Caring For The Environment - Miele G 307 Operating Instructions Manual

Caring for the environment

Disposal of the packing material
The transport and protective packing
has been selected from materials
which are environmentally friendly for
disposal and can normally be recycled.
Rather than just throwing these ma-
terials away, please ensure they are of-
fered for recycling.
Disposal of your old machine
Old machines contain materials which
can be re-cycled. Please contact your
local authorities or scrap merchant
about potential recycling schemes, be-
fore disposing of the appliance.
Ensure that the machine presents no
danger to children while being stored
for disposal. See the appropriate sec-
tion in the Warning and Safety instruc-
tions.
Caring for the environment
Energy saving washing
These dishwashers are exceptionally ef-
ficient in their use of water and elec-
tricity. You can make the most of your
appliance by following these tips:
If your household water system is
suitable, this dishwasher can be con-
nected to a hot water supply, for fur-
ther economies.
However, if your water is heated by
electricity we would still recommend
connection to cold water.
In the UNIVERSAL 55° programme,
depending on the capacity of the
dishwasher, when connected to hot
water at 55°C up to 0.7 kWh of elec-
trical energy is saved. The hot water
provides this energy, and the ap-
prox. 0.13 l oil or 0.14 m
needed to heat the water might be
considerably more cost effective.
Although all stages of the wash then
take place with hot water, savings
are made in cost, time and energy.
Make full use of the baskets without
overloading the dishwasher for most
economical washing.
Choose the programme to suit the
type of crockery being washed and
the degree of soiling.
If baskets are only half full use the
ECONOMY programme.
Use the correct dosages of deter-
gent.
