Zeolith drying lets you save energy. Zeolite is a mineral that can store moisture and heat energy and then release them again. During dishwashing heat energy is used to heat up the washing water and dry the mineral. During the drying phase moisture from the interior of the dishwasher is stored in the mineral and heat energy is released. The heat energy is blown out into the interior of the dishwasher with dry air. This speeds up and im- proves drying. Zeolith drying therefore saves a great deal of energy. Tip: To avoid impairing Zeolith drying performance, do not position table- ware parts directly in front of the in- take opening or the blow opening of the Zeolith container.
Do not position heat-sensitive table- ware parts directly in front of the blow opening of the Zeolith container. → "Appliance", Page 14 Environmental protection and saving energy 3.1 Disposing of packaging The packaging materials are environ- mentally compatible and can be re- cycled. ▶ Sort the individual components by type and dispose of them separ- ately. 3.2 Saving energy If you follow these instructions, your appliance will use less electricity and less water.
