Do Bosch dishwashers work without hot water?

Yes, our dishwashers work without hot water and we do recommend connecting the appliance to cold water unless you have an energetically favourable means of generating energy from a suitable installation, e.g. solar heating system with circulation line. Our dishwashers have a heat pump, which regulates the temperature of the water according to the selected programme.

Other general installation requirements:
Water pressure:
Minimum 0,05 MPa (0,5 bar) – maximum 1 MPa (10 bar).
If the water pressure is higher, install a pressure reducing valve.
Flow rate:
Minimum of 10 litres per minute.

If you have any questions, don't hesitate to contact us.
