Environmental protection and saving energy

Environmental protection and saving energy
Help protect the environment by using
your appliance in a way that conserves
resources and by disposing of reusable
materials properly.

Disposing of packaging

The packaging materials are environ-
mentally compatible and can be re-
cycled.
Sort the individual components by
●
type and dispose of them separately.
Information about current disposal
methods is available from IKEA or
your local authority.

Saving energy

If you follow these instructions, your ap-
pliance will use less electricity and less
water.
Use the Eco 50° programme.
The Eco 50° programme is energy ef-
ficient and environmentally friendly.
If you do not have much tableware to
wash, use the additional Half Load
function.
The programme will adjust to a
lower load and consumption will be
reduced.
So as not to scratch the finish on
●
the appliance, do not use sponges
with a rough surface or abrasive
cleaning agents.
To prevent corrosion, do not use
●
sponge cloths on dishwashers
with a stainless steel front or rinse
such cloths thoroughly several
times before using them for the
first time.
Change the sensor setting to the de-
fault.
Consumption is reduced.
Drying automatically helps to save en-
ergy.

Drying

The appliance is equipped with a con-
tainer which has a mineral inside. This
mineral can store moisture and heat en-
ergy and then release them again. Such
drying lets you save energy.
During dishwashing heat energy is used
to heat up the washing water and dry
the mineral.
During the drying phase moisture from
the interior of the dishwasher is stored
in the mineral and heat energy is re-
leased. The heat energy is blown out
into the interior of the dishwasher with
dry air. This speeds up and improves
drying.
This drying method saves a great deal
of energy.
