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 and
the gentlest washing of china and
crystal, connect the dishwasher to a
cold water source.
^ For fastest possible wash times, yet
higher energy consumption, connect
the dishwasher to a hot water source.
^ Make full use of the baskets without
overloading for the most economical
washing.
^ Choose a program that best suits the
degree of soiling and the type of
dishes being washed.
^ For small loads:
Select the "Top Solo" feature (see
"Additional features").
^ If baskets are only half full, select the
"Economy" program.
^ Use the correct amounts of detergent
and rinse aid.
