How to optimise energy and water use with your dishwasher
Many households are looking for ways to manage their water and energy consumption. Read on for tips on using your dishwasher efficiently.Load your dishwasher correctly
Overcrowding, stacking and wrong placement of dishes can lead to bad cleaning results. Don't waste another wash and get the best results first time by loading your dishwasher correctly.
Top rack: Cups, glasses and bowls, with space being left in between.
Bottom rack: Dishware such as plates, glass dishes and pans.
Skip the sink pre-rinse
Every time we pre-rinse our dishes, we waste water. Simply scrape any food off, and put your dishware straight into your dishwasher. Let your dishwasher do the work for you and save water while doing it.
Select the right programme
Sometimes your dishwasher may not be full but still needs to be run, for example before leaving for a holiday. In this scenario, the Half Load function can be used when fewer dishes need cleaning than a full load.
Start cycles at cheaper times
Did you know that many energy suppliers offer lower electricity rates at selected times?* By scheduling your wash cycle to run during these periods, you may be able to benefit from lower electricity rates. Easily set start and finish times in the Home Connect app.
Keep your dishwasher maintained
Regularly cleaning and descaling your dishwasher keeps it running efficiently and working at its best for longer. See the Cleaning and Descaling guides to show you some simple tips to keep your dishwasher leaving your dishes clean.
