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.
Press the desired cycle. Turn the cycle control knob to the
desired cycle. If the door is latched, you will hear the cycles start
and stop as the cycle control knob passes each cycle mark. This
is normal and does not hurt the dishwasher. If you prefer, you can
set the cycle control knob with the door unlatched.
To use Rinse Only, press NORMAL WASH, LIGHT WASH or the
NO HEAT DRY option and turn the cycle control knob to RINSE
ONLY.
