The model is equipped with a ServoSchloss lock, which allows you to automatically close the door if the opening angle is less than 10°. The color of the machine is black, there is an alert sound and an additional Info Light indicator.
iQ100 SR216W01MR
Compact model with electronic control. Designed for 10 sets, 6 standard cleaning programs have been developed. Freestanding dishwasher, which has the option of an economical or express wash; a delicate washing option has also been developed for glasses and crystal. For heavily soiled dishes, a special mode is provided, as well as VarioSpeed and IntensiveZone functions.
SR64M001
Siemens offers a new built-in machine that allows you to clean up to 9 sets of dishes at the same time.
The compact model provides 4 main programs, including quick wash, as well as “eco” or “auto”. The silver design will look great in a modern kitchen and will fit perfectly into any interior. There is a signal about the end of the washing cycle, a double rocker with DuoPower rotation.
How does Siemens help you save money?
If you wash a batch of dishes by hand, you will need 40 liters of water. The dishwasher needs 8-10 liters for one cycle. Savings are achieved thanks to innovative technologies. One of them is AquaSensor. When you press the corresponding button, the water is checked for purity - the machine itself will adjust the required volume and degree of heating.
All brand modifications are highly energy efficient. The offered models belong to the “A” class - A+, A++ and A+++. Electricity costs are the lowest possible. Power consumption level is within 0.8-1.05 kW.
Water and drain connections
Having figured out how to install and where to place the case, proceed directly to installation. You can play around with the sewer system: there are 2 ways to connect to the drain - through a siphon and directly to the pipe. The first option is usually used, consider its sequence:
- Install a siphon with a side outlet . If you already have a siphon installed for your washing machine with two outlets, use the second outlet for the PMM.
- Ensure the tightness of the threads on the siphon outlet using FUM tape. Wind the “fumka” against the thread.
- Screw the drain hose to the siphon.
Now you can install the inlet hose. Proceed like this:
- Twist the sink faucet intake hose from the pipe.
- Screw the tee valve onto the pipe, making sure to seal the connection.
- Screw the mixer hose onto one end of the tee, onto the other end the Aquastop valve together with the PMM intake hose, and attach its other end to the valve thread on the equipment body. Ready!
Important! The filter element requires cleaning at least twice a year, so if you install a filter, do not forget about it. If the water is hard, with sand and other particles, inspect and clean it every couple of months.
What do the icons mean?
There are many icons on the control panel that represent different options. They indicate different modes and functions. It is enough to familiarize yourself with them once to remember their meaning:
- Saucepan - intensive mode;
- Cup on saucer - automatic mode;
- Glass and cup on a plate - economical cleaning;
- Glass and cup with two arrows pointing to the right - express wash without pre-rinsing;
- Drops - pre-rinse;
- Glass - for fragile products;
- +/- and the letter h - time adjustment;
- Clock - reduces the time of the modes by half;
- Bottle - disinfection of children's dishes;
- Start and Reset - buttons for starting and rebooting.
How to decipher the marking?
Model markings consist of a set of letters and numbers, each of which carries certain information:
- The first letter of the marking is always S (from the word scullery - translated into Russian as “dishwasher”).
- The second character indicates the device type and generation. For example, R - narrow PMMs of the previous generation, B - full-size new generation ones.
- The third character is information about the embedding type. For example, S is a freestanding machine, I is a partially built-in machine, V is a fully built-in machine.
- The fourth character indicates the configuration. From 4 to 6 is the minimum configuration.
- If there is a number 9, it means the machine has increased sound insulation.
Final stage of work
Now all we have to do is connect the power cord to the outlet and put the dishwasher in place. Please note that you can only connect your dishwasher to a separate, moisture-resistant outlet. Do not connect the device through a tee, extension cord or adapter. It will be great if you bring out a copper wire with a cross-section of at least 2 mm for the socket, in good insulation, install a difavtomat and a voltage stabilizer.
Remember! Working with electrical communications requires skill and some knowledge; if you do not have this, do not experiment - it is life-threatening! Contact a specialist.
After connecting the power cord to the outlet, test run the Siemens dishwasher in strict accordance with the instructions, without loading dirty dishes into the appliance. After completing the test program, if the Siemens dishwasher does not generate errors, then you can begin to operate it.
To summarize, we note that installing a Siemens dishwasher yourself is not much more difficult than installing any other dishwasher. The main thing is to remember and take into account the nuances described in this text, and everything will work out as it should!

Evgeniya:
I want to purchase a Siemens SR 64E003 PMM. Please tell me, is it attached to the kitchen façade from the top or the side? Or maybe both?
Answer
Choosing an installation location
The type of dishwasher determines where the equipment will be installed. The built-in model can be installed in furniture (cabinet, niche). A place for it in the custom set is provided in advance. If you want to integrate appliances into a finished kitchen, for example, Ikea, this is quite problematic, but possible. How to install a built-in dishwasher, read the article.
A free-standing PMM can be placed in any free corner. The main thing is to take into account the proximity of communications. The compact model fits perfectly on the table or under the sink. Here's what the craftsmen recommend to consider when installing a Siemens dishwasher:
- The space for the built-in PMM should be 1-2 cm wider than its body. Take your own measurements; the specifications in the instructions are not always accurate.
- Solve floor problems. If the surface is uneven, you need to level it or prepare a special stand. Siemens machines are sensitive to tilts of even a few degrees. For this reason, problems may arise with drainage and water intake.
- Consider fastening the elements and the façade. Install a metal sheet that will protect the countertop from steam. Usually it comes included.
Important! To avoid additional costs of laying sewer pipes, choose a place close to the sink.
Where are Siemens dishwashers assembled?
Dishwashers (DMM) of this brand can be assembled in any of the many countries that host the concern’s factories. Models assembled in German factories are deservedly valued among consumers. Despite the manufacturer’s assurances of quality control, devices assembled in third countries are inferior to their “truly German” counterparts.
About company
The Siemens trademark belongs to the Robert Bosch GmbH concern. The legendary company has 150 years of production of household appliances behind it. The company is engaged in projects in the fields of energy, mechanical engineering and medicine. The production of household appliances for Siemens is akin to a “hobby”, but this does not make its dishwashers and refrigerators cease to be examples of quality and high technology.
Consumers often ask: Bosch or Siemens - which is better? The question makes no sense, since both brands belong to the same concern.
Pros of Siemens PMM 45 cm
When purchasing a Siemens dishwasher, you should know in advance about all the pitfalls and advantages of the equipment. The advantages include the following:
- Easy installation. Can be installed in a kitchen set without handles and open the door with one touch.
- All narrow 45-centimeter machines provide innovative functionality, which we will consider below.
- Ergonomic boxes in which you can wash glasses thanks to special holders. Even large kitchen items - pots and pans - can easily fit into the chambers of narrow Siemens machines. All sliding and customizable elements are colored, so you can easily understand how to properly place dishes in the dishwasher.
- Brilliant washing and drying, literally. Despite the fact that most models use condensation drying, it copes with the task many times better than similar PMMs from other brands. When creating the dryer, German designers used a natural mineral that quickly absorbs moisture, converting it into heat energy.
- The notorious high-quality German assembly - some PMMs, subject to proper connection and operation, work in dozens of parts.
- Cost-effectiveness, which fully compensates for the slightly inflated prices.
Features of Siemens PMM 45 cm
The following characteristics were appreciated by almost all Siemens users:
- The manufacturer equips all the latest models with an inverter motor, which ensures not only performance, but also reliability. Such machines wash dishes 3 times faster than competitive analogues from other brands. An additional plus is that such engines operate silently.
- All PMMs are equipped with instantaneous water heaters. This is a complex of modern hydraulics with preheating for the convenience and efficiency of using equipment.
- Attractive design provides clear lines, elegant style and bright colors.
We select components and parts
SONY DSC
If a standard connection is made, then the components and spare parts included with the device will be enough for you. But experts say that every second installation case is specific, so the problem of a shortage of components arises and some things have to be purchased. So, if the dishwasher inlet hose does not have an Aquastop valve, it will need to be purchased separately.
Important! If you decide to equip the filling system with Aquastop, purchase only the original valve, specially produced for Siemens brand dishwashers. In some cases, valves from PMM Bosch are suitable (these are products of the same concern), but they may not fit some models.
Several factors speak in favor of purchasing original components and parts:
- Reliable connection and operation. With factory parts, the car will last longer, so the overpayment is completely justified.
- Guarantee . If a breakdown occurs and the service center determines that this was due to incorrect connection and, in particular, due to the use of analogues rather than original parts, the company may refuse free warranty repairs. So, if the hose length is not enough for you, do not skimp and take an original element from Siemens, but of greater length.
There are some problems when selecting components and spare parts. The manufacturer refused to standardize parts when developing even similar models, so many hoses have a non-standard diameter or unusual fastening. This is the main drawback of equipment from Siemens; otherwise, these are high-quality and modern dishwashers.
To connect equipment to the water supply and drainage system, you will need the following kit:
- Inlet hose (for drawing water from the water supply).
- Drain hose (for draining waste liquid into the sewer).
- Shut-off valve with several outlets - 2, 3 or 4.
- Gaskets.
- Filters.
- Adapters.
This is a kit for standard connection of dishwashers, which means that other consumables may be needed during operation; this, by the way, can be specified in advance in the user manual for the equipment. What could it be?
- Proper installation also requires a pressure reducing valve . If the pressure in your water pipes exceeds 1 MPa, in order to eliminate possible leaks and other problems, you need a valve that will stabilize the pressure.
- Stabilizer . This item will be needed for a safe connection to the electrical network. The device is simply necessary if periodic power surges are observed in networks. A stabilizer is an excellent investment, because it will protect not only the PMM, but also other equipment in the house from voltage surges.
- Additional hose + tap and filter for connecting the machine to a hot water pipe. All this will be needed if your dishwasher model is capable of drawing hot water from pipes, and the parts to implement this feature are often not included in the kit.
List of main disadvantages
There are not many disadvantages of this model of car, but they do exist, and everyone has the right to evaluate their importance independently.
So, what can cause negativity when using the device:
- Small capacity. But this quality is relative, since the amount of utensils that can fit, which may seem completely insufficient for one family, will be normal for another.
- Insufficiently thought out ergonomics. The salt container is located at the bottom of the machine, so it is not very convenient to pour the product there.
- Irrational alarm. Due to the weak signal at the end of the full working cycle, you can “miss it” and not turn off the machine in a timely manner.
- No child protection feature. A significant drawback that requires the presence of adults during the operation of household appliances.
Another disadvantage of the Siemens SR64E002RU model is its high price. Devices with the same functionality can be found cheaper.
