8.7. General information and tips on
energy saving
Only use dishwasher-safe dishes and cutlery. Look for
markings such as "Dishwasher safe" or "Suitable for
dishwashers" when purchasing dishes.
Use mild detergent that is also suitable for sensitive
dishes.
Remove larger food residues from the crockery and
soak dried food residues (such as dried egg or spin-
ach). However, it is not necessary to rinse the dishes
under running water before the wash cycle. Pre-rinsing
dishes increases water and energy consumption and is
not recommended.

To prevent damage to glass or cutlery, do not remove
these from the dishwasher directly after the wash
program has finished. Allow the dishes to cool down
slightly first.
Arrange hollow objects such as cups, glasses, pans etc.
with the opening downwards, so that water cannot
collect inside.
Dishes must not be put inside each other or cover an-
other dish.
Place large dishes on the dish rack (6).
To save energy and water it is best to run a cycle when
your dishwasher is full.
To achieve good washing results, avoid overfilling the
dishwasher.
Washing dishes in a dishwasher usually uses less en-
ergy and water than washing them by hand, provided
the dishwasher is used according to the user manual.
Select a program that is suitable for the type of dishes
and the degree of soiling.
Reduce the amount of detergent if the dish racks are
only half full.
