Economical dishwashing
This dishwasher is exceptionally eco-
nomical in its use of water and electri-
city.
You can make the most of your appli-
ance by following these tips:
- Washing in a dishwasher generally
uses less water and energy than
washing by hand.
- There is no need to pre-wash items
under running water, and this unne-
cessarily increases water and energy
consumption.
- For the most economical dishwash-
ing, make full use of the basket capa-
city without overloading the dish-
washer. This results in the most eco-
nomical dishwashing in terms of en-
ergy and water consumption.
- Choose the programme to suit the
type of crockery being washed and
the degree of soiling (see “Pro-
gramme overview”).
- Select the ECO programme for en-
ergy-saving dishwashing. This pro-
gramme is the most efficient in terms
of its combined energy and water
consumption for cleaning crockery
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
the 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.
