Energy-Saving Dishwashing - Miele PG 8080 Operating Instructions Manual

Caring for the environment

Energy-saving dishwashing

This dishwasher is exceptionally
economical in its use of water and
electricity. You can increase the energy
saving of the machine by following
these tips:
 You can connect the dishwasher to a
hot water supply. This is particularly
suitable with energy-saving water
heating sources such as solar energy
systems. If the water is heated by
electricity and the dishwasher is used
primarily for glassware we would
recommend connection to cold water.
 Make full use of the baskets without
overloading the dishwasher. This
results in the most economical
dishwashing.
 Choose the programme to suit the
type of crockery being washed and
the degree of soiling.
 Select the ECO programme for
energy-saving dishwashing. This
standard programme is the most
efficient in terms of its combined
energy and water consumption at
cleaning normally soiled crockery.
 Follow the detergent manufacturer's
recommendations on detergent
dosage.

 When using powder detergent you
can use 1/3 less detergent if baskets
are only half full.
