket, and there's a removable cutlery holder. The dishwasher has a 12-place setting capacity.

One place setting is defined as a large dinner plate, small snack plate, saucer, bowl, coffee cup, drinking glass, knife, dinner fork, small salad fork and two teaspoons.
