Caring for the environment
Disposal of the packing
material
The transport and protective packing
has been selected from materials
which are environmentally friendly for
disposal and can normally be recycled.
Rather than just throwing these ma-
terials away, please ensure they are of-
fered for recycling.
Disposal of your old appliance
Old appliances contain materials which
can be recycled. Please contact your
local authorities or scrap merchant
about potential recycling schemes, be-
fore disposing of the appliance.
Ensure that the appliance presents no
danger to children while being stored
for disposal. See the appropriate sec-
tion in the Warning and Safety instruc-
tions.
Energy saving washing
This dishwasher is exceptionally econ-
omical in its use of water and electricity.
You can make the most of your ap-
pliance by following these tips:
If your household water system is
suitable, this dishwasher can be con-
nected to a hot water supply, for fur-
ther economies.
Although all stages of the wash then
take place with hot water, savings are
made in:
– the use of primary energy
– costs
– programme running time.
If, however, your water is heated by
electricity we would still recommend
connection to cold water.
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.
The “Top Solo” function should only be
selected for washing very small loads
of crockery (see “Additional options”).
Select the Economy 45ºC pro-
gramme for energy-saving dishwash-
ing.
Use the correct amounts of deter-
gent.
Use only 2/3 of the given dosage if
baskets are only half full.
