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

● 

Operate dishwasher only when

full. Let dishes accumulate in
dishwasher. When you put in a
partial load, use RINSE 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
OFF feature  
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

12-14). It lists causes of minor

operating problems that you can
correct yourself.
