Economical dishwashing
This dishwasher is exceptionally eco-
nomical in its use of water and electri-
city.
You can make the most of your appli-
ance by following these tips:
– Washing in a dishwasher generally
uses less water and energy than
washing by hand.
– There is no need to pre-rinse items
under running water, and this unne-
cessarily increases water and energy
consumption.
– For the most economical dishwash-
ing, make full use of the basket capa-
city without overloading the dish-
washer. This results in the most eco-
nomical dishwashing in terms of en-
ergy and water consumption.
– Choose the programme to suit the
type of crockery being washed and
the degree of soiling (see the “Pro-
gramme overview” chapter).
– Select the
ECO
programme for en-
ergy-saving dishwashing. This pro-
gramme is the most efficient in terms
of its combined energy and water
consumption for cleaning dishes with
a normal level of soiling.
– If you have a hot water connection,
choose the
SolarSave
programme
(see “Installation” chapter, “Water in-
let” section). The wash water will not
be heated up during this programme.
– Follow the detergent manufacturer’s
recommendations on detergent
dosage.
– If you are manually dosing the deter-
gent, reduce the amount of detergent
by
1
/
3
when using powder or liquid
detergent if the baskets are only half
full.

saving dishwashing in Miele’s guide to
