A clean white light illuminates the interior when the door is open.
Dishwasher hookup kit is sold separately and is not included.
We don't see a light on the floor. Is our Benchmark Series 24" Top Control defective, or does this model just not have that feature?
Hi Cali, thank you for your question! Some of our dishwasher models feature an InfoLight® that projects a solid beam of light onto the floor to indicate that the cycle is running. However, our Benchmark® Series models have a TimeLight® feature located in the pocket handle. While the cycle is running, the TimeLight® feature displays status information such as delay time, cycle information, or remaining time. We hope this information is helpful, and we appreciate your choice of Bosch!
Is there a particular type of salt for the dishwaters water softener that is recommended or will any water softener salt be okay? If so where would you purchase this particular salt? How often would you say the softener needs to be refilled?
Great questions! You should only use special salt specifically labeled 'Dishwasher Salt'; standard table salt or rock salt can damage the softening system. This can be purchased directly online or in many grocery or home‑improvement stores. Refill frequency depends on water hardness and usage (typically every 1–3 months). Dishwasher models featuring a water softener will conveniently display a 'Refill Salt' indicator light when it's time to top it off!
How well does the dishwasher preform/last with a whole house salt water softener?
Thanks for your question! While the longevity of an appliance depends on numerous factors, reducing limescale through a whole-house softener is a great way to support your dishwasher's performance.
