BOSCH SMS46KW02E
Say goodbye to washing up by hand and forget about the pile of dirty dishes on your kitchen counter. The Bosch dishwasher will make sure your dishes are sparkling clean. This standard Bosch dishwasher is 60cm wide and is suitable for a larger family that does a lot of cooking. You can place it anywhere you have access to a water supply, drain and electricity. The advantage of a freestanding dishwasher is that it doesn't have to be part of a fitted kitchen. The control panel is located on the front of the door, so you can operate the dishwasher even when it is closed. The dishwasher can accommodate dishes up to a maximum height of 3.1cm. The dishwasher won't be too noisy in your home, as its noise level is 46dB, which corresponds to a normal conversation. It has a weight of 52.4kg.

The Bosch dishwasher has great features
You can easily adjust the baskets to the position according to the height of the dishes being washed. The dishwasher has a very practical water sensor function, which can set the required amount of detergent, pressure, water temperature and number of rinses based on the hardness, temperature and soiling of the water. This minimises the consumption of water, energy and detergent. The dishwasher also has an easy-to-read display, which will keep you informed about its operation. A light indicator for the washing phase informs you whether the washing process is still in progress or has already finished. This will give you an overview of when the dishes are ready to be taken out.
Useful functions and programmes make work more pleasant
The Bosch dishwasher will take care of perfectly clean dishes without any effort on your part. You can devote the time you save to your hobbies. You'll appreciate the glass protection programme for washing delicate dishes. It ensures that glasses are clean, shiny and free of dried water spots. A heat exchanger is located right next to the tank, which provides the required water temperature for washing the dishes. The temperatures in the dishwasher are then balanced, which means that glass and ceramic dishes do not crack, but retain their original appearance. The self-cleaning filter makes operation easy and smooth. The Hygiene programme deals with bacteria and microorganisms because it uses higher temperatures than standard wash cycles. The intensive programme will help you tackle baked-on food residue and heavy soiling.
Safety and comfort first
The Bosch dishwasher will become a key element of your daily life. If water starts to leak from the hose, you can rely on the added aqua stop function, which will turn off the dishwasher and shut off the inlet valve. For this reason, you do not have to worry about an unexpected accident when you start the dishwasher and are not at home. Parents of small children will find the child lock useful, which they can use to lock the control panel and prevent the dishwasher from being accidentally switched on or switched to another programme. The advantages also include the fact that children cannot get to the detergent dispenser. To save energy, the dishwasher can be connected to a hot water supply.
Energy values of the dishwasher
The BOSCH SMS46KW02E dishwasher belongs to the energy class E. It guarantees you low energy consumption with high-quality washing. Its ecological programme corresponds to an electricity consumption of 94kWh. You can load up to 13 place settings of crockery per wash cycle. The economy programme for washing mixed crockery and cutlery lasts for 0.06h. The dishwasher uses far less water than washing dishes by hand. The ECO programme reduces water consumption to as little as 9.5L. The dimensions of the Bosch dishwasher are 84.5 × 60 × 60cm (H×W×D).
Information on the energy label of dishwashers:
- The header indicates the manufacturer and model of the dishwasher
- Scale of energy classes (left), specific energy class of the appliance (right)
- kWh/annum: annual energy consumption, corresponds to 100 cycles in the eco programme
- Number of place settings: capacity of standard place settings in the eco programme
- Litres: water consumption in the eco programme in litres per cycle
- Time: duration of the eco programme in h:min
- dB: airborne noise level expressed in dB(A) and airborne noise emission class
__________________________________________________________________
The capacity of a dishwasher is given in the number of standard place settings = one dinner plate, one soup plate, one dessert plate, one mug, one glass and one complete set of cutlery. The permissible deviations for verification are as follows: annual energy and water consumption and programme duration may be 10% higher, drying efficiency class 19% higher, the noise level must be the same or lower.
Is it possible to remove the top panel of a freestanding dishwasher, and how tall will it be afterwards?
Yes, on most freestanding dishwashers the top lid can be removed. This brings the appliance's height down from 85 cm to 81.5 cm, allowing it to fit under a standard countertop.
What is the difference between freestanding/undercounter/built-in/fully integrated dishwashers?
A freestanding model has its own outer casing and top lid. An undercounter model sits under the counter but keeps its original front door and control panel. A built-in (semi-integrated) model has its front covered by a kitchen cabinet panel, though the control panel stays visible. A fully integrated model is completely hidden behind the cabinet door, with the control panel mounted on the top edge of the door.
What does it mean that the front panel on the door is not included in the delivery?
For built-in and fully integrated models, the dishwasher ships without an outer decorative panel. That panel, matching your kitchen's design, is supplied and fitted by your kitchen furniture provider.
What is the duration of each program?
Duration depends on the cycle chosen. Quick or 1-hour cycles run about 30–60 minutes, while an Auto cycle (45–65°C) takes around 2–2.5 hours. The Eco 50°C program can run 3.5 to 4 hours, since it washes at a lower temperature with longer water contact time to save energy.
On the control panel of the dishwasher, it is not possible to change the program and Eco50 is still illuminated.
A cycle is currently running or was interrupted. Reset the appliance by pressing and holding the "Start" button (or the button marked Reset 3s) for 3 seconds. The display will then show 1 minute remaining, and once that counts down and the water drains, you'll be able to select a new program.
Does the dishwasher have a function to open the door before the program ends?
Yes. Models with EfficientDry automatically open the door slightly during the drying phase, improving results and saving energy. Models with OpenAssist let you open handle-free doors just by pushing on them at any point during the cycle, which pauses the program.
What is Zeolite?
Zeolite is a natural mineral used in dishwashers with PerfectDry technology. During drying, it absorbs moisture and converts it into dry, hot air, resulting in exceptionally dry dishes — plastics included — with very little energy use. The mineral regenerates on its own and never needs replacing.
There is water in the dishwasher after delivery.
This is completely normal and actually a sign of quality control — every Bosch or Siemens dishwasher undergoes a thorough wet test at the end of the production line to confirm watertight seals and proper function of all systems.
The new dishwasher is wet inside and has an odor, is that normal?
Yes, this comes from residual water left over from factory testing, which can affect the air quality inside the sealed packaging. Before first use, we recommend running the Machine Care cycle, or a standard intensive program with cleaner and no dishes loaded.
Can the water and drain connections of the dishwasher be extended?
Yes. To extend the AquaStop inlet hose, an original BSH extension kit (part code SGZ1010) is required. The drain hose can be extended with a standard connector and suitable hose, up to a total length of 3.5 to 4 meters.
Why should I choose a more expensive dishwasher?
Higher-end models tend to run quieter and more efficiently (energy class A/B), offer premium drying via Zeolite, have more flexible interior layouts (VarioDrawer cutlery drawer, Max Flex baskets), include Home Connect connectivity, and last longer thanks to premium materials like a full stainless-steel tub.
What are the advantages of connecting a dishwasher to the Home Connect app?
Home Connect lets you start cycles remotely, receive notifications (cycle finished, low salt or rinse aid), download new specialized programs, get remote diagnostics from customer service, and set water hardness or dosing preferences directly from your phone.
The entire control panel is lit up and the dishwasher cannot be operated.
This is likely caused by an active child lock or a minor software glitch. Try holding the key/padlock icon button for 4 seconds to unlock it. If that doesn't help, unplug the dishwasher or switch off its breaker for 5 minutes to perform a hard reset.
What is the difference between EfficientDry, PerfectDry, extra drying, and OpenAssist?
EfficientDry automatically opens the door at the end of the cycle. PerfectDry uses Zeolite minerals for thorough, cupboard-ready drying without needing to open the door. Extra Dry is an optional setting that raises the final rinse temperature and extends the drying phase. OpenAssist provides an automatic touch-to-open door for handleless kitchen designs.
What is an XXL dishwasher?
An XXL dishwasher is a built-in model with a taller body — 86.5 cm instead of the standard 81.5 cm. That extra 5 cm of interior height makes it well suited to large plates, baking sheets, or tall-stemmed wine glasses.
