Quiet operating tips

To avoid thumping and clattering noises during operation:

•Make sure lightweight load items are secured in the rack.

•Make sure pot lids and handles, pizza pans, cookie sheets, etc., do not touch the dishwasher sides or interfere with the spray arm rotation.

•Where possible, load items so they do not touch one another.

NOTE: Keep sink drain plugs inserted during dishwasher operation to prevent noise trans- fer through drains.

Normal operating sounds

Some normal sounds you might hear while the dishwasher is running:

•The fill valve opening or closing and the sound of water entering the dishwasher.

•Food soil being ground up in the food disposer.

•Water being pumped out during drain portion of a cycle.

•Pump motor starting.

•Wash/rinse action of water spray. To minimize noise of water circulating on dishes, see the “Loading Your Dishwasher” section.

•Detergent cup opening.

Energy saving tips

Set your home water heater to provide a minimum of 120°F (49°C) incoming water to the dishwasher.

To check water temperature:

1.Run hot water at the faucet closest to your dishwasher. Set a cup under the faucet, and place a candy or meat thermometer in it.

2.Run hot water for at least one minute into

the cup, allowing the water to

overflow. Check the tempera- ture. If the water temperature is below 120°F (49°C), have a qualified person raise the

thermostat setting on your water heater.

•Run the dishwasher only with a full load.

•Use only the cycle and options that you need.

•Run the dishwasher during off-peak hours if your utility company offers reduced rates on electricity during specific times of day.

•Run the dishwasher at night during the summer to reduce daytime heat buildup in your home.

•Do not rinse dishes before loading.

•Use the Energy Saver Dry option.
