Energy-saving dishwashing
This dishwasher is exceptionally
economical in its use of water and
electricity.
For best results, follow 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. This would
unnecessarily increase water and
energy consumption.
- Make full use of the baskets 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
dishware being washed (see
“Program overview”).
- Select the
Normal
program for
energy-saving dishwashing. This
program is the most efficient in terms
of its combined energy and water
consumption for cleaning dishware
with a normal level of soiling.
- Follow the detergent manufacturer’s
recommendations on detergent
dosage.
- When using powder or liquid
detergent, 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
connection is particularly suitable
with energy-saving water heating
sources, such as solar energy with a
circulation system.
If the water is heated by electricity,
we would recommend connection to
cold water.
