soiid or bar-type rinse aid.

Fiot water dissoives and activates the dishwashing detergent. Fiot water aiso dissoives grease on dishes and heips giasses dry spot­
free. For best dishwashing resuits, water shouid be 120°F (49°C) as it enters the dishwasher. Loads may not wash as weii if the water
temperature is too iow. Water that is too hot can make some soiis harder to remove and cause certain detergent ingredients not to
function, if your water heater is iocated far from the dishwasher, it may be necessary to run the hot water at the faucet ciosest to the
dishwasher to minimize the amount of coid water in the water iine.

ieast 1 minute.
2. Piace a candy or meat thermometer in a giass measuring
cup.
3. Check the temperature on the thermometer as the water is
running into the cup.
Additional efficiency tips
To save water, energy and time, do not rinse dishes before
putting them into the dishwasher.
Use a deiay feature to run your dishwasher during off-peak
hours. Locai utiiities recommend avoiding heavy usage of
energy at certain times of day.
During the summer, run your dishwasher at night. This
reduces daytime heat buiidup in the kitchen.
Use a rinse aid to improve drying.
Use cycies or options that add extra heat to the wash or rinse
portion of the cycie oniy when needed.
if your home is equipped with a water softener, you may want
to avoid starting the dishwasher during the regeneration of
the softener, since this may contribute to poor wash
performance.
