Siemens hiDefinition SL5A70UC Fully Integrated Dishwasher with 5 Wash Cycles, Flow-Through Water Hea

The Future Moving In In the fall of 2003, Siemens home appliances became available to U.S. consumers for the first time through Best Buy stores nationwide. Globally, Siemens is one of the major forces in the home appliances industry. Sold in more than 55 countries around the globe, Siemens stands for innovative thinking, precision engineering and pure style to millions of people worldwide. Siemens is the number one appliance brand in Germany, the number two appliance brand in Europe and the third largest appliance manufacturer worldwide. In the United States, they're just getting started, and they're excited that U.S. consumers appreciate the technological superiority and stylish design of Siemens appliances. Siemens, the great name in technology, stands for intelligent innovations and consistent orientation toward the future, and a modern approach to the technical features and design of home appliances. Visionary approach and the use of cutting-edge technologies aimed at improved functionality gives rise to pioneering products and solutions that allow the user to perceive and experience progress in a fascinating manner. Home appliances from Siemens are characterized by clear, functional design and optimum precision. Siemens products set standards in the marketplace. They are the result of progressive ideas, a consistent system- and performance-based approach and perfection in the way this is put into practice. A leisurely evening. Brought to you by the Siemens hiDefinition dishwasher. The Siemens hiDefinition dishwasher is a barely audible 48 dBA. That's a little quieter than moderate rainfall. In fact, if you want to hear the dishwasher running during the wash cycle, you have to really concentrate. It's so quiet, in fact, they created activeLight, a red LCD wash status indicator that shines light on the floor to let you know your very quiet dishwasher is still running. The first step in the sanitizing process is the flow-through water heater. Most dishwashers use a heating element that sits in a tub, which heats water as it passes over. Only the water that passes over it or near it gets heated. Not a very efficient way to heat water. And more importantly, the water isn't heated to the proper temperature when the wash cycle begins. Siemens uses a better technology. The Siemens dishwasher uses a flow-through water heater. As the name implies, water flows through the heater. It heats all the water, not just some, to sanitizing temperatures. The water is at the proper temperature from the very beginning of the wash cycle. These sanitizing temperatures are hot enough to break down even food that's dried onto dishes that have been sitting out all night. The triStep self-cleaning filtration system is another important part of the Siemens wash system. It continually removes food particles from the wash water, keeping the water clear. The efficiency of the hot water is maximized as it breaks the food down into smaller and smaller pieces. So you now have a dishwasher full of newly washed and sanitized dishes. What's the best way to dry them? Siemens engineers thought that was an important question. The typical dish-drying method was unacceptable. The way other manufacturers dry dishes is by sucking up dirty, microbe-infected air from the kitchen floor and blowing it all over your wet, clean dishes. That defeats the purpose. They would rather eat off the floor, and that's something they haven't done since college. In any case, Siemens engineers solved the problem by creating an ingenious closed drying system. During the wash cycle, the super-hot wash water heats the stainless steel walls of the wash chamber. Then, during the dry cycle, that stored heat in the walls causes the moisture on the dishes to evaporate and condense, and the condensation runs down the smooth stainless steel walls. It's an inventive system that gives you spot-free dishes that are also 99.9% bacteria free, as certified by the National Sanitation Foundation. In the end, it's a system that gives you the freedom to enjoy each minute of each dinner party. Which of course is the goal of every Siemens hiDefinition dishwasher. minimize
