Energy Saving Tips
You can help save energy if you:
1. Wash full loads. Running a half-filled
dishwasher uses the same amount of
electricity and hot water as a fully loaded
machine.
2. If your model has the Light Wash Cycle,
use it whenever possible. The cycle uses
less hot water and energy than the
Normal Wash Cycle.
3. Air dry dishes when you don’t need a
rapid drying cycle. Allow longer drying
times (overnight). Use a rinse agent to
improve drying.
4. Load correctly for best washing results.
Incorrect loading may cause poor
washing and the need to rewash all or
part of the load.
5. Do not pre-rinse normally soiled dishes.
Use the recommended amount of
detergent for good washing results
without hand rinsing.
6. Use your dishwasher during off-peak
hours. Local utilities recommend this to
avoid heavy usage of energy at certain
times of day.
7. Kitchen cleanup can be done quickly and
efficiently through the use of your
dishwasher. Most appliance parts that
can fit in the dishwasher can be cleaned
by it. Burned-on soil, however, should be
cleaned by hand.
