Loading the dishwasher Energy-efficient dishwashing Run programs only with a full load Wait until the dishwasher is fully loaded before running a program, this way you save energy. Use the Rinse and hold program to rinse the dishes if there are any unpleasant odors while you wait for the dishwasher to become fully loaded. Run programs at a lower temperature If the dishes are only lightly soiled, you can select a program with a low temperature. Select Green mode The dishwasher has different program modes. To save energy and water, use Green mode. 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.) Do not rinse under running water Simply scrape off large food particles before loading the dishwasher. Choose a green detergent Read the environmental declaration on the packaging! 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. Fragile dishes Some cookware is not dishwasher safe. This can be for several reasons. Some materials cannot withstand high temperatures, others can be damaged by dishwasher detergent. Use caution with, for example, handmade items, fragile decoration, crystal/glassware, silver, copper, tin, aluminum, wood, and plastic. Look for the "Dishwasher safe" marking. Fragile decoration Porcelain with decoration on top of the glazing (the items feel rough) should not be washed in a dishwasher. Crystal/Glass Wash fragile items made of crystal/glass, such as crystal glass from Orrefors, using the gentle dishwashing program Crystal glass. Remember to use a small amount of detergent and to place items so that they do not touch each other during the wash. Use rinse aid to improve wash and dry times. Also use rinse aid to achieve clear and spotless results. Hand-painted glassware, as well as antique and very fragile items, should not be washed in a dishwasher. Silver Silver and stainless steel items should not come into contact, as the silver can become discolored. Aluminum Aluminum can lose its shine if washed in a dishwasher. However, good quality aluminum pans can be washed in a dishwasher, even if some of the shine will be lost. Cutlery with glued handles Some types of glue are not dishwasher safe. In such cases, the handles may loosen. Points to consider • All dirty surfaces should face in and down! • Dishes should not be placed in or on each other. • Angle dishes with hollows, such as cups, so that the rinse water will run off. This is also important for plastic items. • Place the upper basket in its highest position when dishwashing very large plates. • Make sure small items cannot fall through the dishwasher basket; place them in the top cutlery tray. NOTE! Check that the spray arms can rotate freely. 6
