Energy use
The yellow energy guide label that came on
your unit tells how much energy it would
use in one year and how it compares to
others that are available. The energy is
based on the NORMAL cycle response
to tests that apply soils and dishware that
simulate the average use. Eight place
settings of dishware and some serving
pieces are used during the test. The total
energy is based on running the average
number of cycles per year, applying typical
soil levels to the dishware and half the time,
selecting the option of using extra energy
to more fully dry the dishware. Actual
energy and water use will depend upon the
cycle and options you select.
This unit uses an in-line water heating
element that is located under the
tub. There is no exposed heater that
plasticware might come in contact with
or that is accessible to touch. The heat is
taken to the dishware through the heated
water. For this reason, plastic dishware
may be placed where it best fits in either
the top or bottom rack. Temperatures are
uniform throughout the dishwasher.
If the user prefers to save energy and dry
the dishes by hand they select the AIR
DRY option. If you prefer to spend slightly
more energy to get the dishes drier then
turn the AIR DRY option off and select
one of the heated dry options. In response
the wash and rinse temperatures in the
cycle will be increased.
This will help the cleaning and it will also
get the dishwasher hotter. When the final
drain removes all standing water, the extra
heat stored in the dishware will act to
evaporate the remaining water.
Your unit provides a selection of cycles. In
general, the more water used by a cycle
and the hotter the temperatures it reaches
the more energy that it uses. Several
cycles, such as the NORMAL cycle will
change their response based on soil level,
NOTE
For the first cycle after power is applied
(when first installed or after a power
failure) the sensor will not be calibrated
and so cannot determine the soil load.
Therefore, your unit will provide a
response suitable for heavy soils on the
first run after power is restored. Energy
use during this first run may be higher
than would be typical.
Your unit has DishSense
TM
Technology
that is used to understand how heavily
soiled the dish load is so the cycle can be
automatically adjusted to the appropriate
response. This helps to prevent energy
waste. The sensor is calibrated at the
end of each cycle. This will assure that
whatever is loaded will be cleaned.

NOTE
If the dishwasher door is opened while
the unit is running, the START/CANCEL
pad must be pressed and the door shut
immediately to return the unit to the
selected cycle and option. This must
happen within 10 minutes for the unit to
continue the cycle.
options selected, and ambient conditions.
The NORMAL cycle is good for all around
use. Other cycles are focused toward
special use like the HEAVY cycle that is
designed for heavily solid cookware.
