Set your home water heater to provide a
minimum of 120°F (49°C) incoming water to
the dishwasher.
1. Run hot water at the faucet closest to your
dishwasher. Set a cup under the faucet,
and place a candy or meat thermometer
in it.
2. Run hot water for at least one minute into
the cup, allowing the water to
overflow. Check the tempera-
ture. If the water temperature
is below 120°F (49°C), have
a qualified person raise the
thermostat setting on your water heater.
,, Run the dishwasher only with a full load.
,, Use only the cycle and options that you need.
,, Run the dishwasher during off-peak hours
if your utility company offers reduced rates
on electricity during specific times of day.
,, Run the dishwasher at night during the
summer to reduce daytime heat buildup
in your home.
,, Do not rinse dishes before loading.
,, Use the Energy Saver Dry option.
