Energy-saving dishwashing
This dishwasher is exceptionally
economical in its use of water and
electricity.
You can make the most of your
appliance by following these tips:
– 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.
– Select the ECO programme for
energy-saving dishwashing. This
programme is the most efficient in
terms of its combined energy and
water consumption at cleaning
normally soiled crockery.
– If your dishwasher is connected to a
hot water supply, select the SolarSave
programme for washing a lightly to
moderately soiled load. Because the
water is not heated in this
programme, crockery may still be
slightly damper at the end of this
programme than it would be with
other programmes.
– Follow the detergent manufacturer's
recommendations on detergent
dosage.
– When using powder or liquid
detergent you can use
1
/
3
less
detergent if baskets are only half full.

saving dishwashing in "Miele's guide
to dishwashing".
