 tips

The power consumption of your
dishwasher can be minimized if
you follow these suggestions:

● 

 dishwasher only when

full. 

 dishes accumulate in

dishwasher. When you put in a
partial load, use 

 HOLD

cycle to rinse off heavy soils. Be
sure to latch door when waiting for
full load. This helps keep soils
moist, easier to remove.

● 

Select cycle that uses least

amount of water to remove soil
from load. See 
pages 4 and 5.

 If you don’t need your dishes

right away, use your Drying Heat

 

 that turns the drying

heater off automatically and saves
energy. Dishes dry naturally over a
longer period such as overnight.

Check the Problem Solver (pages

13 and 14). It lists causes of minor

operating problems that you can
correct yourself.
