Environmental protection and saving energy
15
In order to use the newly purchased appliance in an environmentally friendly and energy-
saving manner, observe the information in this chapter.
15.1 Disposal of the packaging materials in an environmentally safe manner
Sort packaging materials before disposal.
Paper and cardboard with the waste paper and plastic film in the recycled
materials bin.
15.2 Saving energy and water
Observance of the following instructions has a positive influence on energy and water
consumption and the service life of the appliance. Customer service calls can also be
avoided.
•
Load the dishwasher up to the specified capacity and follow the loading
instructions. This saves energy and water.
•
Remove food residues and other foreign material before loading, e.g. with cutlery,
as these can make cleaning more difficult and (partially) clog filters. Foreign bodies
can enter the water-bearing system, especially if filters are not inserted correctly
or if the system is operated without filters. These can, for example, clog spray
arms or block the pumps. Improper use can lead to customer service work that is
subject to a charge.
•
In particular, remove greasy food residues before loading to reduce clogging in the
water-bearing system.
•
Manual pre-washing of the dishes, e.g. under running water, is not recommended.
It leads to higher water and energy consumption.
•
Select a suitable programme depending on the crockery and soiling. Observe
information on energy and water consumption, duration and temperatures.
•
Correctly dose the detergent and rinsing agent and check the water softener
setting.
•
Cleaning dishes in a dishwasher generally uses less energy and water than
washing by hand. This applies provided you follow the instructions in the
instruction manual.
•
Follow the cleaning and care instructions. (see chapter 6 "Cleaning and
maintenance")
