25°C. For all other models the maximum allowed water temperature is 60°C. Do
not cut hoses and, in the case of appliances fitted with a waterstop system,
do not immerse the plastic casing containing the inlet hose in water. If
hoses are not long enough, contact your local dealer. Make sure the inlet and
drain hoses are kink-free and are not crushed. Before using the appliance for

ENERGY SAVING TIPS
ECO program is suitable to clean normally soiled tableware, that for this use, it is the most efficient program in terms of its combined energy and water consumption, and that it is used to assess compliance with the EU Ecodesign legislation. Loading the household dishwasher up to the capacity indicated by the manufacturer will contribute to energy and water savings. The manual 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.
