Use & Care Guide

The dishwasher saves 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 consump-
tion. Simply scrape off large food particles before loading the dishwasher.
Choose a green detergent
Read the environmental declaration on the packaging!
Too much detergent and rinse aid can result in less effective dishwashing and lead to a greater
environmental impact.
Run a fully loaded dishwasher
Save energy and water by waiting until the dishwasher is full before running a program. Use the
Rinse and hold program to rinse the dishes if there are any unpleasant odors.
Run programs at a lower temperature
If the dishes are only lightly soiled, you can select a program with a low temperature.
Select dishwashing program – Eco
This program is the most effective in terms of energy consumption.
Select program mode – Green mode
The dishwasher has different program modes. To save energy and water, use Green mode. (Available
with: Normal , Light)
Open the door a little once the program has finished
Better drying results are achieved if you open the door a little once the program has ended. (If the
dishwasher is built-in, the surrounding furnishings must be resistant to any condensation from the
dishwasher.)
Connect to cold water
Connect the dishwasher to the cold water supply if the building is heated using oil, electricity, or
gas.
Connection to hot water supply
Connect the dishwasher to the hot water supply (max. 160 °F (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 cuts dishwashing times and reduces the dishwasher's energy consumption.
NOTE!
Do not exceed the permitted water supply temperature. Certain materials used in some cookware
cannot withstand strong heat.
