Saving Energy

Saving energy is important and helps you save money. This section gives you tips on the best ways to save energy with your dishwasher.

Loading tips

*Wash full loads. Running a half-filled dishwasher uses the same amount of

electricity and hot water as a fully-loaded machine.

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

*Do not prerinse normally soiled dishes. Select the correct cycle for the load and use the recommended amount of

detergent.

Cycle and option tips

*Use the Low Energy/China cycle whenever possible. The cycle uses less hot water and energy than the Normal cycle.

*Run your dishwasher during off-peak hours. Local utilities recommend avoiding heavy usage of energy at certain times of day.

*Do not use the High Temp Wash option if it is not needed. When this option is off,

if water entering the dishwasher is lower than 140°F (60°C), the cycle does not take additional time to heat water during the main wash. In some cases, loads may not dry as well when using the High Temp Wash option.

NOTE: Loads may not wash or dry as well if the water temperature is too low. For best dishwashing results, water must be at least 120°F (49°C) as it enters the dishwasher.

*Use the Air Dry option whenever possible. Allow longer drying times (overnight). Use a rinse agent to improve drying.

To check water temperature:

1.Run the hot water at the faucet closest to your dishwasher. Let the water

run for at least 1 minute.

2. Hold a candy or meat thermometer in

If water temperature at the faucet is below 120°F (49°C),

the running stream of water. have a qualified person raise

the water heater's thermostat

setting.
