TIPS:

  1. Skip the pre-rinse to save water. The pre-rinsing of dishes before they are put in the dishwasher wastes around 1115 litres per year.
  2. Wait until your dishwasher is full before running it. If you have a large family, it is likely that you will need to run your dishwasher more than twice a day. To ensure the best efficiency, make sure the dishwasher is always full before starting.
  3. Make sure the interior of your dishwashing machine is clean, and that there are no obstructions in the way of the arm sprayer. It will also eliminate the need for multiple dishwasher cycles.
  4. Select the eco-setting to wash your dishes with a lower temperature. You will also use less water.
  5. To ensure that your dishes are always sparkling clean, use a high-quality detergent.
