Saving energy and respecting the environment

Saving water and energy

•Only begin a wash cycle when the dishwasher is full. While waiting for the dishwasher to be filled, prevent unpleasant odours using the Soak cycle (see Wash cycles).

•Select a wash cycle that is suited to the type of crockery and to the soil level of the crockery using the Table of wash cycles:

-for dishes with a normal soil level use the Eco wash cycle, which ensures low energy/water consumption levels.

-If the load is smaller than usual activate the Half Load option* (see Start-up and use).

•If your electricity supply contract gives details of electricity-saving time bands, run wash cycles when electricity prices are lower. The Delayed Start button * (see Start-up and use) helps you organise the wash cycles accordingly.

*Only available in selected models.
