Energy
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. Your dishwasher contains
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.
Performance
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. The use of rinse aid greatly improves drying
by allowing water to drain from the dishes after the final rinse.
Rinse aid also keeps water from forming droplets that can dry as
spots or streaks.

What's New in Your Dishwasher

Rinse Aid
The United States and Canada have passed restrictions
limiting the amount of phosphorus (phosphates) in household
dishwasher detergents to reduce the impact of detergents
on our environment. Major manufacturers have reformulated
their dishwasher detergent. With these recent changes it is
recommended to use tablets and packs for convenience and
improved performance.
Your dishwasher has the latest technology in dishwasher
filtration. The Clean Water Wash system continuously removes
food particles from the wash water for excellent performance.
Plus, there is no need to ever remove and clean the filter.
