Energy-saving dishwashing
This dishwasher is economical in the
use of water and electricity. For best re‐
sults follow these tips:
– For most economical dishwashing,
make full use of the baskets without
overloading the dishwasher.
– Choose a program that best suits the
degree of soiling and the type of
dishes being washed.
– Select the
Economy
program (de‐
pending on model) for energy-saving
dishwashing. This program is the
most efficient in terms of its com‐
bined energy and water consumption
at cleaning normally soiled dishware.
– 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.
– The dishwasher can be connected to
a hot water supply for further econo‐
mies. If the water is heated by for ex‐
ample, solar panels, this would be
energy efficient.
However, if your water is heated by
electricity we would recommend con‐
nection to cold water.
You can find additional tips on energy-
saving dishwashing in "Miele's guide
to dishwashing".
