Whirlpool 9200 SERIES manual Energy saving tips

Energy saving tips

You can help save energy if you:

1.Wash full loads. Running a half-filled dish- washer uses the same amount of electricity and hot water as a fully loaded machine.

2.Use the Low Energy Cycle whenever

possible. It uses less hot water and energy than other cycles.

3.Air dry dishes when you don’t need a rapid drying cycle. Allow longer drying times (over- night). Use a rinse agent to improve drying.

4.Load correctly for best washing results. Incorrect loading.may cause poor washing and the need to rewash all or part of the load.

5.Do not pre-rinse normally soiled dishes. Select the correct cycle for the load and use the recommended amount of detergent for good washing results without hand nnsmg.

6.Use your dishwasher during off-peak hours. Local utilities recommend this to avoid heavy usage of energy at certain times of day.

Dishwasher care 8 cleaning

Exterior - Regular use of a soft, damp cloth or sponge and a mild detergent is all lhat is neces- sary, in most cases, to keep the outside of your dishwasher nice looking and clean.

Interior - Hard water minerals may cause a white film to build-up on the inside surfaces, especially just beneath the door area. To clean dishwasher interior:

1.Apply powdered dishwasher detergent to a damp sponge to make a paste.

OR

2.Use liquid automatic dishwasher detergent and clean with damp sponge.

Wear rubber gloves. Do not use any type of cleanser other than automatic dishwasher de- tergent because it may cause foaming or sudsing.
