ADDITIONAL TIPS

Expect longer wash times. Your new dishwasher will average 2-5
hours per load but use nearly 40% less energy than older models.
Designed with a low wattage, low energy consumption motor,
your dishwasher washes longer to ensure exceptional cleaning.
Certain models are equipped with an optical water sensor, so
the first cycle will run longer to calibrate to the optical sensor.
Selecting certain options could increase cycle time past 3.5 hours.
Rinse aid is necessary for good drying results. This dishwasher
is designed to be used with rinse aid for good drying performance
and controlling hard water deposit buildup. Energy efficient
dishwashers use less water and energy, so they depend on the
water sheeting action of rinse aid for good drying performance.
