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 LOW ENERGY WASH Cycle whenever possible. It uses less hot water and energy than other wash cycles.

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 rinsing.

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

Dishwasher care & cleaning

Exterior - Regular use of a soft damp cloth or sponge and a mild detergent is all that is neces- sary, in most cases, to keep the outside of your dishwasher nice looking and clean. Interior - Hard water minerals may cause a white film to build-up on the inside surfaces, especially just beneath the door area. Wear rubber gloves when cleaning the dishwasher interior. Do not use any type of cleanser other than dishwasher detergent because it may cause foaming or sudsing.
