Energy-saving dishwashing
This dishwasher is economical in the
use of water and electricity. For best re‐
sults follow these tips:
– For most economical dishwashing,
make full use of the baskets without
overloading the dishwasher.
– Choose a program that best suits the
degree of soiling and the type of
dishes being washed.
– Select the
ECO
program (depending
on model) for energy-saving dish‐
washing. This program is the most ef‐
ficient in terms of its combined ener‐
gy and water consumption at clean‐
ing normally soiled dishware.
– If your dishwasher is connected to a
hot water supply, select the
Energy
Saver
program for washing a lightly to
moderately soiled load. Because the
water is not heated in this program,
dishware may still be slightly damper
at the end of this program than it
would be with other programs.
– Follow the detergent manufacturer's
recommendations on detergent dos‐
age.
– When using powder or liquid deter‐
gent, you can use
1
/
3
less detergent if
baskets are only half full.
You can find additional tips on energy-
saving dishwashing in "Miele's guide
to dishwashing".
