What's New in Your Dishwasher

Energy
Congratulations on purchasing your water and energy efficient dishwasher! This dishwasher cleans
by spraying the dishes with water and pauses to allow the detergent to soak into and release the
soils on the dishes. The cycles are longer due to the soak and pauses for exceptional cleaning. Your
dishwasher contains an optical water sensor. The optical water sensor is used to determine the
optimum water and energy consumption for great cleaning performance. Efficient dishwashers run
longer to save water and energy, just as driving a car slower saves on gas. The first cycle using the
sensor will run longer to calibrate the optical sensor.
Performance
Rinse Aid
Using rinse aid will optimize your drying and wash performance.
This dishwasher is specifically designed to be used with rinse aid
for improved drying performance and controlling buildup of hard
water deposits. Energy efficient dishwashers use less water and
energy, so they depend on the water "sheeting" action of rinse
aid for total optimal performance.
Detergent
The United States and Canada have passed regulations limiting
the amount of phosphorus (phosphates) in the household
dishwasher detergents to no more than 0.5%, where previous
detergents contained 8.7%. Major manufacturers have
reformulated their dishwasher detergent for this change in
detergents as another step in eco-conscious awareness. With
these changes, we recommend quality tablets and packs for
convenience and improved performance.
Filtration System
Your dishwasher has the latest technology in dishwasher
filtration. This triple filtration system minimizes sound and
optimizes water and energy conservation while providing optimal
cleaning performance. Maintenance of your filters regularly will
sustain peak cleaning performance. We suggest you clean both
your upper and lower filters and rinse under running water at
least once a month.
