Energy Saving Tips

• The ECO program is suitable to clean normally soiled tableware and is the most efficient program in terms of combined energy and water consumption for this use. It is used to assess compliance with EU Ecodesign legislation.
• Loading the household dishwasher up to the capacity indicated by the manufacturer will contribute to energy and water savings.
• Manual pre-rinsing of tableware items leads to increased water and energy consumption and is not recommended.
• Washing tableware in a household dishwasher usually consumes less energy and water in the use phase than hand dishwashing when the household dishwasher is used according to the manufacturer's instructions.
