Environmental protection and saving energy en ▶ So as not to scratch the finish on the appliance, do not use sponges with a rough surface or abrasive cleaning agents. ▶ To prevent corrosion, do not use 3.3 Zeolith drying The appliance features a Zeolith con- tainer. 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 15 sponge cloths on dishwashers with a stainless steel front or rinse such cloths thoroughly several times be- fore using them for the first time.
