Enemy-saviiffi tips

The power consumption of your dishwasher can be minimized if you follow these suggestions:

e Operate dishwasher only when full. Let dishes accumulate in dishwasher. When you put in a partial load, use RINSE ONLY cycle to rinse off heavy soils. Be sure to latch door when waiting for full load. This helps keep soils moist, easier to remove.

® If you don’t need your dishes right away, use your ENERGY SAVER no-heat feature that turns the dry'ing heater off automatically. Dishes dry naturally over a longer period such as overnight.

® Select cycle that uses least amount of water to remove sol! from load. See pages 4 and 5.
