ENERGY SAVING TIPS
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 user manual and do not overload the baskets.
Do not pre-rinse dishes by hand. It increases the water and energy consumption. When needed, select a programme with a prewash phase. Remove larger residues of food from the dishes and empty cups and glasses before putting them inside the appliance. Soak or slightly scour cookware with firmly cooked-on or baked-on food before washing it in the appliance.
Make sure that items in the baskets do not touch or cover each other. Only then can the water completely reach and wash the dishes.
Select a programme according to the type of load and the degree of soil. ECO offers the most efficient use of water and energy consumption.
