have finished using it. £1 billion worth of energy is wasted in the
UK every year by people leaving appliances on standby.
o You do not need to rinse dishes off before loading. If you prefer
to pre-rinse, use cold water on your dishes before loading them
but do not waste water by letting it run continuously.
o Use the shorter and lower temperature cycles for everything but
the dirtiest dishes. Shorter cycles use less energy and work just
as well. Modern detergents also work just as well at lower
temperatures.
