Load correctly for best washing results. Incorrect loading may cause poor washing and the need to rewash all or part of load. Do not prerinse normally soled dishes. Select the correct cycle for the bad and use the recommended amount of detergent.

Cycle and option tips

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 AIR DRY option whenever pos- sible. Allow longer drying times (overnight). Use a rinse agent to improve drying.

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

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.

ndy or meat thermometer in the running stream of water. If water temperature at the faucet is below 120°F (49°C) have a qualified person raise the water heater’s thermostat setting.
