When you start up a new Bosch dishwasher for the first time, you might see the display showing "Auto" or "Automatic" on the control panel. This is because most Bosch dishwashers come with a default setting for the wash cycle, and the "Auto" setting refers to the automatic or sensor-based wash program.
The "Auto" or "Automatic" setting is designed to be a convenient and efficient option. When you select this program, the dishwasher's built-in sensors will detect the level of soil and dirt on your dishes. Based on this information, the dishwasher will adjust the water temperature, cycle duration, and water usage to provide the best cleaning results while conserving energy and water.
The automatic program is ideal for everyday use when you have a mixed load of dishes with varying levels of cleanliness. It adapts to different types of dishes and soil levels, making it a versatile and hassle-free choice. However, if you have specific requirements, such as heavy-duty cleaning or delicate items, you can choose other specialized programs on the dishwasher's control panel.
It's worth noting that the specific options and features may vary depending on the model and series of your Bosch dishwasher. Always refer to the user manual that comes with your dishwasher to understand the available settings and programs for your particular model.
