Energy Smart

Energy Smart enables your dishwasher to reduce energy consumption during periods of high energy costs. If you are in an area where your electricity provider charges variable rates at different times of the day, your dishwasher will inform you of those times when you are paying the highest rate. You can then either delay starting your dishwasher until the rate goes down; or you can override the feature and run your dishwasher at your convenience.

What you will need:

1 Smart Meter that will communicate with your dishwasher. Consult your local electricity provider to determine if the technology is available in your area.

2 An Energy Smart dishwasher model (CDT725-765, DDT575, GDF570, GDT580-740, PDT750-760).

3 An Appliance Communication Module (ACM). Please visit, gebrillion.com to order the communication device that will need to be installed in the dishwasher.

Rinse agents, such as Cascade® Complete Rinse Aid are designed for great drying action and to protect against spots and film build-up on your dishes, glasses, flatware, cookware, and plastic.
