AUTOMATIC
WATER
HEATING
Your KitchenAid dishwasher offers
automatic water heating. An incom-
ing water temperature of 120°F is
recommended at the dishwasher
for best washing results.
To Check Your Water
Temperature
For best dishwashing results, water
should be at least 120°F (49°C) as
it enters the dishwasher. To check
the temperature, use the faucet
closest to your dishwasher.
1. Set the faucet control for the hot-
test water possible. Run water
into a glass set in the sink for at
least one minute, allowing it to
overflow.
2. Place a candy or meat thermom-
eter in the glass and read it at
the maximum setting.
3. If the temperature is too low,
raise the setting on your water
heater.
ENERGY
SAVING TIPS
Power to Spare...
e Use the ENERGY SAVER—NO
HEAT DRY option whenever pos-
sible. If you don't need your
dishes right away, it pays to air
dry them.
e Flash dry dishes. After final rinse,
unlatch door and advance Cycle
Selection Dial to Pots/Pans
Cycle; open door and pull out
racks. Because of the heat
buildup in dishware during the
wash cycle, water evaporates
quickly from the dishware.
NOTE: In hard water areas, flash
drying can increase the likelihood
of spotting and filming.
¢ Turn the temperature setting on
your home water heater down to
provide a minimum of 120°F
(49°C) incoming water to the
dishwasher.
e Run the dishwasher only with a
full load.
e Do not rinse dishware before
loading.
e Use only the cycle and options
that you need.
e Run the dishwasher at night dur-
ing the summer to avoid daytime
heat load.
