Water temperature tips
Hot water dissolves and activates the
dishwashing detergent. Hot water also
dissolves grease on dishes and helps dry
glasses spot-free. Use the Hi-Temp option if
you keep your water heater at a low setting.
For best dishwashing results, water must
be at least 120°F (49°C) as itenters the
dishwasher.
To check water temperature
1. Run hot water at the faucet closest to
your dishwasher. Let the water run for at
least one minute.
2. Measure the water temperature with a
candy or meat thermometer. Put the
thermometer in the running stream
of water.
3. Ifthe water temperature at the faucet is
below 120°F (49°C), have a qualified
person raise the water heater's thermo-
stat setting.
