Saving energy using your dishwasher
Loading dishes
oRefer to the relevant section of this manual for instructions on placing items in the dishwasher for the most efficient cleaning.
oOnly run the dishwasher when it is full for optimum energy and water usage. Or use the half load option for smaller loads.
oCheck the program table to select the most efficient program according to the size and type of the load.
o The ECONOMY program washes your items at a lower temperature and uses less water during the cycle. That is better for the environment and helps to cut energy costs as well as your water bill if you’re on a water meter.
Usage
oClean the filters regularly both to keep the dishwasher clean and to maintain its efficiency.
oAlways remember to switch the appliance off standby when you have finished using it. £1 billion worth of energy is wasted in the UK every year by people leaving appliances on standby.
oYou do not need to rinse dishes off before loading. If you prefer to
oUse the shorter and lower temperature cycles for everything but the dirtiest dishes. Shorter cycles use less energy and work just as well. Modern detergents also work just as well at lower temperatures.
