Helpful hints: If outside
temperatures are unusually low, or
if your water travels a long distance
from water heater to dishwasher,
you may need to set your water
heater’s thermostat up. If you have
not used hot water for some time,
the water in the pipes will be cold.
Turn on the hot water faucet at the
sink and allow it to run until the
water is hot. Then start the
dishwasher. If you’ve recently
done laundry or run hot water for
showers, give your water heater
time to recover before operating the
dishwasher.
with Hot Water
To get dishes clean and dry, you
need hot water. To help you get
water of the proper temperature,
your dishwasher has a water
heating feature that boosts the
water temperature in the wash
cycle. This water heating feature
may allow you to turn down your
household water heater and save
energy if you’re willing to let the
dishwasher run a little longer while
it heats the water to the proper
temperature. For good washing and
drying, the entering water must be
at least 120°F. with the water heat

DISHWASHER LEAKS
Suds can cause unit to overflow. That’s why it’s so important to use a detergent that’s

Spilling the rinse agent can cause foam during washing. This can lead to overflowing.
