What’s New in Your Dishwasher 
Energy 
Performance
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. Several models contain 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.
Rinse Aid
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. Energy efficient dishwashers use less water and 
energy, so they depend on the water “sheeting” action of rinse 
aid for total optimal performance. 
Detergent
The United States and Canada have passed a restriction limiting 
the amount of phosphorus (phosphates) in the household 
dishwasher detergents to no more than 0.5%, where previous 
detergents contained 8.7%. Major manufacturers have 
reformulated their dishwasher detergent for this change in 
detergents as another step in eco-conscious awareness. With 
these recent changes it is recommended to use tablets and 
packs for convenience and improved performance.
Filtration System
Your dishwasher has the latest technology in dishwasher 
filtration. This triple filtration system minimizes sound and 
optimizes water and energy conservation while providing optimal 
cleaning performance. Maintenance of your filters regularly will 
sustain peak cleaning performance. We suggest you clean both 
your upper and lower filter and rinse under running water at least 
once a month.
