Hot water is a must

Hot water dissolves and activates the dishwashing detergent. Hot water dissolves grease on dishes and helps dry glasses spot-free. Make certain loads are washed in hot water. Three ways to have a reliable hot water supply..

1.Maintain a 140°F (60%) water supply at central water heater. To check water temperature, turn on hot water faucet nearest the dishwasher. Let water run until it is as hot as possible, then check with a candy or meat thermometer. If the temperature at the faucet is below 135°F (5PC), have a qualified person raise the water heater thermostat setting.

2.Do not use Lo-Energy Option. When this option is off, a thermostat will delay the cycle while the dishwasher heats the water until the tempera- ture reaches 140°F (60°C).

3.Use Hi-Temp Rinse Option. If water heating is needed, a thermostat will delay the cycle while the dishwasher heats the water until the tem- perature reaches 140°F (60°C).

NOTE: When Lo-Energy Option is off and/or Hi- Temp Rinse is used and the water is hot enough at the start, the cycle will proceed with no delay.

This lets you turn down your water heater, if you choose, without cutting back on hot water needed for good dishwashing.
