Dishwasher Efficiency Tips

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 and energy, 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 to reduce daytime heat buildup.

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.

Cycle Selection Chart

Select the wash cycle and options desired. Or press START to use 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 “●” shows what steps are in each cycle.

Temperatures indicate where extra heat is added.

Water usage is shown in U.S. gallons/liters.

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.
