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.
3. Check the temperature
on the thermometer
as the water is
running into the cup.
Additional efficiency tips
•
To save water and energy and time, 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 a 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 the 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.
If your home is equipped with a water softener, you may want
to avoid starting the dishwasher
during the regeneration of
the softener, since this may contribute to poor wash
performance.
Select the wash cycle and options desired and press START/
RESUME. The dishwasher starts filling once you press START/
RESUME, unless you select a delay wash. You can select an
option as the machine is filling.
After a wash cycle, the dishwasher remembers the options used
and uses the same options in the next wash cycle unless new
options are selected or Cancel/Drain is selected.
A "Q" shows what steps are in each cycle.
Temperatures indicate where extra heat is added.
Water usage is shown in U.S. gallons/liters.
Cycle time includes dry time. An asterisk ( * ) by the cycle time
indicates the cycle time might be longer depending on the
temperature of the water entering the dishwasher. The cooler the
water, the longer the cycle time. If the water is already hot
enough, the cycle time will be as shown.
HEAVY WASH
Use this cycle for hard-to-clean,
heavily soiled pots, pans,
casseroles, and regular tableware.
