	to the level of soiling, or simply select the autosense program
	function	.	Use the Start/Stop button						to start the programme

Option Buttons

The various wash programs are intended for varying amounts of soiling and crockery, as well as for different types of crockery. You can use the option buttons to adapt the programs to suit different requirements. Doing this can save you time, money, and electricity. For instance:

-Use the High-Speed button to shorten the selected programme if your dishes are only slightly soiled. Selecting this option means, for example, that the dishwasher then uses higher water pressure and consumes approx. 25 % less water and electricity.

-Use the Night button if you would like to wash your dishes at night, whether you want to take advantage of night-time power rates or you simply want to clean dishes first thing in the morning. This lowers the water pressure used, producing less noise and consuming less electricity. You can also use this function if you would like to wash more fragile items.

The following table shows which options are available for each programme. If a particular option is not available for the programme selected, this is indicated in the multifunction display.
