Dishwasher Efficiency 3 ps
Hot water dissolves and activates the dlshweshlng detergent.
Hot water also dissolves grease on dishes and helps glasses dry
spot-free. For best dishwashing results, water must be at least
120°F (49°C) as it enters the dishwasher. Loads may not wash as
well if the water temperature is too low.
To check water temperalum
1. Run hot water at the faucet closestto your dishwasherfor at
least I minute.
2. Place a candy or meat thermometerin a glass measoring
cup.
Cycle time includes dry time. An asterisk ( * ) by the cycle time
indicates the cycle time might be longer depending on the
temperature of the water entedng the dishwasher. The cooler the
water, the longer the cycle time. If the water is already hot
enough, the cycle time will be as shown.

during off-psak 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.
