ForBestResults Hot water is a must For best cleaning and drying results, water should be at least 140°F (60%). 1. Turn on hot water faucet nearest the dishwasher. Let water run until it is as hot as possible. 2. Hold a candy or meat thermometer In the stream of hot water to measure the temperature 3.

Load correctly for best washing results.
