adding less detergent
to the detergent dis-
penser than for a full
machine load.

¡

The run time is
shortened.

¡

Energy and water con-
sumption are reduced.

IntensiveZone

¡

Switch on with mixed
loads containing table-
ware with different soil-
ing levels, e.g. place
very soiled pots and
pans in the bottom bas-
ket and normally soiled
tableware in the upper
basket.

The spray pressure in
the bottom basket is in-
creased and the max-
imum programme tem-
perature held longer.
