Energy-saving dishwashing
This dishwasher is exceptionally eco‐
nomical in its use of water and electrici‐
ty.
You can make the most of your appli‐
ance by following these tips:
– For most economical dishwashing,
make full use of the baskets without
overloading the dishwasher.
– Choose the programme to suit the
type of crockery being washed and
the degree of soiling.
– Select the
ECO
programme for ener‐
gy-saving dishwashing. This pro‐
gramme is the most efficient in terms
of its combined energy and water
consumption at cleaning normally
soiled crockery.
– Follow the detergent manufacturer's
recommendations on detergent dos‐
age.
– When using powder or liquid deter‐
gent you can use
1
/
3
less detergent if
baskets are only half full.
– If your household water system is
suitable, this dishwasher can be con‐
nected to a hot water supply for fur‐
ther economies. If the water is heated
by solar panels, for example, this
would be energy efficient.
However, if your water is heated by
electricity, we would recommend
connection to cold water.

saving dishwashing in "Miele's guide
to dishwashing".
