of energy at certain times of day.
l
Do not use the HIGH TEMP WASH option
if it is not needed. When this option is off, if
water entering the dishwasher is lower
than 14O’F (60”), the cycle does not take
additional time to heat water during the
main wash. In some cases, loads may not
dry as well when using the HIGH TEMP
WASH option.
NOTE: Loads may not wash or dry as well
if the water temperature is too low. For
best dishwashing results, water must be at
least 120°F (49°C) as it enters the dish-
washer.
To check water temperature:
1. Run the hot water at the faucet closest
to your dishwasher. Let
the water run for at least
1 minute.
2. Hold a candy or meat thermometer in
the running stream of water.
If water temperature at the
faucet is below 120°F
(49°C) have a qualified
person raise the water
heater’s thermostat setting.
