Eco mode is an energy-saving program offered across every new dishwasher that allows the appliance to maximise efficiency. While the function has become widely available across different products, it might not be so clear how it works, so below we've compiled some interesting facts and information about the economical program.
Does eco mode on dishwasher save electricity?
Good question. The answer is actually quite simple - with the longer wash-cycle, the water doesn't require heating up as much when compared to shorter programs. This allows the appliance to use less energy when compared to the auto program, for example.
Should you make Eco mode your program of choice?
Eco mode is the perfect choice if you are looking to minimise your energy consumption. The numbers speak for themselves. However, for sparkling results for your dishes and the environment, you should select the program according to the load and how dirty the dishes are. Our Auto-programs (depending on model types) and some other special programs measure these factors by themselves and automatically set the optimum settings for energy and water consumption. To ensure that these measurements are accurate, it is essential that you use hot water program or the machine care program regularly to prevent the dishwasher becoming contaminated with residues or bacteria.
