Saving
Electricity with Household Appliances - Dishwasher
Dishwasher energy consumption
can be reduced by turning off the dishwasher after the final
rinse and before the drying cycle. The clean dishes can then
be wiped with a dry cloth. Fill the dishwasher completely
before operating. Partial loads waste electricity and water.
Short wash cycles, rinse-only cycles, mid-cycle turn-off,
and other features are designed for energy conservation as
well as convenience.
 Connect
your dishwasher to COLD water supply unless otherwise
directed. Normally only one wash and one final rinse cycle
requires hot water which is heated by an element in the
dishwasher.
The dishwasher filters must be kept clear of debris. A
blocked filter reduces efficiency and wastes energy.
Proper loading is important for the dishwasher to work
efficiently.
