Whirlpool SERIES 920, 929 warranty Saving Energy, Cycle and option tips, To check water temperature

Saving Energy

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

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

•Do not prerinse normally soiled dishes. Select the correct cycle for the load and use the recommended amount of detergent.

Cycle and option tips

•Use the Low Energy cycle whenever possible. The cycle uses less hot water and energy than the Normal Wash cycle.

•Use the Delay Hours feature to run your dishwasher during off-peak hours. Local utilities recommend avoiding heavy usage of energy at certain times of day.

•Use the Air Dry option whenever possible. Allow longer drying times (overnight). Use a rinse agent to improve drying.

•Loads may not wash or dry as well if the water temperature is too low. For best dishwashing results, water must be at least 120°F (49°C) as it enters the dishwasher.

To check water temperature:

1.Run the hot water at the faucet closest to your dishwasher. Let the water

run for at least 1 minute.

2.Hold a candy or meat thermometer in the

running stream of water. If the water temperature at the faucet is below 120°F (49°C), have a qualified person raise the water heater’s thermostat setting.
