Features: 12 Place Settings, 5 Wash Cycles, Flexible 3rd Rack, 44 dBA Sound Level, AutoAir
Drying:
All Bosch dishwashers use a condensation drying process. Instead of utilizing a heating element at the bottom of a dishwasher, condensation drying involves a number of dishwashing elements that work together to efficiently dry your dishes. Condensation drying is more hygenic and energy efficient than drying with a heating element. Additionally, since Bosch dishwashers do not use a heating element, your plastics are safe in the lower rack.
The final rinse uses high-temperature water to make the dishes very hot.
The stainless steel tub of the dishwasher cools faster than your dishes because stainless steel cools faster than glass and porcelain.
Condensation occurs when the moist air in the dishwasher comes into contact with the cooler stainless steel tub, and turns into water droplets. These water droplets trickle down to the bottom of the dishwashers and are drained.

Cycle Time
To save energy, this dishwasher has EcoSense where the sensors in the dishwasher automatically adjust the cycle length, temperature and water changes based on the amount of food soil and the incoming water temperature. The Smart Control makes decisions that can cause the cycle time and water usage to adjust intermittently. Wash cycle times are based on 120F (49 C) water supply. If your household water supply is different than 120F (49 C), your dishwashers cycle times may be impacted.

* Soil Sensing is done with a rinse water sensor:
AquaSensor

The AquaSensor is an optical measuring device which measures the cleanliness of the rinse water. The AquaSensor is used according to the wash cycle. If the AquaSensor is active, clean rinse water can be transferred to the next rinse and water consumption can be reduced by 0.81-5 gal (36 liters). If the rinse water is not yet clear, the water is drained and is replaced with fresh water. In the automatic wash cycles the temperature and running time can also be adjusted to the degree of soiling.
