Energy saving tips

You can help save energy if you:

1. Wash full loads. Running a half-filled dish- washer uses the same amount of electricity and hot water as a fully loaded machine.

2. Use the Light Wash Cycle for moderately soiled loads. It uses less hot water and energy than the Normal Wash Cycle.

3. Air dry dishes when you don’t need a rapid drying cycle. Allow longer drying times (overnight).

4. Load correctly for best washing results. Incorrect loading may cause poor washing and the need to rewash all or part of the load.

5. Do not pre-rinse normally soiled dishes. Select the correct cycle for the load and use the recommended amount of detergent for good washing results without hand nnsing.

6. Use your dishwasher during off-peak hours. Local utilities recommend this to avoid heavy usage of energy at certain times of day.
