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 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
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. Maintenance of your filters
regularly 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.
