Why Choose the SIEMENS SN25EC13CE iQ500 Dishwasher
Energy Class A:
economical operation without compromising on washing and drying quality
autoOpen dry:
automatic door opening supports natural dish drying and helps reduce energy consumption
glassZone:
a special zone with a gentle water stream and silicone elements takes care of delicate glassware
flexComfort baskets and varioDrawer:
convenient loading of plates, mugs, glasses, and cutlery thanks to the flexible interior layout
Home Connect:
control, monitoring, notifications, downloadable programmes, and support directly in the app
smartStart – Smart Timing
Let the SIEMENS SN25EC13CE iQ500 dishwasher start when it makes the most sense: smartStart selects the optimal time based on more favourable tariffs – for cheaper operation.
autoOpen dry – Natural Drying
During the drying phase, the door of the SIEMENS SN25EC13CE iQ500 dishwasher automatically opens slightly, which promotes natural air circulation and better drying without additional energy.
glassZone
The glassZone is designed for the gentle washing of fragile glassware. Six special nozzles supply a gentle and continuous stream of water to the glasses, ensuring thorough cleaning without unnecessarily stressing the delicate material. Non-slip silicone elements help keep the glasses stable and protect them from vibrations and unwanted movement.
varioSpeed Plus – Fast and Smart Washing
With the varioSpeed Plus function, you can reduce the washing and drying time by up to a third of the original time and still achieve excellent results. The function can be activated even during a programme that has already started and can also be conveniently controlled via the Home Connect app. It is especially useful when you need clean dishes ready more quickly.
Home Connect – Control From Anywhere
You can control the SIEMENS SN25EC13CE iQ500 dishwasher via your phone or voice, see the cycle progress, receive notifications, and turn on faster or quieter settings. The app can also keep track of your tablet supply.
Automatic Programme – Optimal Settings for You
The automatic programme adjusts the wash cycle to the current level of soiling on the dishes. The aquaSensor evaluates the degree of soiling and adjusts the amount of water, temperature, and programme duration accordingly. The dishwasher thus sets the optimal conditions itself to achieve efficient washing without unnecessary effort.
Tested Hygienic Quality
The SIEMENS SN25EC13CE iQ500 dishwasher offers certified hygienic quality even in the Eco 50°C programme. Higher levels of hygiene can be achieved with programmes at higher temperatures, such as Intensive 70°C or Machine Care. This makes it suitable for households where thorough dish cleanliness is important.
Dosage Assistant – Perfect Dissolving
The dosage assistant helps to make the most of the washing tablet's effect. The tablet is released into a special tray where a targeted stream of water quickly dissolves it and distributes it evenly throughout the dishwasher's interior. The result is efficient use of the detergent and excellent washing results.
aquaStop – Lifelong Security
The aquaStop safety system protects against water damage in the inlet hose and inside the appliance. Siemens provides a warranty on this protection for the entire lifetime of the dishwasher. For a freestanding dishwasher, this is a practical safety feature that contributes to greater peace of mind during daily use.
10-Year Warranty Against Rust-Through
The inner tub of the dishwasher is made of high-quality stainless steel and uses manufacturing processes adapted for long-term use. As a result, Siemens provides a special 10-year warranty against the inner tub rusting through from the inside. The dishwasher is thus designed with an emphasis on durability and a long service life.
iQdrive – Quiet and Economical Motor
The iQdrive motor combines low energy consumption, high performance, and quiet operation. Thanks to its low wear, it is designed for long-term reliable operation and helps to keep the dishwasher efficient in daily use. The SIEMENS SN25EC13CE iQ500 dishwasher can thus handle both regular and more demanding washing with an emphasis on performance and quietness.
intensiveZone – Gentle on Top, Powerful on the Bottom
The intensiveZone function allows you to wash more durable and more delicate dishes at the same time. In the lower basket, it increases the water pressure for heavily soiled pots, pans, or baking dishes, while the upper basket remains gentler for less durable dishes. This allows you to conveniently combine different types of dishes in a single load.
Downloadable Programme – Always Up to Date
Via the Home Connect app, you can download additional programmes to the dishwasher according to your current needs. The appliance thus gains new possibilities for use and adapts better to how you normally wash your dishes. The downloadable programmes function helps keep the dishwasher up to date and expands its practical features.
Programme Assistant – Easy Choice
In the app, you select the type of dishes, the degree of soiling, and your priorities (economy, dryness, speed, quietness). The programme assistant will recommend the ideal cycle – just press Start.
Remote Control and Monitoring
Select a programme, start the dishwasher, and monitor the status from anywhere. Home Connect notifies you when it's finished – no more checking the kitchen. In case of problems, Siemens customer support can, with your consent, perform a remote diagnosis, determine the cause, and recommend a course of action; if an intervention is necessary, a technician will arrive prepared with the necessary parts.
Favourite Button – Your Shortcut
The Favourite button allows you to save your most frequently used combination of programme and additional functions. You can then start it with a single touch on the appliance or conveniently via the Home Connect app. The dishwasher thus easily adapts to your habits, and daily use is even faster.

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.
