DISHWASHER EFFICIENCY TIPS
Hot water dissolves and activates the dishwasher detergent. Hot water also dissolves grease on dishes and helps glasses dry
spot-free. For best dishwashing results, water should be 120°F (49°C) as it enters the dishwasher. Loads may not wash as well
if the water temperature is too low.
Additional efficiency tips
■ To save water, energy, and time, only scrape dishes. Do not rinse dishes before putting them into the dishwasher.
■ Use a delay feature to run your dishwasher during o-peak hours. Local utility providers 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 a rinse aid to improve drying.

Premeasured Detergents
High quality premeasured tablets and packs are recommended
for improved performance.
Quality tablets and packs have been proven better than
powder, liquid, or gel detergents at reducing lming on
dishes. Using tablets and packs over time will start to reduce
or eliminate white lm. They are suitable for all hardness
and soil levels. Also, by using a rinse aid, you can minimize
repeat buildup of white lm (not all packs and tablets contain
rinse aid). Always place premeasured detergents in main
compartment and slide lid closed.
NOTE: Follow instructions on the package when using other
dishwasher detergent types. See the complete owners manual
for more details about powders, liquids, and gels.
■ Use automatic dishwasher detergent only. Add detergent
just before starting a cycle.
■ Fresh automatic dishwasher detergent results in better
cleaning. Store tightly closed detergent container in a cool
dry place.
