your electricity supplier's time variable rates (see "Options - FlexiTimer with EcoStart"). With this option selected, your dish‐ washer will start automatically at your electricity supplier's cheapest rate times.

To use this option, you must first set up t

Contact your electric supplier to find out the times of the cheapest electricity r
