• The ECO programme is suitable to clean normally soiled
tableware, it is the most efficient programme in terms of
its combined energy and water consumption, and that it
is used to assess compliance with the EU ecodesign
legislation
• Loading the dishwasher up to the capacity indicated by
the manufacturer (2 Place Settings) will contribute to
energy and water savings and information on correct
loading of tableware and main consequences of
incorrect loading will result in lower efficiency
• Pre-rinsing of tableware items leads to increased water
and energy consumption and is not recommended
• Washing tableware in a household dishwasher usually
consumes less energy and water in the use phase than
hand dishwashing when the household dishwasher is
used according to the manufacturer’s instructions
