: Water
lo get dishes clean and dry you need hot
water. To help you get water of the proper
temperature, your dishwasher
automatically heats the water in the wash
cycle. Higher water temperature is needed
to dissolve grease and activate powder
detergents. For good washing and drying,
the entering water must be at least 120°F.
To prevent dish damage, inlet water
should not exceed 150°F.
Check your water temperature with a
candy or meat thermometer.
Turn on the hot water faucet nearest the
dishwasher. Put the thermometer in a
glass and let the water run continuously
into the glass until the temperature stops
rising.
Do not operate the dishwasher during or
right after other heavy use of hot water,
such as for laundry or bathing.
Water Pressure
Water supply pressure must be between
15 and 120 pounds per square inch. To
determine if you have enough pressure,
p'" a 1 quart container under a fully
ed hot water faucet nearest the
eJ_nwasher. If the container fills in less
:" 9 seconds, water pressure is within
.cceptable range. Be sure all other
faucets are turned off during this test.
