EcoStart
In order to run your dishwasher in the
most economical way, you can use the
EcoStart
option to take advantage of
your electricity supplier's time variable
rates (see "Options - Delay start with
EcoStart - EcoStart").
With this option selected, your dish‐
washer will start automatically at your
electricity supplier's cheapest rate
times.
To use this function, you must first set
up to three electricity rate time zones in
which the dishwasher can start. You
can allocate different priorities to these
time zones. The time with the cheapest
electricity rate will be given Priority 1.
Contact your electric supplier to find
out the times of the cheapest electricity
rates.
Once the electricity rate times have
been set, you can use the
EcoStart
op‐
tion to set the latest finish time required
for each program.
The dishwasher will then start automati‐
cally in the cheapest electricity rate
time and the program will end at the lat‐
est at the finish time set.
