Water temperature tips

Hot water dissolves and activates the dishwashing detergent. Hot water also dissolves grease on dishes and helps dry glasses spot-free.

For best dishwashing results, water must be at least 120°F (49°C) as it enters the dishwasher. The dishwasher will automati- cally heat the water to help washing performance.

To check water temperature

1.Run hot water at the faucet closest to your dishwasher. Let the water run for at least one minute.

2.Measure the water temperature with a candy or meat thermometer. Put the thermometer in the running stream

of water.

3.If the water temperature at the faucet is below 120°F (49°C) have a qualified person raise the water heater’s thermo- stat setting.

Energy saving tips

You can help save energy if you:

l Wash full loads. Running a half-filled dishwasher uses the same amount of electriciiy and hot water as a fully loaded machine.

l If your model has the Light Wash Cycle, use it whenever possible. The cycle uses less hot water and energy than the Normal Wash Cycle.

l Use the Energy Saver option when you don’t need a rapid drying cycle. Allow longer drying times (overnight). Use a rinse agent to improve drying.

. Use the Low-Energy Washing option, if available. The water heating in the main wash and final rinse will be reduced.

NOTE: Loads may not wash as well if the water temperature is too low.

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

the load.

l 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.

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