What’s New in Your Dishwasher
Energy
Performance
Congratulations on purchasing your water and energy efficient dishwasher! This dishwasher cleans by spraying the
dishes with water and pauses to allow the detergent to soak into and release the soils on the dishes. The cycles are
longer due to the soak and pauses for exceptional cleaning. Several models contain an optical water sensor. The
optical water sensor is used to determine the optimum water and energy consumption for great cleaning
performance. Efficient dishwashers run longer to save water and energy, just as driving a car slower saves on gas.
The first cycle using the sensor will run longer to calibrate the optical sensor.
Rinse Aid
Using rinse aid will optimize your drying and wash performance.
This dishwasher is specifically designed to be used with rinse aid
for improved drying performance and controlling buildup of hard
water deposits. Energy efficient dishwashers use less water and
energy, so they depend on the water “sheeting” action of rinse aid
for total optimal performance.
Detergent
The United States has passed a restriction limiting the amount of
phosphorus (phosphates) in the household dishwasher detergents
to no more than 0.5%, where previous detergents contained
8.7%. Major manufacturers have reformulated their dishwasher
detergent for this change in detergents as another step in eco-
conscious awareness. With these recent changes it is
recommended to use tablets and packs for convenience and
improved performance.
Filtration System
Your dishwasher has the latest technology in dishwasher filtration.
This triple filtration system minimizes sound and optimizes water
and energy conservation while providing optimal cleaning
performance. Maintenance of your filters regularly will sustain
peak cleaning performance. We suggest you clean both your
upper and lower filter and rinse under running water at least once
a month.
