The Bosch SPS40E12EU dishwasher offers several additional options that can be set using the buttons on the dishwasher. Here is a summary of these options and how they affect the running time, water and energy consumption, and drying results: 1. Express Wash/Speed Perfect (VarioSpeed): This option reduces the running time by approximately 20% to 50% depending on the selected rinse program. However, to achieve optimum cleaning and drying results at a reduced running time, water and energy consumption are increased. 2. Intensive zone: This option is perfect for a mixed load. It allows you to wash very soiled pots and pans in the lower basket together with normally soiled utensils in the upper basket. The spray pressure in the lower basket is intensified, and the rinsing temperature is slightly increased. 3. Hygiene: By selecting this option, the temperature is increased during the cleaning process, resulting in improved hygiene. This option is ideal for cleaning items such as chopping boards and baby bottles. 4. Half load: If you have only a few items to wash, such as glasses, cups, or plates, you can switch to the "half load" option. This helps save water, energy, and time. It is recommended to use a little less detergent than for a full load. 5. Extra drying: This option provides an increased temperature during the final rinse and an extended drying phase, ensuring better drying results, especially for plastic parts. Please note that there is a slight increase in energy consumption when using this option.
