Energy Saving Tips
You can help save energy if you:
1.Wash full loads. Running a half- filled dishwasher uses the same amount of electricity and hot water as a fully loaded machine.
2.Use the Energy Saver Wash Cycle, if your dishwasher has one, whenever possible. It uses less hot water and energy than other wash cycles.
3.Air dry dishes when you don’t need a rapid drying cycle. Allow longer drying times (overnight).
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.Don’t
6.Use your dishwasher during off- peak hours. Local utilities recommend this to avoid heavy usage of energy at certain times of day.
7.Kitchen cleanup can be done quickly and efficiently through the use of your dishwasher. Most appliance parts that can fit in the dishwasher can be cleaned by it.
