Caring for the environment

Energy saving washing

This dishwasher is exceptionally economical in the use of water and electricity. For best results follow these tips:

￿For lowest energy consumption you may connect the dishwasher to a cold water source.

￿For fastest possible wash times, with slightly higher energy consumption, connect the dishwasher to a hot water source.

￿Make full use of the baskets without overloading for the most economical washing.

￿Use the correct amount of detergent and rinse aid. Detergent dosage is dependent upon the amount of soiling and type of dishware being washed. See the "Program Guide" for more information.

￿When using powder or gel detergent, reduce the amount to 2/3 of the normal amount when washing a small load.

￿Choose a program that best suits the degree of soiling and the type of dishes being washed.
