HINTS AND TIPS
GENERAL
Follow the hints below to ensure optimal cleaning
and drying results in daily use and to protect the
environment.
• Washing dishes in the dishwasher as instructed
in the user manual usually consumes less water
and energy than washing dishes by hand.
• Load the dishwasher to its full capacity to save
water and energy. For best cleaning results,
arrange items in the baskets as instructed in the

the water and energy consumption. When
needed, select a programme with a prewash
phase.
