Energy-saving dishwashing
This dishwasher is exceptionally eco-
nomical in its use of water and electric-
ity.
You can make the most of your ma-
chine 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 unnec-
essarily increases water and energy
consumption.
- Make full use of the basket capacity
without overloading the dishwasher.
This results in the most economical
dishwashing in terms of energy and
water consumption.
- Choose a program that best suits the
degree of soiling and the type of
dishes being washed (see “Program
overview”).
- Select the
Normal
program for en-
ergy-saving dishwashing. This pro-
gram is the most efficient in terms of
its combined energy and water con-
sumption for cleaning dishware with a
normal level of soiling.
- Follow the detergent manufacturer’s
recommendations on detergent
dosage.
- When using powder or liquid deter-
gent, you can use
1
/
3
less detergent if
baskets are only half full.
- You can connect the dishwasher to a
hot-water supply. A hot water con-
nection is particularly suitable with
energy-saving water heating sources,
such as solar energy with a circula-
tion system.
If the water is heated by electricity,
we would recommend connection to
cold water.
