Energy Efficiency Tips
Run your dishwasher with a full load to maximize energy efficiency, as it reduces the number of cycles needed.
Use the "Auto" wash cycle which automatically adjusts the wash settings to optimize energy and water usage.
Avoid using the "Sanitize" option unless necessary, as it requires higher temperatures and more energy.
Regularly check and clean the dishwasher filters to ensure optimal performance and efficiency.
Ensure the hot water supply to the dishwasher is at least 120°F (49°C) to improve cleaning efficiency and reduce energy usage for heating water.
Disconnect electrical power to the dishwasher before servicing to avoid electrical shock.
Repairs should be conducted by a qualified technician. Do not tamper with controls.
Under certain conditions, hydrogen gas may form in a hot water system that hasn't been used for two weeks or more. This can be explosive. Run hot water through all taps for several minutes to release any gas before using the dishwasher.
Do not operate the dishwasher unless all enclosure panels are securely in place to prevent electrical shock and water damage.
Do not store or use flammable materials like gasoline near the dishwasher, as this can lead to fire hazards.
