Energy-Saving Tips
● Operate dishwasher only when it’s full. Let the
dishes accumulate in dishwasher. When you put in
only a partial load, use the RINSE & HOLD cycle
to rinse off heavy soils. Be sure to latch the door
when waiting for a
full
load.
This helps keep soils
moist, easier to remove.
● If you don’t need your dishes right away, use your
ENERGY-SAVER no heat boost feature that turns
the drying heater off automatically. Dishes dry
naturally over a longer period such as overnight.
● Always select the cycle that uses the least amount
of water that will remove the soil from the load.
(See the Operating section.)
● Turn your water heater down to deliver
120°F.
water to your dishwasher and use the WASH HEAT
BOOST Option. Make sure the entering water
temperature is no less than
120°F.
(See How to Test
Water Temperature section).

proper temperature, your dishwasher has a WATER HEAT BOOST feature.
When selected (see Operating section), this water heating feature allows you
to turn down your household water heater and save energy if you’re willing to
let the dishwasher run a little longer while it heats water. For good washing
and drying, the entering water must be between
120°F.

140°F.
To prevent
dish damage, inlet water
