Use the Eco Program According to the Manual and Load

By the Maurvia team · October 11, 2026 · 1 min read · Home

The dishwasher's eco program usually takes the longest, which is why many people avoid it. But this duration has an explanation: it's designed to use less energy by washing at a lower temperature for a longer period.

When to Use It

It's suitable for everyday dishes with normal soil. For very dirty dishes or those with burnt-on residue, the manual may recommend another program.

For It to Work Well

  • Full Load: Run the dishwasher when it's full, without overloading it.
  • Properly Loaded: Follow the loading diagram in the manual so that water reaches everything.
  • No Large Food Scraps: Remove them with a spatula or paper; there's no need to rinse with water.
  • Appropriate Detergent: Follow the dosage indicated by the manufacturer.

Basic Maintenance

  • Clean the filter as indicated in the manual.
  • Check that the spray arms don't have residue blocking the holes.
  • Check the salt and rinse aid levels if your model uses them.

If You Want to Schedule It

Many dishwashers allow you to delay the start. Consult the manual to see how to do this on your model.

A Simple Adjustment

Using the appropriate program is a simple adjustment to observe your household habits with Maurvia.
