Energy-Saving Tips
Operate dishwasher only when it's full. Let the
dishes accumulate in dishwasher. When you put in
only a partial load, use the RINSE & HOLD cycle to
rinse off heavy soils. Be sure to latch the door when
waiting for a full load. This helps keep soils moist,
easier to remove.
If you don't need your dishes right away, use your
ENERGY SAVER no-heat boost drying feature
that turns the drying heater off automatically. Dishes
dry naturally over a longer period such as overnight.
Good Dishwashing Starts with HOT Water
To get dishes clean and dry, you need hot water. To help you get water of the
proper temperature, your dishwasher has a WATER HEAT BOOST feature.
When selected (see Operating section), this water heating feature allows you
to turn down your household water heater and save energy if you're willing to
let the dishwasher run a little longer while it heats water. For good washing
and drying, the entering water must be between 120°F. and 140°F. To prevent
dish damage, inlet water shodd not exceed 150°F.
