Extra Information

The SMI6HCS01A is designed for semi-integrated installation, retaining the visible stainless steel control fascia while allowing the lower section of the dishwasher door to be fitted with a matching cabinetry panel. The custom panel is not supplied with the appliance and must be provided by the kitchen manufacturer or cabinetmaker.

The Max Flex basket system includes redesigned lower basket supports, foldable plate racks, cup shelves, and smoother basket runners for flexible dish placement across varied load types. The Rackmatic system allows the upper basket height to be adjusted even when loaded.

Bosch Home Connect functionality enables remote programme selection, cycle notifications, and appliance monitoring through compatible smart devices. The Extra Quiet programme further reduces operational noise during low-noise operating periods.

The Extra Clean Zone provides enhanced cleaning pressure in the upper basket area through integrated rotating spray nozzles, improving cleaning performance on heavily soiled dishes without increasing water consumption across the full cavity.
