Description
Bosch Series 4 13 Place Freestanding Dishwasher – SMS46FI20Z
The Bosch SMS46FI20Z is a Series 4 60cm freestanding dishwasher designed for households looking for flexible loading, effective cleaning and enhanced drying performance.
Finished in brushed steel with an anti-fingerprint coating, this full-size Bosch dishwasher accommodates 13 place settings and offers 6 wash programmes for different loads and cleaning requirements.
The VarioDrawer provides an additional loading level for cutlery and smaller kitchen utensils, while Rackmatic lets you adjust the height of the upper basket to create additional room for taller glasses, plates or cookware.
For faster washing, VarioSpeed Plus can reduce programme duration when required. HygienePlus uses an extended higher-temperature cycle for enhanced hygienic cleaning, while the Extra Dry option provides stronger drying performance when needed.
The SMS46FI20Z also uses Bosch's Heat Exchanger drying system and includes Glass Care to help protect delicate glassware during washing.
