FAQs

What is the benefit of the VarioDrawer?

The VarioDrawer is a third loading level specifically designed for cutlery, freeing up space in the lower basket for larger items like plates and pots. It ensures thorough cleaning of each utensil and makes loading/unloading more organized.

How does PerfectDry technology work?

PerfectDry uses Zeolith minerals, which absorb moisture and release heat during the drying phase. This natural process ensures outstanding drying results, even on challenging items like plastic containers, with less energy consumption.

How often should I clean the dishwasher filters?

It's recommended to check and clean your dishwasher filters weekly or at least every two weeks, depending on usage. Regular cleaning prevents food particles from recirculating and causing odors or poor wash results.

Do I need to use dishwasher salt and rinse aid?

Yes, for optimal performance, especially if you have hard water. Dishwasher salt softens the water, preventing limescale buildup and improving cleaning. Rinse aid helps with drying, prevents water spots, and ensures a streak-free finish, which is crucial for PerfectDry effectiveness.

What are the dimensions of this dishwasher?

The Bosch SMS6ZCW10G has dimensions of 845 mm (height) x 600 mm (width) x 600 mm (depth). Please measure your available space carefully before installation.

How quiet is the Silence Pro motor?

The Silence Pro motor is designed for remarkably quiet operation, making the dishwasher one of the quieter models available. This allows you to run cycles day or night without disturbing your household, particularly in open-plan living spaces.

What does 'Energy Class B' mean for this dishwasher?

Energy Class B indicates that the dishwasher is highly energy-efficient. It consumes less electricity compared to lower-rated appliances, helping to reduce your energy bills and minimize its environmental impact without compromising wash or dry performance.

Troubleshooting

Dishes are not clean after a cycle.

Check if the spray arms are blocked by large dishes; ensure filters are clean; verify that you are using enough detergent and that it's suitable for your water hardness. Proper loading, avoiding overcrowding, is also crucial.

Dishes are not dry, especially plastics.

Ensure the rinse aid dispenser is filled and its dosage is correctly set. For optimal drying, especially with plastics, make sure the PerfectDry function is enabled in your settings (if applicable) and consider using a program that utilizes its full potential.

Dishwasher is not draining water.

First, check the filters for any blockages. Next, inspect the drain hose for kinks or obstructions. Also, ensure your sink's drain or garbage disposal is not clogged, as this can affect the dishwasher's drainage.

Unusual noises during operation.

Foreign objects (like cutlery or small dishes) can sometimes fall into the pump area or interfere with spray arm rotation. Check the bottom of the tub and ensure all dishes are securely loaded and not touching the spray arms.

Error code displayed on the screen.

Consult your dishwasher's user manual for a list of error codes and their meanings. Often, a simple power cycle (unplugging for a few minutes and plugging back in) can resolve minor electronic glitches. If the error persists, further investigation might be needed.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Exceptional drying performance, even for plastic items, thanks to PerfectDry.
  • Very quiet operation, suitable for open-plan kitchens.
  • High capacity with 14 place settings to handle large loads.
  • Flexible loading options with VarioFlex baskets and VarioDrawer for diverse items.
  • Good energy efficiency (Class B) helps reduce utility bills.

Cons

  • Requires regular refilling of rinse aid for optimal PerfectDry results.
  • Initial purchase cost may be higher compared to more basic dishwasher models.
  • Standard width (600mm) may not fit all kitchen cabinet openings.
  • Eco programs might have longer cycle times, typical for energy-efficient washing.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Setup

  1. Placement: Ensure the dishwasher is placed on a stable, level surface. The product dimensions are 845 mm (height) x 600 mm (width) x 600 mm (depth). Confirm your kitchen space can accommodate these measurements.
  2. Water Connection: Connect the water inlet hose to a cold water supply tap (or hot water supply if specified in the full manual, but cold is standard). Ensure the drain hose is correctly connected to your sink's waste pipe or a dedicated standpipe, with no kinks.
  3. Electrical Connection: Plug the appliance into a grounded electrical outlet. Ensure the voltage matches your household supply.
  4. Leveling: Use the adjustable feet to perfectly level the dishwasher, preventing vibrations and ensuring proper door closure. Use a spirit level to verify.

Compatibility

This freestanding dishwasher is designed to fit standard kitchen cavities. Its 600mm width is common for full-size dishwashers. It requires access to a standard electrical outlet (typically 220-240V), a cold water supply, and a drain connection.

Care and Maintenance

Regular care ensures optimal performance and longevity:

  • Clean Filters: Regularly check and clean the filter system (usually located at the bottom of the tub) to prevent blockages and ensure effective cleaning. This should ideally be done weekly or bi-weekly depending on usage.
  • Check Spray Arms: Ensure the holes in the spray arms are not clogged with food particles. You can usually remove them for easier cleaning.
  • Refill Rinse Aid: For sparkling, streak-free dishes and effective PerfectDry results, regularly check and refill the rinse aid dispenser. Adjust the dosage setting as needed.
  • Refill Dishwasher Salt: If you live in a hard water area, periodically refill the salt reservoir. This prevents limescale buildup and ensures your detergent works efficiently.
  • Clean Door Seal: Wipe down the rubber door seal with a damp cloth to remove any food residue or grime, which can cause odors.
  • Descaling: Every few months, consider running an empty cycle with a dishwasher cleaner or descaling agent to remove grease and limescale buildup inside the appliance.
