"A blanket of insulation is not required for a dishwasher,

and many models do not include one. The main purpose of one is noise insulation, and if a dishwasher is too loud you can often add one to quiet things down so long as it doesn't block any vents/absorb moisture. The presence of an insulation blanket is often the only actual difference between a "Low Decibel" model and a more basic one, so sometimes you can save a decent amount of money by buying a louder basic model and creating your own blanket out of inexpensive insulation.If you would like me to check if your specific model was supposed to come with one, I should be able to look that up if you have the model number. If it was supposed to and did not, Bosch should provide a replacement for that."
