Less water. Less energy.

More performance.

► Introducing Zeolite drying technology - Australia's most energy efficient dishwasher with 4.5 Star Energy rating
► Vibrant, full-colour TFT display provides information throughout wash cycle
► Innovative TimeLight™ technology prevents disruptions by projecting wash cycle information onto floor
► Bosch ActiveWater™ Plus Dishwasher - Australia's most water efficient dishwasher with 5.5 Star Water rating and 10.3 litres per wash


Australia's No 1 dishwasher brand, Bosch, has launched a new range of ActiveWater™ dishwashers, bringing some of the most resource-efficient dishwashers in the world to Australian households.


ActiveWater™ is a revolutionary technology that uses every single drop of water to the maximum. Bosch ActiveWater™ dishwashers generate the cleaning power of over 4,000 litres from as little as 10.3 litres per wash. The new ActiveWater™ Plus model is Australia's most water efficient dishwasher using as little as 10.3 litres per wash.


The new freestanding stainless steel ActiveWater™ dishwasher (SMS69T28AU) is equipped with Bosch's pioneering Zeolite drying system, which converts humidity into heat and uses from just 0.56 kWh of energy per wash. This model proudly carries the title of being Australia's most energy efficient dishwasher, boasting the only 4.5 Star Energy rating on the market.


There are 20 Bosch dishwasher models in total, all of which come with a 10 Year Rust-through warranty. Each is manufactured with Bosch's 'Green Technology inside' maxim - to minimise their impact on the environment without compromising on performance. The latest models are equipped with a plethora of German-designed and engineered features, some of which include:


• TimeLight™: to prevent any interruptions, the illuminated TimeLight™ projects the remaining wash cycle time onto the floor when the dishwasher is in operation. It also shows the current wash program as well as the status of the wash cycle.


• Zeolite technology: a universal breakthrough in dishwasher drying, some new models use Zeolite minerals to naturally absorb water molecules before releasing them as energy for a quicker dry - resulting in the most energy
efficient dishwashing.


• TFT display: Bosch's unique full-colour TFT display provides useful information such as progress of wash cycle, time remaining, wash programs, optional settings and predefined water and energy consumption.


• VarioDrawer Plus™: unique to Bosch, VarioDrawer™ Plus provides a third loading level for cutlery and utensils, creating space in the dishwasher for up to 15 place settings.


Other unique features include:

• EcoSilence™ Drive comprising 2 brushless DC motors to reduce noise and friction
• AquaStop™ Plus for 24/7 anti-flood protection - all Bosch models come with a lifetime guarantee
• DosageAssist™ to maximise effectiveness of detergent tablets
• AutoBrilliance™ for sparkling results
• AquaSensor™ to detect impurities in water
• ActiveWater™ Filter System for better water circulation and cleaning power

With six design solutions, Bosch has the perfect dishwasher to suit every kitchen - from fully and semi integrated, to built-under, freestanding, modular built-in and slimline, the new range has all bases covered.
