4. If the water temperature at the faucet is below 120°F (49°C),
have a qualified person raise the water heater's thermostat
setting.
To save water, energy and time, do not rinse dishes before
putting them into the dishwasher.
Use a low energy, quick, or short cycle whenever possible.
These cycles use less hot water and energy than the Normal
cycle.
Use a delay feature to run your dishwasher during off-peak
hours. Local utilities recommend avoiding heavy usage of
energy at certain times of day.
During the summer, run your dishwasher at night. This
reduces daytime heat buildup in the kitchen.
Use an air dry, or an energy-saving dry option whenever
possible. Allow longer drying times (overnight) when using
these options. Use a rinse aid to improve drying.
Use cycles or options that add extra heat to the wash or rinse
portion of the cycle only when needed.
Run your dishwasher with full loads. Run a rinse cycle after
meals until the dishwasher is full.

set the Cycle Control knob with the door unlatched.
