Energy saving tips
You can help save energy if you:
1. Wash full loads. Running a half-filled dish-
washer uses the same amount of electricity and
hot water as a fully loaded machine.
2. Use the LOW ENERGY WASH Cycle
whenever possible. It uses less hot water and
energy than other wash cycles.
3. Air dry dishes when you don’t need a
rapid drying cycle. Allow longer drying times
(overnight).
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.
Select the correct cycle for the load and 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.
Dishwasher care & cleaning
Exterior - Regular use of a soft damp cloth or
sponge and a mild detergent is all that is neces-
sary, in most cases, to keep the outside of your
dishwasher nice looking and clean. Interior -
Hard water minerals may cause a white film to
build-up on the inside surfaces, especially just
beneath the door area. Wear rubber gloves when
cleaning the dishwasher interior. Do not use any
type of cleanser other than dishwasher detergent
because it may cause foaming or sudsing.
