Hot water dissolves and activates the dishwashing detergent•
Hot water also dissolves grease on dishes and helps glasses dry
spot-free• For best dishwashing results, water must be at least
120°F (49°C) as it enters the dishwasher• Loads may not wash as
well if the water temperature is too low.
To check water temperature
1, Run hot water at the faucet closest to your dishwasher for at
least 1 minute.
2. Place a candy or meat thermometer in a glass measuring
cup.
Select the wash cycle• If the door is latched, you will hear the
cycles start and stop as the Cycle Control knob passes each
cycle mark. This is normal and does not hurt the dishwasher. If
you prefer, you can set the Cycle Control knob with the door
unlatched•
NOTE: Use the No Heat Dry option with the Rinse Only cycle•
A "O" shows what steps are in each cycle•
Water usage is shown in U.S. galFons/liters.
Cycle time includes dry time.
3. Check the temperature on the thermometer as the water is
running into the cup.
4. If the water temperature at the faucet is below 120°F (49°C),
have a qualified person raise the water heater's thermostat
setting.
• To save water and energy, do not rinse dishes before putting
them into the dishwasher.
• Use a low energy, quick, or short cycle whenever possible.
These cycles use less hot water and energy than the Normal
cycle.
• Use a delay feature (on some models) to run your dishwasher
during off-peak hours. Local utilities recommend avoiding
heavy usage of energy at certain times of day.
• During the summer, run your dishwasher at night. This
reduces daytime heat buildup in the kitchen.
• Use an air dry, or an energy-saving dry option whenever
possible. Allow longer drying times (overnight) when using
these options. Use a rinse aid to improve drying.
Use cycles or options that add extra heat to the wash or rinse
portion of the cycle only when needed.
Run your dishwasher with full loads. Run a rinse cycle after
meals until the dishwasher is full.
