Energy-Saving Tips

●Operate dishwasher only when it’s full. Let the dishes accumulate in dishwasher. When you put in only a partial load, use the RINSE & HOLD cycle to rinse off heavy soils. Be sure to latch the door when waiting for a full load. This helps keep soils moist, easier to remove.

●If you don’t need your dishes right away, use your ENERGY-SAVERno heat boost feature that turns the drying heater off automatically. Dishes dry naturally over a longer period such as overnight.

●Always select the cycle that uses the least amount of water that will remove the soil from the load. (See the Operating section.)

●Turn your water heater down to deliver 120°F. water to your dishwasher and use the WASH HEAT BOOST Option. Make sure the entering water temperature is no less than 120°F. (See How to Test Water Temperature section).

Good Dishwashing Stark with HOT Water

To get dishes clean and dry, you need hot water. To help you get water of the proper temperature, your dishwasher has a WATER HEAT BOOST feature. When selected (see Operating section), this water heating feature allows you to turn down your household water heater and save energy if you’re willing to let the dishwasher run a little longer while it heats water. For good washing and drying, the entering water must be between 120°F. and 140°F. To prevent dish damage, inlet water shodd not exceed 150°F.
