Therefore CECED manufacturers have been developing a more or less standardized instruction to be inserted in manuals how to save energy and water by means of a proper use of dishwashers. It contains instructions as well as tips concerning correct loading, use of pre-cleaning and proper temperature settings. The washing temperature is another determinant factor regarding energy consumption. Therefore the manufacturers are working intensively to improve the performance of the low temperature cycle and switching the temperature level from 650 C down to 50/550 C for one-temperature dishwashers. When speaking about energy and water saving on dishwashers, it is important to note that there is a strong interdependence between the technology of the washing process and the available and actually used detergents. Based on that knowledge CECED established a close cooperation between manufacturers of dishwashers and manufacturers of detergents. Therefore, energy consumption reduction of dishwashing machines in Europe over the last several years is a success story and is very well verified in each regard.

In fact consumer prices decreased during this period and making machine dishwashing for consumers more affordable today then ever. Some of these new techniques were: improved pump and motor efficiency; electronic control, which allows more sophisticated cleaning processes than before; better filtering elements to remove particles from the water; and actively vented drying processes. In addition, modern dishwashers operate today at a much lower noise level than 1999. 4. Participants Participants to the voluntary agreement on reducing energy consumption of household dishwashers are the following manufacturers:Table 8: List of manufacturers committed to the voluntary agreement 5. Additional measures (“soft targets”) “Hard-targets” as described before result in concrete figures like kWh or percent, or can be expressed into these concrete figures. In contrast to that, “soft-targets” characterize different technical and as well marketing related measures. The implementation of defined “softtargets” will have additional positive aspects on energy consumption of domestic household dishwashers. However, the impact can hardly be quantified. The “soft targets”, as specified in the voluntary commitment, are both aimed at technical improvement and at changing consumer behaviour. Without any doubt all consumers can contribute largely to energy saving and as well to water saving simply by bearing some elementary International Appliance Manufacturing 2007 155
