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 elecfricity and
hot water as a fully loaded machine.

2. Use the Light Wash Cycle whenever

' possible.

It uses less hot water and energy

than other cycles.

3. Air dry dishes

when you don’t need a rapid

drying cycle. Allow longer drying times (over
night). Use a rinse agent to improve drying.

4. Load porrectly

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 af certain times of day.

7. Select the Lo-Energy Option.

The auto

matic water heating in the main wash will be
turned off.

NOTE:

Loads may not wash as well if the water

temperature is too low.

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. To clean dishwasher

interior:

1. Apply powdered dishwasher detergent to a

damp sponge to make a paste.

Use liquid automatic dishwasher detergent and

clean with damp sponge.

Wear rubber gloves.

Do not

use any type of

cleanser other than automatic dishwasher de
tergent because it may cause foaming or sudsing.
