" Do not prerinse normally soiled dishes.
Select the correct cycle for the load
and use the recommended amount of
detergent.
• If your model has the Light Wash cycle,
use it whenever possible. The cycle uses
less hot water and energy than the
Normal Wash cycle.
• Run your dishwasher during off-peak hours.
Local utilities recommend avoiding heavy
usage of energy at certain times of day.
,, Use the Air Dry option whenever possible.
Allow longer drying times (overnight). Use
a rinse agent to improve drying.
• Loads may not wash or dry as well if the
water temperature is too low. For best
dishwashing results, water must be at least
120°F (49°C) as it enters the dishwasher.
To check water temperature:
1. Run the hot water at the faucet closest to
your dishwasher. Let the water
run for at least 1 minute.
2. Hold a candy or meat thermometer in the
running stream of water. If the
water temperature at the faucet
is below 120°F (49°C), have a
qualified person raise the water
heater's thermostat setting.
