Greener dishwashing
Save energy and water
When using a dishwasher in a residential setting, less energy and water are generally used compared
to washing the dishes by hand.
Do not rinse under running water
Do not rinse the dishes under running water as this will lead to increased energy and water consumption.
Simply scrape off large food particles before loading the dishwasher.
Choose a green detergent
Read the environmental declaration on the packaging!
Too much detergent, rinse aid and salt can result in less effective dishwashing and also entail greater
environmental impact.
Run a fully loaded dishwasher
Save energy and water by waiting until the dishwasher is full before running a program (see number
of standard place settings). Use the
dishes if there are any unpleasant odours.
Run programs at a lower temperature
If the dishes are only slightly dirty, you can select a program with a low temperature.
Select dishwashing program
This program is suitable for washing normally soiled dishes and is the most effective program in terms
of combined energy and water consumption. This program is used to assess compliance with EU
legislation on ecodesign.
The dishwashing program is designed for an effective wash using as little energy and water as possible.
The program washes at a low temperature for a long time.
Select option
Combi drying
A shorter dishwashing program and better drying results are achieved if you use the
option, which automatically opens the dishwasher door. Wait until the dishwasher indicates that the
program has ended and the dishes have cooled before unloading the dishwasher.
Connect to cold water
Connect the dishwasher to the cold water supply if the building is heated using oil, electricity or gas.
Connect to hot water
Connect the dishwasher to the hot water supply (max. 70 °C) if the building is heated using an
energy-efficient means such as district heating, solar power or geothermal power. Choosing a hot
water connection reduces the dishwasher's energy consumption.
NOTE!
Do not exceed the permitted water supply temperature. Certain materials used in some cookware
cannot withstand high heat. See Fragile dishes in the chapter Loading the dishwasher.
