GETTING THE BEST RESULTS
Water Temperature
For best cleaning and drying results, water should be 120°F (49°C) as it enters the dishwasher. You can check the temperature of hot water at your sink with a candy or meat thermometer. Turn on the faucet nearest the dishwasher. Let the water run until it is as hot as possible, then insert the thermometer into the stream of water.
If your water heater is located far from the dishwasher, it may be necessary to run the hot water at the faucet closest to the dishwasher to minimuze the amount of cold water in the line.
Water Pressure
Water pressure should be between 15 and 120 pounds per square inch. To determine if you have enough water pressure, put a two (2) quart container under the fully opened hot water faucet nearest the dishwasher — it should be full in less than 14 seconds. Be sure that all other faucets are shut off during this test.
Electrical Supply
Your dishwasher should be connected to its own separate grounded circuit. It requires a 15 ampere fuse or circuit breaker protection. Use a 20 ampere fuse if the dishwasher is connected with a food disposer.
