Caring for the environment Disposal of the packing material The cardboard box and packing materials protect the appliance during shipping. They have been designed to be biodegradable and recyclable. Ensure that any plastic wrappings, bags, etc. are disposed of safely and kept out of the reach of children. Danger of suffocation! Disposal of your old appliance Electrical and electronic appliances contain valuable materials. They also contain certain substances, compounds and components which were essential for the proper functioning and safe use of the equipment. Handling these materials improperly by disposing of them in your household waste can be harmful to your health and the environment. Therefore, please do not dispose of your old appliance with regular household waste and follow local regulations on proper disposal. Consult with local authorities, dealers or Miele in order to dispose of and recycle electrical and electronic appliances. Miele assumes no responsibility for deleting any personal data left on the appliance being disposed. Please ensure that your old appliance is kept away from children until removal. Observe safety requirements for appliances that may tip over or pose an entrapment hazard. Energy-saving dishwashing This dishwasher is economical in the use of water and electricity. For best results follow these tips: - For most economical dishwashing, make full use of the baskets without overloading the dishwasher. - Choose a program that best suits the degree of soiling and the type of dishes being washed. - Select the Economy program (depending on model) for energy-saving dishwashing. This program is the most efficient in terms of its combined energy and water consumption at cleaning normally soiled dishware. - Follow the detergent manufacturer's recommendations on detergent dosage. - When using powder or liquid detergent, you can use 1/3 less detergent if baskets are only half full. - The dishwasher can be connected to a hot water supply for further economies. If the water is heated by for example, solar panels, this would be energy efficient. However, if your water is heated by electricity we would recommend connection to cold water. You can find additional tips on energysaving dishwashing in "Miele's guide to dishwashing". 16

Disposal of the packing mate-
rial
The cardboard box and packing materi-
als protect the appliance during ship-
ping. They have been designed to be
biodegradable and recyclable.
Ensure that any plastic wrappings,
bags, etc. are disposed of safely and
kept out of the reach of children. Dan-
ger of suffocation!
Disposal of your old appliance
Electrical and electronic appliances
contain valuable materials. They also
contain certain substances, compounds
and components which were essential
for the proper functioning and safe use
of the equipment. Handling these mate-
rials improperly by disposing of them in
your household waste can be harmful to
your health and the environment. There-
fore, please do not dispose of your old
appliance with regular household waste
and follow local regulations on proper
disposal.
Consult with local authorities, dealers or
Miele in order to dispose of and recycle
electrical and electronic appliances.
Miele assumes no responsibility for
deleting any personal data left on the
appliance being disposed. Please en-
sure that your old appliance is kept
away from children until removal. Ob-
serve safety requirements for appli-
ances that may tip over or pose an en-
trapment hazard.
Energy-saving dishwashing
This dishwasher is economical in the
use of water and electricity. For best re-
sults follow these tips:
For most economical dishwashing,
make full use of the baskets without
overloading the dishwasher.
Choose a program that best suits the
degree of soiling and the type of
dishes being washed.
Select the
Economy
program (de-
pending on model) for energy-saving
dishwashing. This program is the
most efficient in terms of its com-
bined energy and water consumption
at cleaning normally soiled dishware.
Follow the detergent manufacturer's
recommendations on detergent
dosage.
When using powder or liquid deter-
gent, you can use
1
/
3
less detergent if
baskets are only half full.
The dishwasher can be connected to
a hot water supply for further
economies. If the water is heated by
for example, solar panels, this would
be energy efficient.
However, if your water is heated by
electricity we would recommend con-
nection to cold water.

saving dishwashing in “Miele's guide
