Energy saving tips
You can help save energy if you:
1. Wash full loads.
Running a half-filled dish
washer uses the same amount of electricity and
hot water as a fully loaded machine.
2. Use the Light Wash Cycle for moderately
soiled loads.
It uses less hot water and
energy than the Normal Wash Cycle.
3. Air dry dishes
when you don't need a rapid
drying cycle. Allow longer drying times (over
night). Use a rinse agent to improve drying.
4. Load correctly
for best washing results.
Incorrect loading may cause poor washing and
the need to rewash all or part of the load.
5. Do not pre-rinse normally soiled dishes.
Select the correct cycle for the load and use the
recommended amount of detergent for good
washing results without hand rinsing.
6
. Use your dishwasher
during off-peak hours.
Local utilities recommend this to avoid heavy
usage of energy at certain times of day.
