Water temperature tips

Hot water dissolves and activates the

dishwashing detergent. Hot water also

dissolves grease on dishes and helps dry

glasses spot-free.

For best dishwashing results, water must

be at least 120°F (49°C) as it enters the

dishwasher. The dishwasher will automati-

cally heat the water to help washing

performance.

To check water temperature

1. Run hot water at the faucet closest to

your dishwasher. Let the water run for at

least one minute.

2. Measure the water temperature with a

candy or meat thermometer. Put the

thermometer in the running stream

of water.

3. If the water temperature at the faucet is

below 120°F (49°C) have a qualified

person raise the water heater’s thermo-

stat setting.

Energy saving tips

You can help save energy if you:

l

Wash full loads. Running a half-filled

dishwasher uses the same amount of

electricity and hot water as a fully loaded

machine.

l

If your model has the Light Wash cycle,

use it whenever possible. The cycle uses

less hot water and energy than the Normal

Wash cycle.

l

Use the Air Dry option when you don’t

need a rapid drying cycle. Allow longer

drying times (overnight). Use a rinse agent

to improve drying.

l

Load correctly for best washing results.

Incorrect loading may cause poor washing

and the need to rewash all or part of

the load.

l

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

rinsing.

l

Use your dishwasher during off-peak

hours. Local utilities recommend this to

avoid heavy usage of energy at certain

times of day.
