Greener Dishwashing; The Dishwasher Saves Energy And Water - Pelgrim GVW321L Gebrauchsanweisung

Greener dishwashing

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 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).
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 Auto open
Better drying results are achieved if you use the Auto open 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. (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. 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.
