Saving energy using your dishwasher
Loading dishes
o
Refer to the relevant section of this manual for instructions on
placing items in the dishwasher for the most efficient cleaning.
o
Only run the dishwasher when it is full for optimum energy and
water usage.
o
Check the program table to select the most efficient program
according to the size and type of the load.
o
The ECONOMY program washes your items at a lower temperature
and uses less water during the cycle. That is better for the
environment and helps to cut energy costs as well as your water bill
if you’re on a water meter.
Usage
o
Clean the filters regularly both to keep the dishwasher clean and to
maintain its efficiency.
o
Always remember to switch the appliance off standby when you
have finished using it. £1 billion worth of energy is wasted in the UK
every year by people leaving appliances on standby.
o
You do not need to rinse dishes off before loading. If you prefer to
pre-rinse, use cold water on your dishes before loading them but do
not waste water by letting it run continuously.
o
Use the shorter and lower temperature cycles for everything but the
dirtiest dishes. Shorter cycles use less energy and work just as well.
Modern detergents also work just as well at lower temperatures.
