Run programs only with a full load
Wait until the dishwasher is fully loaded before running
a program, this way you save energy. Use the Rinse
& Hold program to rinse the dishes if there are any
unpleasant odors while you wait for the dishwasher
to become fully loaded.
Run programs at a lower
temperature
If the dishes are only lightly soiled, you can select a
lower temperature with certain programs. See also
the section Select options in the chapter Dishwashing.
Select a program with Short dry
To save energy, use Short dry. The drying result will
be better if, once the program is finished, you leave
the door slightly open.
Do not rinse under running water
Simply scrape off large food particles before loading
the dishwasher.
Choose a green detergent
Read the environmental declaration on the packaging!
Connect to cold water...
If you use oil or electricity to heat your home.
Connect to hot water (max. 160 °F
(70 °C))...
If you use district heating, solar power, or geothermal
power to heat your home. Choosing a hot water
connection cuts program times and reduces the
dishwasher's electricity consumption.
