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 soaks and pauses for exceptional cleaning. Several models contain
an optical water sensor. The optical water sensor is used to determine the optimum water and energy
consumption for great cleaning performance. Efficient dishwashers run longer to save water and energy, just as
driving a car slower saves on gas. The first cycle using the sensor will run longer to calibrate the optical sensor.
Rinse Aid
Detergent
Filtration System
Using rinse aid will optimize your drying and washing
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.
The United States and Canada have passed a restriction
limiting the amount of phosphorus (phosphates) in 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 ecological awareness.
With these recent changes it is recommended to use tablets
and packs for convenience and improved performance.
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.
