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-rinse 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 dishes with
a normal level of soiling.
- If you have a hot water connection,
choose the
SolarSave
programme
(see “Installation – Water inlet”). The
wash water will not be heated up dur-
ing this programme.
- Follow the detergent manufacturer’s
recommendations on detergent
dosage.
- If you are manually dosing the deter-
gent, reduce the amount of detergent
by

when using powder or liquid
detergent if the baskets are only half
full.
