Dishwasher
Efficiency lqps
Hot water dissolves and activates the dishwashing
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 temperature
1.
Run hot water at the faucet closest to your dishwasher
for at
least 1 minute.
2.
Place a candy or meat thermometer in a glass measuring
cup.
3. Check the temperature
on the thermometer
as the water is
running into the cup.
4.
If the water temperature
at the faucet is below 120°F (49°C),
have a qualified person raise the water heater's thermostat
setting.
•
To save water, energy and time, do not rinse dishes before
putting them into the dishwasher.
•
Use the Normal cycle whenever possible. This cycle uses
less hot water and energy than other cycles.
Use a delay feature (on some models) to run your dishwasher
during off-peak 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.
Use an air dry, or an energy-saving
dry option whenever
possible. Allow longer drying times (overnight) when using
these options. Use a rinse aid to improve drying.
Use cycles or options that add extra heat to the wash or rinse
portion of the cycle only when needed.
Run your dishwasher
with full loads. Run a rinse cycle after
meals until the dishwasher is full.
Select the wash cycle and options desired. Or press START to
repeat the same cycle and options as the previous cycle.
NOTE: If the last cycle you completed was a rinse cycle, the
dishwasher will run the last full wash cycle and options that you
selected when you press Start.
•
If the power is off or the door is open for an extended period
of time, the Start button memory will default to the Normal
cycle with heated drying.
•
If you do not run the dishwasher
daily, close the door to
maintain memory.
A "Q" shows what steps are in each cycle.
Temperatures indicate where extra heat is added.
Water usage is shown in U.S. gallons/liters.
This model meets the ENERGY STAR®guidelines for energy
efficiency.
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 entering 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.
Heavy
Use this cycle for heavily-
soiled pots, pans,
casseroles, regular
tableware, and harder than
normal water condi{ions.
