Operating Instructions
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, open your dishwasher door and they will 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.
Energy-Saving
Good Dishwashing Starts with HOT Water
To get dishes clean and dry, you need hot water. To help you get water of the proper temperature, your dishwasher automatically heats the water in the wash cycle. For good washing and drying, the entering water must be at least 120°F. To prevent dish damage, inlet water should not exceed 150°F.
How to Test Water Temperature
Higher water temperature is needed to dissolve grease and activate powder detergents.
Check your water temperature with a candy or meat thermometer. Turn on the hot water faucet nearest the dishwasher. Put the thermometer in a glass and let the water run continuously into the glass until the temperature stops rising. If the water temperature is below 120°F, adjust your water heater.

Helpful Hints
If outside temperatures are unusually low, or if your water travels a long distance from water heater to dishwasher, you may need to set your water heater’s thermostat up. If you have not used hot water for some time, the water in the pipes will be cold. Turn on the hot water faucet at the sink and allow it to run until the water is hot. Then start the dishwasher.
If you’ve recently done laundry or run hot water for showers, give your water heater time to recover before operating the dishwasher.
To improve washability if the water is less than 120°F and you cannot adjust your water heater: Select a longer cycle and fill both detergent cups at least half
full with detergent.
