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 the pauses for exceptional cleaning. Models with SmartWash
®
contain
an optical water sensor. The optical water sensor is used to determine the optimum water and energy
consumption for great cleaning performance. 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 and Canada have 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. Regular maintenance of your
filters 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.
