What is Condensation 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. Here's how it works: 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. For extra drying assistance, select the SANITIZE or EXTRA DRY options. Select models have an Extra Dry option, which adds extra heat to the final rinse to enhance drying results. The Sanitize option on select models increases the time and temperature of the final rinse to eliminate up to 99.9% of bacteria, and enhances drying results.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.I'm not sure what exactly condensation drying is. I guess I should read the book ;). I know people get concerned because they don't have a dryer, but my last dishwasher did. The dishes come out dryer in my Bosch. I set it on speed wash. There is far less moisture than on my old Frigidaire. Mostly it's on the tops of my Tervis, sitting in the divot. Or the rim on the edge of the Rubbermaid containers. I love this dishwasher. So easy to load all my dishes.
