What is the Favorite cycle used for?
Favorite is a shortcut for a saved combination of another cycle and selected options.
It does not have one permanent sequence after customization. The stored base cycle, temperature and options determine what the dishwasher actually does.
Choose another cycle for: Comparing it as though it were a separate fixed-time cleaning program.
What this means for your load
A saved program and option combination determines actual duration. Check the appliance display for its current estimate.
Why the time may change: Changing the saved combination changes the duration, water use and cleaning behavior.
Check the full Bosch SHV78B73UC cycle table to compare other programs before starting.
When will it finish?
This variable program depends on the stored cycle, options or sensed load. Use the appliance's current displayed estimate.
Estimated energy and local cost
This range is calculated from the documented cycle characteristics and appliance type. It is deliberately shown as a range because load conditions, temperature selections, sensors and options change consumption.
Planning the Favorite cycle on the SHV78B73UC
Favorite is a model-specific dishwasher program, so its controls and options should be checked against the exact appliance documentation.
On the Bosch SHV78B73UC, watch for incoming water temperature, soil sensing, heat holds and drying options. Run hot water at the sink first when the manual recommends it, and avoid blocking spray paths.
The planning range on this page is 0.65–1.35 kWh; use the ZIP or bill-rate calculator for a local cost estimate. The exact-model reference is linked from bosch-home.com, while estimates are labeled separately.
