SAVING ENERGY  
21  
Energy use  
DishSenseTM technology  
The yellow energy guide label that came  
on your unit tells how much energy  
it would use in one year and how it  
compares to others that are available.  
The energy is based on the NORMAL  
cycle response to tests that apply soils  
and dishware that simulate the average  
use. Eight place settings of dishware and  
some serving pieces are used during the  
test. The total energy is based on running  
the average number of cycles per year,  
applying typical soil levels to the dishware  
and half the time, selecting the option of  
using extra energy to more fully dry the  
dishware. Actual energy and water use will  
depend upon the cycle and options you  
select.  
Your unit has DishSenseTM Technology  
that works to sense how heavily  
soiled the dish load is so the cycle is  
automatically adjusted to the appropriate  
response. This helps to prevent energy  
waste. The sensor is calibrated at the end  
of each cycle. and assures a clean load.  
NOTE  
For the first cycle after power is applied  
(when first installed or after a power  
failure) the sensor will not be calibrated  
and so cannot determine the soil load.  
Therefore, the unit provides a response  
suitable for heavily soiled dishes on the  
first run after power is restored. Energy  
use during this first run may be higher  
than would be typical.  
This unit uses an in-line water heating  
element that is located under the  
tub. There is no exposed heater that  
plasticware might come in contact with  
or that is accessible to touch. The heat is  
taken to the dishware through the heated  
water. For this reason, plastic dishware  
may be placed where it best fits in either  
the top or bottom rack. Temperatures are  
uniform throughout the dishwasher.  
If the user prefers to save energy and  
dry the dishes by hand they select  
the AIR DRY option. If you prefer to  
spend slightly more energy to get the  
dishes drier select one of the heated  
dry options. In response the wash and  
rinse temperatures in the cycle will be  
increased.  
This aids cleaning and also heats the  
dishwasher. When all standing water is  
removed in the final drain, the extra heat  
stored in the dishware acts to evaporate  
the remaining water.  
In general, more energy is used when  
more water and heat are used in a cycle.  
Several cycles, such as the NORMAL  
cycle, change based on soil level, options  
selected, and ambient conditions. The  
NORMAL cycle is good for all around use.  
Other cycles are focused toward special  
use like the HEAVY cycle that is designed  
for heavily solid cookware.
